[Item Permalink] Getting a new Macbook? -- Comment()
I'm pondering whether to get a new Macbook (the aluminium one) to replace the old 1,33 GHz iBook G4 we have at home. A week ago the iBook battery charger broke, but we do have a spare one, so we can still use it. But I feel that this was a warning of problems to come. The iBook has been in a lot of use, and is still serving nicely in web surfing, normal office work (such as Word/PowerPoint/Excel), but for digital media (except for iTunes) it starts to be slow. So, perhaps it is now the time to upgrade.

But I think I'll wait for a month or two until making the decision. We have a year-old iMac at home, which works as the media center, digital tv, video recorder and the children's gaming machine. So, it is not as if we didn't have enough computers at home. But still, the unibody aluminium Macbook looks so great...
