    TiBook or IceBook?

    I need advice whether to get a top model iBook or a top model TiBook. The price isn't the issue, the problem is I love the look and size of the iBook (not that I don't like the look of the TiBook either) haha.

    I do a lot of Photoshop stuff, so I know that the TiBook is probably the best way to go... I should wait for a new model, right?

    I will go and have a look at them today after school when I go to the AppleCentre to organise some work experience. (Hehe yay, I get to work in an apple store for a week *grins*)

    If money is no real issue, and you're doing PhotoShop work, the TiBook is the best choice. You'll appreciate the extra performance and bigger screen even if it means a bigger form-factor.

    On the other hand, for BBenve, if you want a slick and very portable mchine which does everything and does it pretty well, the iBook is great.

    Scrap that, he didn't bring it home from work haah..

    Anyway, I can use a normal VGA monitor with my TiBook (if I choose that) as an extended desktop (i.e. MSN windows, and photoshop palettes when I'm working), right? I don't want to have to spend $2000 for a 17" LCD now that Apple have cut the 15er :P

    AAALSO, on that note (I know, naughty, 3 posts in a row *slaps himself on the wrist), does anyone know of a way to use USB or FireWire to somehow connect my LCD iMac to the PowerBook to use as a second monitor? I just would like to use two LCDs without having to pay for a new one.
