[X4U] Powerbook G4

[Dominic Ibarra]

I am leaning towards the 12inch with a Superdrive. I love the size 
aspect. I never understood why people want these monster size laptops. 
And I have always been partial to the silver cases. They seem to stick 
out more. I notice Powerbooks in airports or around town a lot quicker.

I agree that it would be nice if the 12inch offered a better graphics 
card. I am in a similar situation as Mark in that I would lug it around 
a lot but when I am home I would connect it to my Apple Studio display.

Flirting with PC's was short lived. I was considering an Alienware. 
They are probably as good as a PC can get (most Apple-like). Then my 
wife's Toshiba laptop got infected with all manner of virus and spyware 
after a night with our teenage niece. We had to restage. So Apple it 
will be with my allowance.

Cheers,

dominic
