[QUOTE="Andy348, post: 715784, member: 65532"] I need a computer that doesn't necessarily need to be 100% portable, works for surfing the web, music, videos, youtube, some video editing (very very little) and being able to hold my 15K car pictures. My budget is $1000, maybe being able to push it up a bit if its something important. The choices are either a Powerbook or a MacBook. I like the look of the Powerbook because of the bigger screen and the bigger speakers (I ALWAYS listen to music while I'm on the computer) but it is fairly old, not as fast, and not as future-proof. I'm planning on having this laptop for a good 4 years. I'd immediatly go for the MacBook, but to me its not the Mac to replace my desktop, its the portable second computer. Also, going from a 19" to a 13" is going to be quite the change! So my question is, is it worth it to go for the maxed out PB even though its a couple of years older, or just stick with the MacBook and hope I get used to the screen?? [B]Any [/B]input is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
