[QUOTE="rberry88, post: 57437, member: 5169"] I was on the same fence about 2 weeks ago, on whether to buy the iBook or PowerBook. I decided on the 15" Powerbook for a few reasons (mostly personal): 1. Powerbook has the faster RAM and can take more of it. 2. Was able to upgrade the Hard drive to 80GB. 3. Was able to upgrade the video card to the ATI 128MB version 4. The DVI out is better (for lack of a better term) I needed a laptop that will last me 3-5 years so I really was looking at the growth of things in the future, especially with Tiger coming and the extra space (HDD) and capacity of RAM that it could hold. I'm not saying the iBook isn't good, it just wasn't going to fill my needs down the line as I won't be able to get a new laptop for a while. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
