so, a laptop for college
will: wanton sex god:
okay so back on topic, 14 inch ibook is looking ideal, right?
what would be a reason to have a powerbook?
Trollstormur:
powerbooks are better, but more expensive. They also don't look like a jolly rancher.
will: wanton sex god:
better for what?
is there any thing that would warrant a powerbook purchase over an ibook one, for me?
Inanimate Object:
Powerbooks are basically the "pro" models. They have higher system specs, faster processors, bigger HDs, more RAM. They also have slightly bigger screens. It goes: 12in, 15in, 17in.
If you're just getting a laptop for college, I'd still go for the iBook. It's a lot cheaper, and it doesn't seem like you need the power of a Powerbook. Also, one of the main cons of a Powerbook is how hot they get. Since they're made out of metal, they run really hot. The 17 isn't as bad because it has more cooling room, but with the 12 and 15 inchers, you're going to want to make sure you're wearing jeans before putting it on your lap.

It depends what your used to i guess as for whether you go apple or whatever but when i was looking for a laptop for uni I went with a refurbished Toshiba laptop meaning that it is wicked fast (were talking 3.06 GHz, with 512 MB RAM and 80 GB hardrive) but also fairly cheap (it was about $AU1500) and I have a 17inch screen with a cd/dvd burner and tonnes of software plus a fully comprehensive 1 year warranty so I guess I got a pretty sweet deal but then again I have computer nerd buddies who set that up for me via e-bay so I guess you just gotta shop around for the best deal .... even have a look on the net to get an idea of prices but yeah I love my laptop and I havent had any problems with it but then again the Toshiba Satellite series are pretty good as far as laptops go *hugs laptop*
