Thanks for discussion y'all. I am going to sell my powerbook, and use the cash to buy a slick white Macbook. The Macbook will be of the same decor of a couple of other gadgets I have, my white Nintendo DS lite, and my 1st gen ipod shuffle. I was testing out the macbook in store today, the keyboard is not as slick as my powerbook. I hope not having a dedicated video card doesn't deter from the Macbooks usability. I don't mind the smaller screen on the Macbook because I like the form factor a lot with the magnetic lid. So does anyone object to my move of getting rid of my top of the line G4 powerbook for a white Macbook? Jean-Paul, I will email u reagrding selling my powerbook.
