My wife just bought one of the last pre-Intel 17" Powerbooks. Yes, it is big, but the screen is beautiful! Works great, and is a great introduction to the world outside our Window(s).

They are very good ...we (NaimUSA) are Mac users for business and pleasure, and it doesn't hurt to have a windows boot option on the same machine either!

I've had a 17" G4 Powerbook in the past and am presently using 15" Macbook Pro. Excellent "sexy" machines. Also have G5 Inac in the office and Intel Mac Mini used as Media Player. Why do people buy PCs?

To rum Amiga OS, of course, I can't think of any other reason.

In some cases it's because Macs are too expensive, in some cases it's because they aren't aware of the Mac option, in some cases it's because the Mac doesn't support the software they need, and in some cases it's because they don't like the look and feel of the Mac OS.
In some cases it's a combination of several of the above - which is the category I fall into.

I saw a comparison of a G4 and a PC at the same price point on a TV show a couple of years back. The PC outperformed the Mac in most categories, including photo manipulation and audio processing, traditional Mac territory!
I was pretty surprised at that. I'd be interested in a similar comparison now, especially with the Intel-powered Mac...
