Ok so I have somewhat of a dilemma... I just recently purchased a UMBP 15inch which is great love the thing to death. But I purchased it as a desktop replacement, it's not something I really want to carry around to school or work . Now I was throwing around the idea of getting another mac laptop to carry around with me. One that I don't have to worry about too much and that will probably be slightly abused and dinged up before I'm done with it.
So here are some of the ones I'm thinking about. A Powerbook G4, either a 12inch or a 15inch. Thinking about buying one from ebay or some other website that sells them. A Unibody Macbook, which I can pick up for 899.99 at my job. A macbook air. Which is light and very thin. I can also pick up the 1st revision at my work for about 1,200.
Each one has it's pros and cons but I was wondering what you guys think I should get. Right now I'm leaning more towards the Unibody Macbook because it's newer and has all the better specs. But in reality specs don't matter to me I'm just going to be typing emails and essays for school. So speed isn't really a factor. Like I said I just want something that I can sort of throw around. Not in the literal sense but you know what I mean.
Thanks in advance for your input!!!
