Switcher! Well kinda!

The iBook 12" is an awesome little machine. I have the old G3-500, which was the first one in the current body-shape released back in 2001. We take it with us when we're on holidays, and it serves well to let us download the camera into iPhoto, check email, do our banking and even play DVDs. Your one should be nice and snappy, and will perform beautifully in PhotoShop. They are just the *perfect* size, too, light and easy to carry. You're probably wise to buy now, since I don't know how much longer we'll be seeing 12" laptops.

As for games, don't be too dismissive. My iMac G5's games folder contains more than 80 titles, including all of the Quake, Doom and Unreal series. I've got over 10 copnsole emulators, lots of strategy and puzzle games, and I even have a few Microsoft titles in there. ;-)

You'll soon find that owning a Mac is very different to owning a PC, especially the buying/upgrading pattern. With a PC, you spend quite a lot on new hardware and upgrades over the years. With a Mac, you simply buy a new one every 2-3 years, alternating between a laptop and a desktop, so that in a few years you'll have a few good desktop macs and a couple of good laptop macs, all being used every day, while a PC owner will have spent the same amount to keep one computer up-to-date and will have a big pile of unwanted components sitting in boxes.

Also, you'll find you spend a lot less time hunting for drivers and patches. From now on, just tell yourself "Drivers? Thats Apple's job." and let Software Update do the work.
