iBook or cheaper Powerbook
Anybody had experience with iBooks and Powerbooks? I need something to work on while commuting and am trying to decide between them. This is for mostly photoshop and after effects work.

If you were just doing Photoshop, I would say go with the iBook…but AE really needs a faster processor and a lot of RAM to work properly…unless you’re a really patient person who won’t pull out their hair waiting for frames to render…

I really love my mac but; I just bought an 1174 euro dell 6000, (I think ye get cheaper again with the US rebate codes) for which I got 3/4 gig of ram, centrino 1.5, 60 gig 5400 drive, 1600 x 1050 15.4″ display and for kicks they threw in a free printer.Just this evening completed a comparative test with the dual 1 ghz quicksilver at work, real world project, 3d lighting & transform, tons of effects & what have you.. This dell lappie was nearly TWO and one HALF times faster than my work mac. I literally nearly swallowed my cigarette. Downsides: No OSX. Which i badly miss. heavy (7pounder), screen while not bad at all, is not methinks in the same league as a pb. (no xblack stuff on it) Still tho. Based on that, for roughly half the spec price this thing must surely be kicking the 15″ p.book a long, long way into touch. Roll on pentiums?:)

Sorry, but I’ll pass on the Dell. PCs still have too many issues.
But thanks for the info. -
No bother. To be honest, I’d have to admit to a wee bit of trepidation with this thing. & lordie but i do miss the finder..
