I don't know if this is the right forum for asking your opinions, but I have a dilemma and I can't solve it. I own a Powerbook G4 and an iBook G3 and I need to get rid of one of them. I don't know which to keep for myself, so I want to ask the veterans here if they could help me make a decision.
Laptop 1:
15" 400 mhz Powerbook G4
512 RAM
10 GB Hard drive
DVD-ROM
Airport
Problem: Needs new battery, missing two keys on the keyboard, video blanks out sometimes until i move the screen**
Laptop 2:
12" 600 Mhz iBook G3
256 RAM
15 GB Hard drive
DVD/CDRW drive
Airport
Problem: Needs new battery
Which laptop should I keep? My primary use for the laptop is Video Chat, Voice chat, word processing, email, and internet browsing.
Both laptops come with all the original box, paperwork, restore discs, and ect. I just don't know which laptop is better to keep. The iBook is clean, wheras the Powerbook has a crack on the top corner. Both run perfectly and smoothly. I just don't know which runs faster nor which is a better keep. Both LCD's are clean with no problems. Any help would be nice. Any questions anyone else wants to ask to help clear things out, please ask. Thanks guys!

I think the G3 as it seems less busted.

pb is faster....but there is alot to be said for the hdd on the ibook and that it's issue is battery only. i would say ibook is a keeper in this case.

how come you must get rid of one? Well whatever the case may be. why not sell both and buy yourself something a little newer?
of the two i think i would choose the ibook though, less problems, and a cd burner.
good luck.

Agree with the above, sell them both and get a newer one, probably a refurb G4 iBook would be the best power for the money.

I have to sell one because I had too many Apple Laptops. I bought them all so as to have a collection, but now after the holidays, i have a lot of bills to pay off and I need the cash so I got rid of two iBooks already... and I just have these last two laptops.
