you're bummed? I have an even worse problem... I don't know which one to pick!
I am looking to replace my desktop x86 machine with a mac laptop (since beos died, there is no reason to stay on x86)
I can't decide between the highend iBook, which has the combo drive and a resolution very close to that of the TiBook, or the TiBook, which has a 67mhz faster chip which is also G4. I really want the TiBook, because i do a lot of photoshop, and hope to stay in OS X pretty much all the time. But i need a combo-drive, because i use both dvd and cd-rw a lot. If i was forced to pick, i would choose cd-rw, but I want dvd on it, and don't see myself buying an external dvd drive. :-/
I read someone say that external cd-rw is better cause you can burn the mini cd-rs and such.. but its a laptop, and who the hell wants to carry external /anything/ with it?
ARGHH!!!!
What are the odds of apple adding an optional combo drive to the TiBook mix anytime soon?
--Edit--
Yet another question: both the iBook and TiBook can power external displays right? What resolution can they power them to? Presumably higher than 1024x768, correct? Can they power an apple flatscreen? or do i need to keep an old crappy x86 monitor around?
