Not too long ago, I sold my iBook, right after the new MacBook was announced. I planned to buy that same MacBook somewhere this summer; however, I started to doubt. I had second thoughts. Let me explain why I decided to not buy a new Mac, but instead opt for a used G4 PowerMac. Note: After being absent for a week, here is another Sunday Eve Column.

While I believe the article was poorly written I did understand Thom's point. That point was no matter what system you choose don't make aesthetics the most important factor in your purchase decision. Both software and hardware are more important than a systems outer appearance. Though when it comes to hardware there really isn't that much difference than systems sold by competitors such as Dell and HP. At least in regards to laptops since Apple has yet to release anything new for their desktop systems. After all all three companies sell systems that offer Intel Core Duo processors and the choice of hignend graphics even for a mobile GPU.
