Which one do you like better?

its a toss up, heres the pros and cons of each

ibook g4- its lighter , the bottom has more grip on my lap , the airport signal is better the battery life is longer.

cons - its white, so it gets dirty easier. i keep great care of mine, but ive seen my friends get scratched up just from normal use . the screen isnt as crisp as the powerbooks.

powerbook g4- the screen is much more crisp, bigger hard drive, more ram, better looks , better to type with , backlit keyboard, i can use it with the lid closed...

cons - airport signal not as good, battery life not as good, i hear it dents easier ..

my conclusion, ill take the powerbook. The ibook is actually for sale, but i guess i havent been a member here long enough to sell it here ..

its a 14in 1.42ghz ibook g4, 512mb ram, 60gb hd, 8x superdrive, all accessories that it came with, i think its left my house just once . asking 1050 for it .

It's the best looking phone on the market (at least the US market). In terms of functionality, it's just average. I think everyone buys it because it looks so great, but then they are disappointed in the slow and terribly designed software. I like the phone though. I can make calls and it has bluetooth. That's all I need. :)

I would think that is carrier dependent. I LOVE Siemens phones, I think they have great quality (both build and functionality) and styling too. The new(er) S65 is pretty sweet....although the offerings in Europe still greatly outweigh what we have stateside sadly :(

It will always be that way, you just have to wait a few years and then you will have them with as many offerings in the US.

I love my black RazR!! Everybody is constantly talking about how terrible Motorola's interface is, and I like it! The phone is just so freakin' sexy, and it works awesomely* with my Powerbook!!
 
Hope you enjoy this guys.

My new PowerMac Dual Core 2.3ghz, 1.5gb RAM with my half year old 20-inch ACD. Also, dont forget the Harmon/Kardon Soundsticks II :)

My PowerMac is already two weeks old, but I decided to hold off until my new kick-ass desk arrives before taking more photos for you guys!

Keep the beautiful setups coming!

Little update from my last post haha, I got my clamshell that I bought here (Thanks iZach). Here's it next to my iBook G4 1.33Ghz 12". Specs of both are in my signature. Posting this from the clamshell. :)

I have to say i'm quite impressed


I don't like my desk and my old digitak camera works with OS9(got rid of Classic)

BUt if i get Lots of $$ From Xmax perhaps i'll get a laptop and it would be worth of using the camera with my PC and take a pic of the Mac(s) and iPods
 
I have my old setup some where in this thread, but its been updated. I finally go my graduation present, a new desk.

Here it is.

You know what'd be funny. If someone said, where's the computer and it was your iPod that was your computer. Instead of having a Mac Mini all you'd have to have is an iPod and a Monitor with built-in video card. - World's smallest computer. Runs at 2GHz, has 60GB portable music/video/photo hard drive, and uses a monitor that has built-in video card.

Fancy. Nice new desk.

Thanks!

I really had a hard time finding something i liked. I wanted something kinda classic looking, and something with a nice big surface.
