[help] ibook g4

hey

at the moment i'm at college in the uk doing a graphic design course and the macs that they provide us are to be honest really poor.

so i was thinking about saving up n buying an ibook for photoshop work and other bits too

which would be better for what i need the ibook 12" or the 14" and where is the best place to buy from ?

Either you misread, or the post you read was misinformed. MacBook Pro shipments are delayed because of a lack of Core Duo supplies. The MacBook Pro's design itself was not influenced by a lack of said CPUs.

Geonotic, if you're taking a course in graphic design, why would you restrain yourself to an iBook? I imagine that 1024x768 is hardly the ideal resolution for what you'd want to do with it. Get the MacBook, or a 17'' PowerBook, or deal with what you've been given until better products are available.

Please refrain from posting discussions about the iBook G4 in the Apple Software forum. :P

I would wait for a 13.3" anything.. That is the optimal size

Yeah, I read the same story before. It's completely uncredible, even MacRumors says the source is unknown and is therefore in question. They're just throwing the story out to cover all their bases.

the iBook will not help you to much for graphic design

You may consider have the combo iMac 17+iBook12 since it will cost you around the same as a Macbook pro. Sites like amazon offers ibooks way to cheap than apple store.
