Hi,

I am thinking of getting a new notebook and is seriously considering the powerbook.

My question is that whether the asking price of >rm9k worth it for a notebook. Heard that it can run dual OS which is why I am seriously considering it. How stable is it coz running Leopard and Vista together is really cool and will help me a lot. Can it run all the windows program smoothly as in a PC?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Added on December 19, 2007, 3:12 pmSince I sometimes do graphic stuff and was considering the macbook pro and since now can run dual os so much the better......but can it run all the windows prog?

well, you just ask yourself this simple question.
"Do you play games (those high end games  brows.gif )? or Do you need those extra vram?"

If you don't, then just choose the lower end version. Save few thousand and use few hundred to max up the ram wink.gif

That's another conderation since I do play games and its one of the reason why I'm goin for MBP as the graphic card is quite good. I have got my console for games most of the time, its more towards when I am travelling.

I dont do heavy CGI but use mostly stuff like Vector Works (ie drawing prog).

As for size, not really matter but the 17' is really a bit too big coz my current laptop is 15' and as for weight, i thing my current one is heavier.

I am not into serious shooter gaming kind but more of the Warcraft type gaming.

Just ask yourself if you would be gutted if a new MBP comes out next month. It is as simple as that. If you think that you already got an awesome machine and can't be bother if there is a new one coming. Go ahead, by all means.

I agree with you....the waiting game never ends. Anyway as long as i'll last me for the next 3-4 years or better 5 years then I am content.
