Default Ibook okay or is powerbook much better?

I am looking for a mac laptop mainly for playing MP3's - photo storage and for my Mbox. I live in Nigeria so the macbook pro is probably not a good idea as my protools LE is 6.7 is not compatable and I would have to go through the hassle of upgrading etc.

So is the powerbook much better than the ibook or will the ibook work just as well?

Thanks

Default Re: Ibook okay or is powerbook much better?

I'd hang fire if i was you. Theres talk of a new 13" widescreen iBook on the horizon powered by intel. No doubt it will probably be more powerful than the current powerPC PowerBooks. I personally think now is a real bad time to buy as a lot of hardware changes are taking place at apple. Theres nothing worse than spending a shed load on a computer then a new super duper better one coming out a few months later, thats pretty much whats happened to me with the release of the Macbook Pro. Given that the majority of my work is video editing...........the word GUTTED springs to mind.

Regards

PS: Any new notebook you buy now will come with tiger installed so Pro Tools 6.7 is gonna be a no goer before you start.
