My CTX AMD K6-300/128 MB RAM/3 GB drive laptop is obviously at the end of its life. I was in the "shopping" process for a laptop for 2 months now, and I considered a number of PC laptops, including the Compaq Presario 1525US. At the end, I decided to get the new 12" Powerbook, came in last week, and I am since then using it as my primary machine. Here is what I think about it.

The fonts on my Redhat 8 Dell Inspiron look wonderful at 1600x1200. Maybe I'm missing out on the Powerbooks but it seems like I got a good deal at $1524 w/ the ATI Mobility 7500 64MB DDR video card, P-IIIM 1 ghz, 512mb memory, and a 40 gig hard drive. I wish my Dell was thinner and better constructed but the features and price won me over. I wonder if OSX will continue to be such a selling point as Linux gets better?
