[QUOTE="EggrollShop, post: 711452, member: 64332"] Hello everyone! I've been torn up with this question for awhile now and I just wanted to see what people think I should get. I currently own a MacBook which I am planning to sell. With that money I was planning to put it towards either a Powerbook G4 12" with a 1.5ghz processor or a Macbook Pro 15". I'm only selling the Macbook because I wanted something either a little smaller, like the Powerbook, or something more powerful, like a Macbook Pro. I'm a very mobile person so that is why I was leaning towards the Powerbook, but I also am a power user, I do a lot of gaming, and I am also going back to school for a degree in Computer Engineering. The pros of a Powerbook, atleast for me, would be that it is small and compact so I can take it everywhere with me. The cons of it are that it is not as powerful compared to other laptops. The pros of a Macbook Pro, for me would be, it is practically a work horse that can take some programs I might use for school as well as games that I would like to run. The biggest con for me would be that it's a tad big. Lugging it around class with me would be a bit of a hassle since I also have my books to carry. All in all, I'm still very confused and from day to day I change my mind on what to get. And since Apple has the student discount till September 15th, which drops the Macbook Pro price too 1799$, my decision has been made even harder... Which laptop should I pick up? [/QUOTE]
