I know there are alot of these but my situation is a bit different, so if your bored and want to give me your oppinion, please do!
I currently have the latest 12inch Powerbook, purchased it in Septemeber, i am not 100% positive if i am loving the macbook as much as i had loved the powerbook when i first saw it, but i do like all the little beneifts (isight, frontrow, WS) but am a bit disapointed with the integrated graphics..anywhoo
If i keep my powerbook, i will need to get the applecare soon which cost $258 (including 8% tax)..
If i get a macbook, i'd sell the 12inch pb ($900 on ebay?), and i'd get the midrange one $1296 (inclduing 8%Tax) so the difference would be around $400.. but keeping in mind that i could put off buying applecare for a year again, and applecare on the macbook is $60 cheaper...
I was also planing on purchasing a 1gig stick of ram + 19inch monitor for my 12inch 1.5ghz pb.. but i would also put that off for a year as well...
Thing is, the 12inch pb 1.5ghz was kind of a graduation present from my parents, and i am not exactly well of by any means so i really treasure it, take care of it like no other, and am really thankful that i was able to get it.
My orignal plan was to keep the 12inch powerbook untill i finish college (currently going to be a sophmore in the fall), and buy a new lappy once i'm done with school (kinda as a reward to myself, and the intel transition would be way beyond complete and worked out)..
So what you guys think? Keep PB (Not sure if parents would be upset, but i know i might be if i was a parent), or trade up for a macbook?
I know this was a long post, so thank you for reading!
