I bought a Titanuim 15" powerbook the very last day they made them, and it's time for a new one. I want to sell it before I start having issues with it, and while I can still get some money for it. So some questions for you:
• Is ebay the best place to sell it? And how much should I expect for it? Like I said, it's 15", 40g hard drive, 812 mhz processor, 512 RAM, with a combo drive. My AppleCare ran out 3 weeks ago. The screen has been replaced and there is hardly any wear or scratches on the casing (other than some on the trackpad.) I want to get a new laptop. Im kind of leaning towards a Macbook, because of the price, but I am weary of the Rosetta factor. I am a graphic designer, and will be doing some Illustrator & Photoshop work on it, but not nearly as much as I did on my powerbook when I was in college. My 'design job' kinda sucks the life out of me and i dont design on my computer too much at home. If I get a Macbook and load it with RAM, do you think that it will work for me? Or should I just suck it up, pay the extra, and get a Macbook Pro? I am planning on waiting until the Macbooks get updated to purchase, (hopefully within the next few weeks or so) but I do want something fairly soon. I dont know if I want to wait until spring.... thanks! Last edited by preston : 2006-10-05 at 13:54. Reason: i confuse m's & g's sometimes. |

OMG I'LL BUY IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!
Seriously, though, I don't know about the resale value of the TiBooks, so... Quote:
You won't have to wait until spring for the MacBook to be upgraded. Apple is very serious about regaining market share, and they won't go into the holidays with a 6-month-old notebook model. Look for them to be upgraded this month. As far as the RAM goes, why do you think you need 2 GB? The MacBook Pro offers no major improvements in PhotoShop, as PS is processor-intensive, and the processors are essentially the same. You probably don't need 2 GB of RAM, but it can't hurt. I'd recommend getting a MacBook with at least 1GB RAM, and if you feel like you need it, a nice big display to hook it up to at home. [edit]Oh, I just noticed you're new. Welcome to AppleNova! |

Thank you....I feel better about not going Pro this time. I kind of purchased my last one without doing research and spent way too much money. And now im perpetually broke and need to be more careful |
