Now I don't know which one to get. I love my ibook G3, but I was looking to buy a tower with a nice superdrive.

But I think I might be able to live without the internal DVD-R and get the ibook now.

Dont' know .

Keep your iBook and buy a G4 tower.

I would, but right now i can't afford that. It's one or the other.

So if you had to pick one, pick one.

Well, it depends on whether you really need portability. If you don't, then get the tower. It'll most likely outlast any laptop.

If you already have a desktop it's good to get a subnotebook.

If you don't have a desktop then it's best to get the best laptop out there, as it will have to take the place of a desktop.

If have no real need for a laptop, then it's best to get a desktop as you can always add stuff to it and keep it up-to-date.
