Aqua-Soft ForumsIn a couple of months i'm going to invest in an Apple Laptop, the problem is im not sure which one to get. I'm going to have about £800-£900 to spend thats about $1500-$1600. I've been considering the Macbook but i've also looked at refurbished Powerbook G4's from www.cancomuk.com . This Laptop will be used for homework and Video Editing for my media studies lessons. If anyone could reccomend which one i should go for this would be a great help.
Which Apple Laptop?
MacBooks are far faster than any G4 laptop
really, thanks that helps alot
Wait for a few more months to see what Apple does to fix the heating problems in the Macbooks. After that, buy a Macbook. Don't buy anything unless it's brand new!

Actually, buying refurbished at a later date is not a bad option, considering the product is analyzed and problems are (usually) fixed. My refurbed MBP is really nice and relatively cool with the latest updates.
Refurbished also comes with a standard 1 year warranty.
Definetly go with the Macbook. Much more power than a PB.

Well why the hell would you buy a g4 for video editing?
(and a lot is a lot of words)

I guess it's just my personal preference, I just don't like used/refurbished products. I guess I just don't the feeling of the "hand-me-down" situation.
