| Phil My point was that the PowerBook G4 is the right machine for me at this time. It's reduced depth and weight make it more convenient for me as a frequent traveler. I'll give you that the viao is narrower, but at least for me, width isn't a concern. In fact, because I work with spreadsheets all day long, some of which are extra wide, the 128 extra pixels and associated added width will be a plus for me. My new powerbook purchase totalled $2799 for a 400 MHz machine with a 20 gig HD and DVD. What could I get for $2799 if I were buying a slim and light PC? Do I get get a built in CD drive, let alone DVD? Do I get a monitor made for spreadsheets? Do I get 4-5 hours of real world battery life? And why do I need a port replicator when i have all my ports *built in*? |
