Hi,

I have a dilemma and was hoping to be able to get some advice:

I currently have two xomputers and I must sell one due to financial issues -- I can only have one:

Here are the two systems:

iMac G5 1.8 (1st Gen.)
1.25 GB RAM
80 GB HD

and

Powerbook G4 1 Ghz (Aluminum)
Airport Extreme and Bluetooth
Backlit Keyboard
1.5 GB RAM

I like both tof the systems but I can only keep one -- I don't do much heavy lifting (except HD movie trailers -- which I can live without)

Which do you think I should keep?
iMac Core 2 Duo 20" 2.16 Ghz //1.5 GB RAM // 250 GB HD
Powerbook G4 1.25 Ghz // 1 GB RAM // 80 GB HD // Backlit Keyboard
iPod Video 30 GB / White

Honestly, if you want to be out and about . . go with the PowerBook . . . it's the convenience of being able to go to the coffeeshop or bookstore or even some parks these days and work in the fresh air . . .
