[QUOTE="Killer_VCS, post: 94202"] Hey every one. I'm new to these forums. I've used Mac's throughout my life, but have finally decided to buy one. I currently run a Windows system (I know...) but am selling it soon to buy a Mac... I didn't know where else to post this, so if it needs to be moved, that's fine... The thing is, I don't know which one to get. I'll be mostly using it for internet, email, dvd's, burning cds/dvds, and some gaming.. I dosome fairly hardcore gaming on my rig now, and that's the only reason that I have windows around (my main OS is Linux). Before I start, I'd like to mention that my budget will probably be anywhere around $800-$100 CDN. So please don't offer me to get something out of that. So anyways, I am tossed up between two Mac's.. The first is an iBook.. I'm looking at picking up a used G3. I don't need it to have a dvd-rom/super drive in it as I have one in an enclosure. Also, hard drive space doesn't matter, so if it has a 30gig, that's fine. I have two 120's sitting around with stuff on them.. Secondly, is the new MacMini. I was looking at getting the 1.42ghz:80gig one, as it's only $750. Clearly this is better than any G3 iBook or PowerBook, but I still want a laptop.. What would you guys do? [/QUOTE]
