I have a Compaq Presario R3000
it has a
AMD 64
60GB Hardrive
512mb
DVD+-RW/CD+-RW
nVidia
15.4" widescreen
and all that good stuff its a great laptop and i have not had any problems.
I am going to be getting the $999 ibook from incentiverewardscenter tomorrow and i cannot decide wether to keep it and have two laptops. I really do want to use a mac and have always wanted one but i could also really use the money. What do you guys think?

Keep the iBook and sell your other one. Macs own.

once you go mac, you never go back.

I would sell one of them. Sounds like a good pc laptop, so i would sell the ibook. Then, later when you need another computer, decide if you want to switch to a mac.

Macs won't ever give you problems. STAY WITH THE MAC!

Maybe sell it, and use the money to upgrade your notebook, or get some cool accessories for it? I don't know, but I voted for you to sell it. )

my delema is that my pc is really good as far as pc's go and that the iBook is the low end in the mac laptops like for example i burn a lot of dvds but the iBook is just a CD+-RW. I dont know i just cant decide.

Then do this. Sell both laptops and buy a Powerbook. You will not only have money left over but the most kickass laptop ever. Problem solved.

I knew i was gonna sell the ibook from the moment i clicked on the incentiverewardcenter link. The problem is they dont sell as well as i hoped they would on ebay (only about 700-800$ if you're lucky) Im gonna try and do a return at best buy since i hear they accept returns without recipts during the holidays......

^^ Oooh that's a good idea cyberpunk.
Keep both until you FEEL you don't need the other.

i dont think best buy sells macs. they only apple product they sell is the ipod. but that is a good idea. sell both of the lappys and get a powerbook.

Tough choice, Compaqs aren't the best laptops but if you're going for everything other than looks, Compaq. Cyberpunk's idea is good, just not the Powerbook (personal preference).

well its either sell the iBook or keep the compaq cause i dont think i can sell both since i need a computer for school and i dont think i could make enough of both to get a powerbook although that would be clutch. Plus my laptop still has 2yrs of warranty left on it.

Sell both and buy an all around better one. Even get a huge hard drive and have dual boot P Linux and Windows. Thats what I would do...

your pc laptop would smoke the shit out of the ibook. if you REALLY want a mac, go with the powerbook idea.
