After intense mind-boggling self-discussion, contemplation and consideration, I decided on the ex-stock 1.33Ghz 12″ Powerbook. After comparing specs and weighing options dollar for dollar, the PowerBook came up tops where price/performance ratio was concerned. The 14.1″ iBook is also a steal however, and it was a close-fought battle to the finish.

The stock-supplied RAM of 256MB is hardly sufficient to even run the OS, but it will have to do for now. Have maxed my credit cards and will need to prostitute my not-so-youthful body in order to pay off all short-term debt. Anyone interested, please drop me a line. Consequently I will need to go on a strict 2-pc roti canai daily diet in order to not still be paying for the PowerBook in 2015.

On a brighter note *ahem*, the Powerbook will be my first portable I own, and my 3rd Mac ever. Have been without a Mac for over a year, since I sold off my iMac G4 last year. I look forward to many intimate times with my new baby. May she bestow upon me generous amounts of fulfilling projects (both monetary and otherwise) this year.
For whoever is interested, there are a couple of 14.1″ 1.02Ghz iBooks for sale at RM3,999. You can find these in Mac Studio, IKano Power Centre. Good buy, I reckon. Pay Mac Studio a visit fellas!
