yep.  I got me an ibook G4 today.  I also got a free Epson CX4600 (the all in ones).  It was one of those thanksgiving deals.  Ive been waiting to get a laptop for awhile now. Just had to share with someone.

Speaking of Apple I bought a 40gb iPod this week.  Another nail in M$\'s coffin.

I was looking at the powerbook, but it was more that my budget, and honestly more than I really need in a laptop.  Not that more power in a machine is ever a bad thing.  im still jealous of Juslights 20 inch Imac

I just might get an iBook. I only need it for simple video editing, music ripping/composing, and whatnot...and obviously for my college work. Of course...I\'ll get a boatload of RAM with it ;) Plus you get a discount if you\'re a student, so it\'s like $799, which is hundreds less than the Powerbook.

Ehm... congratulations to you ! eh or sumthin\'....

I dunno, my expierence with G4 ibook isn\'t that great.
I tried some very basic 3D modeling on such a Mac ; it\'s viewport performance was crawling. My PIII 667mhz (256mb ram plus a Geforce 2 GTS) does the same task with ease. I wasn\'t impressed with the G4 ibook at all.....

At the office my boss has both a Powerbook G5 which is indeed impressive, but he also has a G4 Cube. Once again, my old PIII beats that G4 Cube at such a thing as Photoshop....

But, yes... the Macs do look more pretty than my PIII :D

wow, then your boss must have gotten his powerbook from the future because normal powerbooks sport g4\'s just like the iBooks.

I was gonna say something, but im too lazy this morning to do so.  actually, I dont claim to be a mac expert, so I wasnt 100% on the fact that a G5 power book existed or not.  didnt feel like looking.  thanks for picking up my light work no one
