I don't know what you plan to do with your laptop, but if it's going to be internet, word processing, video, burning cd's, etc. The iBook would be perfect. Don't let the numbers fool you, if you stick 512MB of ram in it, it will run plenty fast. A 1Ghz G4 would most likely out do a 2Ghz P4/XP
If you will be doing all of the above with gaming, you should go Power Book. Yes, they are expensive. But as soon as you operate or use one, you'll understand why.
If you're set on Windows XP, Dell, Toshiba, and Gateway have great laptops. I'm still using my old Dell Inspiron 4000 to this day. |
I appreciate your response but I just don't like Apple notebooks. I really don't know why, myself, but I borrowed my friend's iBook and I just didn't like it all that much compared to the Windows Laptops. It has nothing to do with the performance or anything, I just don't like them. I mean it is like Intel and AMD. Most times you either like 1 or the other.
So from what I've read from everyones response, I should go with the Dell, am I correct? Well sorry for being a pain but this is a big investment so let me ask, what is wrong with Alienware?
BTW I have narrowed down my desicions a little better.
Dell Inspiron 5150 (customized to my needs)
Dell Inspiron 8600 (customized to my needs)
Alienware Sentia Performance (customized to my needs)
