New Powerbook vs. iBook

I am going to buy a laptop but I can't decide which one to get. I am probably going to get the new 12" Powerbook but am also thinking about the 12" iBook. Any owners of either please give advise on what to get.
Thanks in advance,
-Bob

I'm not sure if I'm going to add anything new that hasn't already been said here already, but I agree that it comes down to what you're going to use the laptop for and which one feels more comfortable to use.
Personally, I chose my 12-inch PB because of its size, its aluminum case, faster CPU and graphics processor (at the time), and keyboard.
In my job, I use MS Word a lot and send tons of e-mail. It was crucial that I had a nice keyboard. I tested both the PB and iBook and the PB's better keyboard sealed the deal. I had read that the PB's keyboard is one of the best for all laptops -- PC or Apple -- and I concur. The iBook felt cheap and didn't provide the feedback that I wanted.
And then there's the "cool" factor. I must admit the PB looks much cooler than the iBook... I still get looks when I pull the PB out of my bag while everyone else has a generic, black Dell laptop in front of them.
But these are my personal preferences. The iBook is a solid choice, too, and I have friends who love their iBooks. Again, it comes down to personal preference.
Go to an Apple Store or reseller and try both of them out. And then compare their features. For instance, do you need DVI outputs? Larger hard drive? Is the CPU and graphics processor fast enough for your needs?
For the money, you can still get a 14-inch iBook and still save a few bucks over a 12-inch PB.
Good luck!

  • Help me pick a new powerbook/ibook

    I got the go ahead from my boss to pick out a new laptop (the ibook G3 12.1 800 is broken and oudated.) I know this is subjective but wanted some thoughts on what's important to have and what's not. I'm trying to keep it around $1200-1400
    Some things I'm considering
    1) really want a superdrive
    2) With most specs being equal, is it that great advantage to get a powerbook over an ibook?
    3) I've grown accustomed to 12 inch screen, but wouldn't a 15 be really nice? (I do all my computing on this screen)
    4) Is the backlit keyboard that big of a deal?
    5) Bundled software is not that important
    6) What do you think about buying apple-refurbished and or slightly discounted models?
    7) Any other suggestions in your experience, like, 'I wish I would've got this' or I paid more for this but didn't really use it, etc.
    On this computer I will do some simple web design, word processing and brochures for my company, some but not a lot of video editing, and other general tasks. Thanks All

    Hi Bruce,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I can't tell you whether you should pick a iBook or not, but I can give you some of the facts. First of all, your price range ($1200 - $1400) is less then the cheapest Powerbook (new).
    1) really want a superdrive
    Well, for $1300 you can get the 14" 1.42Ghz iBook. The only thing I don't like about the 14" is that some people notice that the resolution isn't as good as the 12". Its very minute, but both models have the same pixels even though they have different screen sizes. It comes with a SuperDrive like you want and it has 60Gb hard drive, which should last some time.
    ith most specs being equal, is it that great advantage to get a powerbook over an ibook?
    I find that the 12" Powerbook is not that big of a step up from the 14" iBook, so I don't usually suggest it. I would get the 15" if I were to get a Powerbook. Anyways, the real differences is that it has a better display, better video and graphics support, FireWire 800, PC Slot, better SuperDrive, and a faster processor. Basically the display will be much clearer and the resolution is higher. The Powerbook lets you hook up external monitors like the Cinema Display without any "hacks". FireWire 800 transfers information at 800Mbs rather then FireWire 400 at 400Mbs (USB 2.0 has 480Mbs). The problem with FireWire 800 is that its not as common and the products are more expensive. The SuperDrive has the DL (Double Layer) feature.
    I've grown accustomed to 12 inch screen, but wouldn't a 15 be really nice? (I do all my computing on this screen)
    The 15" I think is a whole lot better if you are big into graphics and like to have multiple applications/windows open (don't forget watching movies too). The only problem to is that the 15" looses its portability feature depending on if size matters. A 15" is going to have bigger case and it is going to take up more room, for some people that is a negative.
    Is the backlit keyboard that big of a deal?
    I like the backlit keyboard because it is easier to see those buttons that one isn't used to typing when they are in the dark. It is hard to differentiate between F2 and F3 or F5 in the dark. I believe this also might make the battery loose its charge faster but I don't know.
    Any other suggestions in your experience, like, 'I wish I would've got this' or I paid more for this but didn't really use it, etc.
    I am big into media editing, programming, and things of that nature, which need a faster computer. I bought the iBook G3 1.33Ghz for school and for traveling. It has served me well for those purposes, but it is time for an upgrade. I am giving this to my dad so when he's traveling or sitting in bed he can go online to check his email and do his work. I suggest buying an external hard drive that is at least as big as the one that you buy in your computer. It is a good idea to back your computer up periodically. I have too many photos to fit on my 40Gb hard drive, so I put my iPhoto 6 Library on my SmartDisk CrossFire 160Gb. I also would recommend buying a Apple Wireless Mouse because it is so better then using the track pad. The only negative is that it doesn't have a scroll wheel.
    I can't tell you which to buy, but you should think about what you are going to use your computer for now and in the future. If you are not going to use many "pro" applications (Aperture) then I don't personally see the need for a Powerbook. It really depends on how you think you are going to use it and your budget.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon

    I've had 4 15's - all had the lines problem. Every 15" machine I've seen in an Apple Store has had it - the latest was last week. All 4 post Oct 05 15's and 2 Post Oct 05 17's that I've had have had the sound looping - including the machine I currently have.
    I was actually prepared to live with the lines on the 15 - I was still impressed with the overall resolution and brightness, but then another, unrelated problem meant it had to be returned. I switched to the 17 and immediately noticed the "lineless" improvement.
    Not everyone is bothered by the lines, believes they have them or cares if they do. Some people don't notice or mind, others swear that the lines are giving them headaches. As someone who was willing to put up with the lines while Apple worked out what to do about them, I can say that I saw them pretty clearly. They made things look like they had "texture" when they shouldn't have.
    Seems to me that the debate over whether there are or are not lines has been played out in other posts. My advice which appears to have started all this is that there are issues (and it's an undeniable fact that there are for some people) and if considering a post Oct 05 15" it might be a good idea to take a look first. Doesn't seem to unreasonable to me and a bit more sensible than - "don't worry, they're all fine" or "don't do it everyone sees lines and hates them" - I'm not saying that anyone here is saying that, but can't we agree that a sufficient number of people have raised the point that a new user might be well advised to take a look at a machine before shelling out the $$$.
    There are 2 tests for lines that I think work.
    1) The first is to press F11 and look to see if there are any faint lines in the shadow at the top.
    2) http://www.cameraid.com/art/quadrants.gif
    The top two boxes should be the same shade as each other, and the bottom two should be the same shade as each other also. They are on this 17, they were on another 17, they were not on the 15's I had.
    Anyway, I hope nobody minds the post, just trying to be constructive and helpful to the original poster, who at the end of the day will be the person who lives with his/her choice.
    Best of luck.

  • Migrating from older macs to a new powerbook G4

    I've got one of the new powerbooks ordered and on the way, and I'm very excited about it -- improved resolution, all that screen space, tons of RAM, 1.67 mghz -- YAHOO.
    But I'm also dreading the moving part. Right now I've got a desktop G4 desktop imac and a G4 ibook as well. I'll be selling both of these, after everything has been transferred off of them onto the new machine.
    Does anybody know of a to-do list for this kind of migration? Fonts, keychains, preferences, not to mention applications and documents... I'm worried I'm going to do something in the wrong order or forget something.
    Any hints or links much appreciated.

    All new Macs sold include the Migration Assistant, which can transfer over most of your data from an older Mac to a newer Mac. If the fonts aren't transferred over automatically, you can put either machine in FireWire Target Disk mode by holding down the T key at startup, and then drag them to the folder /Library/Fonts/ on the PowerBook's hard disk to migrate them.

  • My experience with Tiger/new Powerbook 15", 1.67 ghz

    Apple proclaims "Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger. The world’s most advanced operating system."
    Well, that hasn't been the case in my experience.
    I bought a new 15 Powerbook HR, 1.67 ghz, 1.5 gb ram, 80gb hd on 11/4/05 (from MacMall). At this point I have about 20gb free.
    Problems I have noticed with it/OSX.(Most have been fixed by an archive and install done a few weeks ago.) Here's my trial by fire.
    In chronological order
    - trackpad lags
    - many icons not correct after using Migration Assistant.
    - some icons open up the wrong applications
    - window resize button on Finder, and some app windows, doesn't open window to full screen. Also doesn't open window so that scroll bars disappear.
    - dragging a file up or down a window in list view doesn't always make the window scroll up or down when I go up or down to the top or bottom edges. When they do move, it races. Smooth scrolling has no effect.
    - CDr recorded on a machine with OSX 10.3.9 shows up as a recordable CD!
    - screen dims when I disconnect power supply
    -Network option from the Go menu does nothing.
    - Doing a Get Info on a html file has Internet Explorer as the app to open when the files have Mozilla icons
    - icon for some apps have wrong application logo on them
    - screen dims and brightens rapidly, disconcertingly in low light. I turn off the ambient light adjustment on the monitors control panel. This is poorly implemented. Having the keys light up is nice though.
    - can't reset F7 key to take pictures of screen. (I eventually am able to do it.)
    - the clicker gives me a sharp pain in my arm from the second day of use. This has gotten better now but I was worried I might be getting carpal tunnel/repetitive stress injury. (This happened when I got my new Powerbook Firewire too, eventually going away.) The clickers are too stiff when new.
    - I call Applecare. They don't have my registration information I gave them when I signed up on the web. We reset the Power Manger.
    - Quicktime movies have no sound. I later throw out the LAME stuff (Component and Framework) and get sound back.
    - I go to Genius at Apple Store. They tell me I am using a non-native resolution, that is why I am having screen dimming. (Wrong. It was the ambient light control.) They also say whatever software I have installed is likely to be causing most of the other problems.
    - I get Finder freeze #1
    - Preview does not animate gifs. It did with 10.3.9.
    -System sounds do not work. Upon reboot they do. Flakey.
    - some finder windows are not opening up with the item count in list view.
    -desktop gets rearranged
    -occasionally keyboard turns letters into numbers as if number lock is on. It isn't. The it will stop working altogether. Rebooting cures this. (Happens twice before I call AppleCare.)
    - call AppleCare. They have my old address when I bought the Powerbook! I get registered again.I cannot install GarageBand, which I threw out thinking I didn't need it, because the install DVDs that came with my machine have an error reading the software only package. They will send me a new install disk #1.
    - scrolling is not smooth, races.
    - I notice the memory door has 3 out of the 4 screws loose. I tighten them. The battery door feels a little loose too but that is unfixable.
    - keyboard doesn't respond #3
    - I call AppleCare. They have the wrong address still in their database!
    -eject DVD does not work. (It works all other times.)
    - system freeze #2
    - kernal panic #1
    - Call AppleCare. My TechTool Deluxe CD will not boot. I ask for a replacement. (I can't believe they are still using TechTool Deluxe. I remember what a hassle it was trying to get a working disc with my Powerbook Firewire.
    - keyboard types wrong characters #4
    -Print preview does not work. (it does all other times.)
    -Preference for video capture program (BTV) is not remembered
    - audio is only heard when BTV is running (since fixed.)
    - system freeze #3
    - keyboard stops working #5
    - I call Apple Care. We zap P-ram 3X.
    - file sizes incorrect in list view. Have to open window a second time to get correct info.
    - install DVD #1 arrives. It is defective.
    - system freeze #4
    - I update to 10.4.4. I hope this will cure the problems. Nope.
    - Help doesn't work.
    - Battery firmware update process works but isn't smooth. It crashes "unexpectedly" as I check to make sure it is really done. (It kept telling me I needed to do it.)
    - Help works.
    - boot takes forever after 10.4.4 update.
    - battery firmware update wants to run again.
    - file size is wrong in finder list view windows.
    - keyboard stops working #6
    - fan stops yet processor is still VERY busy as I am calibrating battery. Charge is about 5%.
    - I quit IMovie, It then says it quit "unexpectedly". (This happens with other apps still.)
    - I have to use power key to wake it from sleep, as I calibrate battery.
    - keyboard problem #7
    - system freeze # 5
    - text editing in iDVD is very buggy. Cursor is impossible to see against background with many themes. There is no way to increase cursor size.
    - AppleCare says they have sent TechTool Deluxe CD. I haven't gotten it yet.
    - I receive install disk #1. 2 actually. I install software bundle only. It works! I also reinstall CPU help files. Help still doesn't work.
    - I archive and install. (It installs 10.4.2 so I update to 10.4.4), Help doesn't work.
    - Help works without my having done anything. OK.
    - I repair a gazillion permissions. (funny how when you install the system software the permissions then need to be repaired. You would think the system would know to set the permissions correctly upon installation.
    - I notice the order of the right hand menu items has changed (clock, keyboard setup, OS 9 icon...)
    - file sizes wrong in list view
    - BTV has audio loop at times. (See thread on Topic "New Powerbook Audio Stutter / Looping / Echo problem in Using your PowerBook G4 15-inch Aluminum forum.)
    - keyboard problem #8
    - keyboard problem #9
    - I call AppleCare. TechTool Deluxe CD has still not arrived. We discuss other problems. I get hung up on.
    -keyboard problem #10
    - I go to Apple Store. Talk to the genius. He tells me the system software is "a house of cards", adding other software can cause unpredictable results. He zaps P-ram 3x, does something in open firmware. Recommends a clean install. I think about it and later decide not to.
    - I lose system sounds after I install USBVison video capture driver for Tiger. I eventually get it back.
    - I repair LOTS of permissions.
    - The fan starts to make bad noise.
    - system freeze $6
    - I do a Get Info on a file I making with BTV. The OS tells me it is 11GB. I stop the recording and then I check again. It says it is 1.5 gb.
    -iChat won't open. It starts, according to Activity Monitor, runs for about two seconds and then disappears.
    - Network, under the Go menu, does nothing.
    - I call AppleCare.
    - I notice cursor disappears in Firefox.
    - Yahoo IM icon keeps getting moved. All the icons it is next to are spaced about the same but this one keeps getting moved.
    - I Stuff some stuff. The fan keeps running, it is still hot after I am finished. I have to reboot to get things back to normal.
    - Some icons for PING files on my desktop have changed from having Preview icons to Quicktime icons. I use Get Info to change them back from Picture Viewer (OS 9!)
    - the fan comes on with only my normal apps running (Eudora, Firefox, Yahoo IM)
    Ok, that is about all up 'til now. I still haven't gotten my TechTool Deluxe CD but need to give that a few more days. I now have 8 install DVDs. (Another install #1 came yesterday, making a total of 6 #1, and 2 #2s) The address on the invoices are finally correct, most had the wrong town but the right zip code which I had corrected many times.
    The problems that are still recurring are the keyboard problem, applications still sometimes crash "unexpectedly" even though I am quitting them, the file sizes are not right the first time around in finder list view windows. Most everything else was cured by the archive and install. Little weirdnesses still crop up though. I am not sure if the echo problem has been fixed. (Mac OS) Help is still slow to appear.
    Thanks for bearing with me. I do hope things get smoother in the future. I have been using Macs for about 10 years now, starting with a used SE and 7.something, going to a refurbished LC 580 and 7.5.5, a new Powerbook Firewire and 9.2.2. I have also used 10.3.9 which seemed to be a lot more stable than 10.4.
    Cheers,

    If it was me I would backup to DVD/ External HD if you have and erase / reinstall OSX.
    Update all and once you are finished without the user folder / any of your files on torture the Pbook to see if this happens again.
    This likely will be able to give you an idea about hardware or software problems.
    If all is well , likely not then copy "COPY" over from the backup you "ONLY COPY" documents, music, Photo's, desktop stuff and also place programs back in Applications folder.
    The reason for the above is that in the /user/"you"/library folder it stores the settings for Icon's, prefferences to programs and some other useless stuff + E-mails for either Mac Mail and or Microrubish Entorture "entourage" depending on what you have or used also Itunes prefs.
    Once this is copied leave the "/user/you/library" stuff alone and see how it runs.
    App's/programs will ask to have it's preferences set again as if /when you have installed it for the first time.
    Likely most of the issues if software was in the/becuase of the settings in "/user/you/library".
    If this solves a lot of problems the go with care and copy the "E-MAIL +/OR ENTORUTE/ENTOURAGE + ITUNES" to the same place as where they came from but obviously in /user/you/library/ subfolders etc. same subfolders.
    For Entorture search for a file called "database" as this holds all the e-mail for entourage and by copying it, when you next open Entorture it will pick-up all emails + adresses etc like it was never moved also in the same spot as it was in the new instalation / subfolders etc..
    If all this fails and you as close to what I reccomended here, there is then still some issues then likely it is hardware related.
    How do I know this : Had for 5 times in 365 days had my Pbook in for repair so I have had to about 120+ times had to reinstall OSX 10.3.9 and/or Tiger.
    I hope this helps as for hardware I am buying Alienware or Extreme as they can upgrade the cpuvideobasically all else except the motherboard " amd opteron 64 dualcore + Nvidia fx quadro 1400 + 1 or 2 hd's + 1/2 dvd's etc. etc. $2500"

  • PDF files to create a new book in iBooks Author

    Is it wise to use ready PDF files to create a new book in iBooks Author?
    I have a music book with lot's of images that whas previously published as a physical book. I have it all as ready PDF files with illustrations.
    Should I copy paste all texts and images seperately into iBooks Author or could I just drag the complete PDF's into the iBooks program.
    Thanks!

    To drag a page's contents means selecting just that page, which is just copy/paste with the result being an image.
    Dragging a PDF into an iBA book means dragging the entire file, which is not the same as selective copy/paste and as noted, results in just an image.
    It is possible to just do text /andor just do images, but success can depend on certain attributes they possess, etc. You need to select specific assets, then paste them in, then rework as needed.
    PDF-to-iBA isn't neat - formatting, fonts, etc. will be lost. Find the original content that the PDF came from and try to work with it, instead - that will be much cleaner and require less rework, I think.

  • Why does AIM "unexpectedly quit" with the new Powerbook G4.

    Before I confuse anyone, I am speaking of AIM (AOL Instant Messenger for Mac), not iChat. This is the most relevant discussion category I can find to ask this question.
    But anyways, I just got a new Powerbook G4 12inch model with Super-drive and installed the most recent version of AIM 4.7. When using this program, it will frequently and randomly quit on me. A window will pop up saying that the program had "unexpectedly quit". This is quite frustrating because I have been a Mac user on AIM for more than a decade. I should also point out that I also have another friend who got the exact same Powerbook G4 model that I have at the same time (about a week ago) and she is also having the exact same problem with her PowerBook. So I believe there is a good possibility that this problem isn't a defect in my computer's software alone, but also in all the other new PowerBook G4s out there (at least the 12inch superdrive models). Anybody experiencing the same thing or have a solution?

    Are you using AIM as your chat interface or iChat? You don't need to use the AIM client software in order to conduct a chat with an AIM account user, you just need an AIM screen name to access their host.
    I removed the AIM client software from my system as soon as I realized that iChat doesn't use the AIM client software to function. I've never used the AIM client software to conduct a chat, just iChat. If it is just the AIM client that is crashing, you should be able to circumvent that by not launching the AIM client, but just iChat. Since I never actively ran the AIM client, I can't say how stable it is. iChat seems rock solid so far.

The unit came with imovie disks and I can use them. The disks look perfectly good no scratches but they just don't work, I was hoping I could just get a online copy of the address book to replace the one that seems to be missing. Or find it somewhere on my drive. Have no clue where to look though. 

  • The book "" was not copied to the iPad because it requires a newer version of ibooks

    Hi - i've been working on a textbook in iboos author for a week and have been using preview as well as the "file / Export" function to copy the book to my ipad 3. Now all of a sudden, I am getting this strange "..requires a newer version of ibooks" error. I have not done any updates to either ibooks author or ibooks on my ipad. The book also won't copy to my older ipads which also worked fine before. I've reinstalled ibooks and ibooks author on all devices, but am still gettting this error. Even when i go and create a new book from scratch using the template picker and just save a fresh new file, I am getting the same error.
    Has anyone had this problem as well ?
    Thanks for any suggestions
    Marc

    thye chean - i've already uninstalled and reisntalled ibooks author version 1.1 (190) and I am still getting the same error message.

  • Is there a way to reorder or introduce new pages in iBooks Author, without creating a new IBook?

    Is there a way to reorder or introduce new pages in iBooks Author, without creating a new IBook? Is this possible?

    The main thing is...you have a way to move forward with your project.
    If I may offer some tips, learn to customise the template to suit your project...its basically very easy..once you try.Again a search will bring up posts that address this topic.
    IF you do create your own template..save it as a template before using it, that way you have a clean version every time.
    When putting your book together save versions as you go along..later you can delete them.
    If, as .. you seem to have found, you need to change things or want to try other options, you can copy whole chapters or sections and paste in a new order or  into another version of your template. If you copy into a different template or book, the template basic also transfer to the template. Best way to discover what can be done is simply open a new book to play with! Add a few chapters and sections...include some pages..and just drag things around, copy and paste where you choose. Its just learning and after you delete the junk!..BTW, yes, you can have single pages before the first chapter...i.e. I open a copyright page into a chapter...that drag it to the top of the book tree, a blue line will appear ..drop it.

  • I opened a new book in iBooks and my toolbar to get back to the library disappeared

    I opened a new book in iBooks and the toolbar to get back to the library has disappeared!

    With the pdf still open - tap on LIBRARY in the upper left corner. You may have to tap on the body of the pdf itself to get the option to come up on the iPad screen.

  • New PowerBook G4?

    Just bought a new 12" PowerBook G4 60 days ago.
    Is there yet a newer PowerBook? If so, why would they not mention a new version coming out? It took me 3 of these PowerBooks to get one that was not defective. If there is a better version, I would like it.

    "Is there yet a newer PowerBook?"
    Yes
    "If so, why would they not mention a new version coming out?"
    Because Apple does not discuss unannounce product releases.
    "If there is a better version, I would like it."
    Well then you have to buy it, as your 30-day return policy has expired.

  • Having trouble adding new collection in ibooks?

    Hi
    I am having trouble a adding a new collection in ibooks.  When I click on "+New Collection" it disappears and the keyboard does not pop up and then seems to freeze.  It was working fine yesterday and only encountered this problem this morning.
    Has anyone else had this problem or know how I go about fixing it?
    Thank you!

    The problem is not thru TWC... I can access my account in Outlook and also by Webmail.
    The problem is on the Iphone 4 (I had no problem on my 3G). Like I said, the settings I have entered are the same as the settings for the other 4 accounts. The only portion of the setup that I cannot access during the "failed" setup is the "Advanced" where I can turn SSL off and confirm password authentication.

  • Can I wipe out newer OS on ibook G4 and restore with OS 9 or 8 or even 7 so that I can run the hundreds of Educational CDs we still have at our school? We do not need to go online or be wireless or install any newer programs.

    Look on the outside of the case to see if it has a port with a symbol similar to a Y, or compare its specifications against those of the first two computers on this list.

  • New powerbook - airport extreme does not connect after Tiger update

    Hi guys,
    I see a lot of people are having problems with airport right now. I just got a new powerbook that worked fine with Panther, went online without a hitch. I downloaded a couple of software updates but don't know which. Then I installed the Tiger software and since then the computer does not connect. It show a wifi signal but tells me it can't connect etc.
    Any ideas,
    Thanks
