macbook pro > powerbook

it’s really a desktop/notebook argument, do you want to carry it around or not?

im still in school so i would like to carry it around…

Walter- how does the macbook pro compare to the powerbook?

only you can decide what’s best for you.

do a bit of research there… lot’s of knowledge floating around.

I agree with the mac pro > Powerbook…
In a little while I’mm sure someone’ll release a tripple boot system for the new intel X86 based macs then you can run Unix / Windblows / Apple… I dont know why you’d want windblows… but if you do… that’s the chance.

just released, 4-5x faster than powerbook

I am not sure when the Intel based Mac is going to be out, but you may want to wait so you can put windows or OSX on it and have that flexibility…

it’ll have to be a hack of some sort to get windows on it… but the intel based macs have been released.

:word:

But if you can’t wait, +1 macbook pro >powerbook.

It’s out now. intel based = macbook, no one knows if this will dual boot yet, you’ll be able to do it, but it might not be supported by apple, rumors are that the later ones will though, something about the firmware/bios that they didn’t get done for the macbook
