Hey guys. More than a month ago I was told by my local apple store that my powerbook was on its way. However due to continuous delays I am told it might arrive next week at the earliest. At this point I don't know if I can wait anymore. This purchase has been months in the making.
I am told that there is a 15" Combo Drive available and I am considering getting it instead.
One of the reasons why I opted for the SD model is the backlit keyboard which is a feature that I have always wanted in a laptop (for use when all the lights are off). I know I will also be loosing the DVD-RW capability and getting a lower capacity drive and memory (If ever, I will definitely pay for an additional 256MB or 512MB RAM with my savings).
But aside from these above mentioned items what else is the difference? Is there a compelling reason to get the SD over the Combo Drive model.
Will 1.33 GHz vs 1.5 GHz make a big difference?
Here are my common tasks and the programs I will be using.
1.) Webdesign (Dreamweaver)
2.) Graphic Design (Photoshop)
3.) Amateur Video Editing (Final Cut)
4.) Office Applications...lots of work on Word, Excel & Powerpoint
5.) Email & Internet
6.) Page Layout & Design (In Design)
7.) Music (I-Tunes)
Someone is also offering me a second hand 7-month old 17" that has been upgraded to 128MB Video Card and a 80GB 5400 RPM Drive for the price of a brand new 15" Superdive. Should that be an option?
Your input and suggestions highly appreciated.
