[QUOTE="danger450, post: 702728, member: 60657"] Looking for tips of what to look for. I think I want either a 15 or 17 inch, with airport and superdrive. prefer OS 10.5. Other than that, I am not sure what to look for. I have been playing with a new MACBOOK and a new MACBOOK PRO (not mine, can't afford a new one - - but I LOVE it, trying to get an older, similiar model !) for about 2 months now and am convinced I need a powerbook G4 now ! uhm, okay - I have heard NOT to get the Titanium, as that had was an earlier model, and is prone to have expensive hinge problems, so I am focusing on the aluminum models. has anyone purchased a powerbook from [URL="http://www.wegenermedia.com/alum15.htm"]http://www.wegenermedia.com/alum15.htm[/URL] I have been trying to learn something from Wikipedia ( I know, I know .. !) here [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook[/URL] i would like, ideally, the newest macbook with the 7200rpm hdd, which came out after OCT 2005, but that might be only the top of the line POWERBOOK. but I guess a 5400 would be decent as well :Smirk: . uhm, don't need a HUGE hdd, I kep most items on an external backup disk anyways. What else should this MAC NEWBIE look for ? Do the powerbooks have a USB port on each side ? Which was the first PB series to include bluetooth, if any ? thanks! -Dave ALL your help is greatly appreciated !! :D thanks!! [/QUOTE]
