At the time I bought my iBook 500: - The smaller size with the 12" screen was a huge advantage to me (Powerbooks only had 15" screen) - Saved $1000 on cost - I liked the white color :) - I've always liked the tray-loading combo drives better than slot-loading for laptops (guess those days are over) Tom -----Original Message----- From: ibook-bounces at listserver.themacintoshguy.com [mailto:ibook-bounces at listserver.themacintoshguy.com] On Behalf Of Lucas Jacinto Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 12:12 AM To: ibook at listserver.themacintoshguy.com Subject: [iBook] ibook or powerbook why do we prefer the ibook over the powerbook? i was just wondering what you people have to say about this thought. _______________________________________________ iBook mailing list iBook at listserver.themacintoshguy.com http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/ibook
