Powerbook Versus This!

[übermac®™]

I just wanted to get your guys thoughts on this notebook vs the PowerBook. Bluetooth and even more options are scheduled to be added to this notebook before the PowerBook has bluetooth.

Now really, I have to go with what is best, and Apple is not it! And I can get it for a mere $1895 and sometimes less! (I know you are going to mention weight: 12lbs, but really are you a little girlyman who can't lift 12 lbs? And battery life: ~3-4 hours. But Powebooks only get marginally better life if not worse.)

It's too big, too ugly and does not run Mac OS X. It's also using a DESKTOP version of the P4 processor, so its battery probably won't last long enough to, say, boot?

Speeking as an ex-Sager owner you really should think twice about that. I had one for all fo 2 days before I sent it back. Mine ahd a super cheap frame and when you picked it up or typed it flexed like crazy.

Not to mention that they traditionally have used desktop chips and not notebook chips. That will make a difference after is burns through the flesh on your leg

If it makes you feel like you are putting one over on all us Mac owners go get it. But just don't say I didn't warn ya.

like i said in another thread, if you are so unhappy with apple, just go get a pc already, use it, be happy with it, move on lol

no one is forcing you to use either platform, in this day, its absolutely wonderful that you can do most things on either, so go for it!

its not that hard

PC-based notebooks that use the desktop version of the Pentium4 are junk, so says Sony, and Intel.

All I have to say is, don't go posting in a Mac forum if you dislike Macs, for retribution is sure to follow.

Well i have to agree about the heat problems. Also it looks very cheap and plastic. It all depends on what you want to do really.

I will stick with my pb for now, until the new model comes out of course.

Let us know what you want to do and we might be more realistic!!!!

Wow I hope you really enjoy that giant piece of crap. It costs less because it's crap. It looks ugly. It'll burn you, probably melt itself lol. And it's not a Mac. Have fun with Windows. Really. I don't think you deserve your nickname.
