I was waiting for the pBook update at MWSF that didn't happen, but it doesn't really matter because I still want to get a pbook in the next 2 weeks. The thing is, I realized that I can get a BTO 1.8Ghz 17" iMac G5 for about the same as the BTO 12" pBook I want. I really want a pBook because they are really hot looking, light and portable, but the iMac has alot more power behind it w/ that 1.8Ghz G5... I'm really torn; does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

If you don't actually need portability than get the iMac. You'll be much happier with the performance. However I suppose this depends on what you want to do with your computer in the first place......

If you don't need portability, a desktop is ALWAYS the best way to go. That's the deciding factor here. The iMac is a sweet machine, but I've got a 12" powerbook because I need a laptop.

Other than speed, what does a G5 offer over a G4? Specifically, is there any software that can be run on the G5 that will not work on the G4?

Powerbook. I have yet to see someone use an iMac on their deck or in the sh*tter.
I sit an a desk in an office all day. I refuse to do the same at home. |
