[QUOTE="IanCT, post: 47928, member: 6074"] [b]Go for it[/b] I'm a PC -> Mac convert, (yay?) and I love my PowerBook. I opted for the 12" model, I have no need for the 15"+ models. (Wanted a little longer battery life too, 1024x768 is good enough for me) You can get Office 2004, and it's totally compatible with the Windows version. I would stay away from loading Virtual PC in order to run Office. It will be slow, however with 768MB ram in my 1.33GHz PB, I've run Windows 2000 quite nicely (giving it 512MB RAM in the VPC prefs) and I've also run The Curse of Monkey Island by LucasArts in WindowsXP under VPC 6.0 and it ran pretty well. But I wouldn't do any of my primary work using Virtual PC. Make the switch, use Office 2004 for OS X, you'll be pleasantly surprised/impressed. Especially Windows/Mac networking with Panther 10.3.x. Much improved over Jaguar 10.2.x [/QUOTE]
