This transition to Intel is going to take a while to complete, and I expect software vendors to keep updating their PPC versions for the four years to come, probably more as in most cases it's not very hard to support both architectures.

Not sure if that affects your decision to buy or not, but figured I would throw it out there. One of the things that I am concerned about when I finally buy a Mac is losing all of my software.

A 64mb card would be plenty. PC ALL THE WAY!! You definitely don’t need a X600 if you’re not gaming. A 64mb card would be plenty.

Are iBooks so worst than Powerbooks? Oh, another question: is 12" a little <em>too</em> small? OK, now my mind is at:

PC: 30%
Mac: 70%

Now, what would be the best? 12″ Powerbook or 14″ iBook? Are iBooks so worst than Powerbooks?

Oh, another question: is 12″ a little too small?

I'm gonna buy it on friday, so if you've got last-time arguments to convince me not taking the PC instead of the mac, it's time to tell 'em folks :) Well, it seems that everyone forgot this post, so I’m going to tell you here anyway, I’m going for the PC, for various reasons.

Buy the mac. Otherwise you'll have to wait for the release of... well... something approaching Tiger on the PC. And then again, you'll have to pay for it. Get a real OS. Buy the mac.
