    I'm a notebook guy, I love them. However, after using my friend ibook, I've found I really want to try a Mac as my next laptop, so I might make the switch over the summer. I think I want to get a power book, specifically this one:


    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/canadastore.woa/71303/wo/wB7LN4fP1B4g36Q10Qh1tTn9kZJ/1.0.7.1.0.5.17.1.2.25.3.1.1.0?66,10


    I want some opinions on powerbooks. I've heard some bad things about their keyboards, but I'm good with my fingers, but I still want to hear how they are. I might consider getting a 14.1 inch ibook, but only if they start putting bigger video cards in them. Any idea if Apple has any plans to do this? I'd like to hear all opinions and thoughts.

    hey, if you've had the chance to use an iBook and like it then it's a much easier decision to make the switch. You might want to wait until the end of summer as that's when Apple usually refreshes its notebook line and there's a rumor that they'll attempt to put the G5 processor in a notebook...not sure if that'll happen but if nothing else I'm sure they'll do something to make it worth the wait if you're not buying until summer anyway.
