Since windows pisses me off almost once a month and I have to restore my whole system I'm definately looking for something else and I just had a first look at the powerbook and the new iMac and I think both are looking great and so do the specs.
My problem is that I never actually used a mac and over here in Europe you don't see them that much anyway. I have never seen a mac in a retailer that I know of and just looking at the price difference from US to Europe makes me going crazy...
the 17" powerbook is in the US store for $2799 and in the EU store it is for 2898 Euros which is around $3400. Come on, that is just ridiculous!
I'm happy with the perfomance of both my systems on the hardware level, the standalone is a 2000+ athlon xp and the thinkpad is a 1600 centrino but the OS which would be windows they are both running on just sucks...
I would love to try a mac but I'm not sure if I could do all with it that I do now with my windows system. Maybe I should try to find a retailer that has some and check it out. After that I would definately have to find a way to get around that european price, because that is just crappy
