I was thinking of her budget and the fact I have about ten different friends happy on G4s.
I did get the new al mbook. Faster yes, but man, those 12” macs were small and GREAT. This is too big for a lappie.
I have a buddy doing film editing on the G4 12” but I’m sure if he had an option, he’d love your new Macbook with those nice Intel Core 2 Duo processors. :)
You can get by fine with a G4 machine for the work described at the top of the thread. But seeking it out with newly spent dollars is something different entirely and that’s why I said not to go that route.
