Thanks! |

My budget is very low (under $800.) I have more time than money! I guess |
4 |
I would like to know if there is any laptop that I should stay away |
5 |
from. |
6 |
|
7 |
I would really like to convert my existing laptops (mac powerbook pezzo, |
8 |
and ibook clamshell) Otherwise I would look around for a used dell, IBM, |
9 |
sony, or whatever. |
10 |
|
11 |
One thing I am looking for is if the hardware on the powerbook pezzo is |
12 |
supported (firewire, dvdrom drive, duel batteries, usb, airport card, |
13 |
additional display, modem, networking and sound) |
14 |
|
15 |
I am very interested in using my powerbook for editing video/audio. |
16 |
Right now I have MacOS 9. with Final Cut Pro. |
17 |
I have not upgraded to OSX because I would have to update my Final Cut |
18 |
Pro and adobe stuff too. I would rather set up some kind of "video for |
19 |
linux" solution instead. All my desktops in my office are Gentoo, so I |
20 |
would like to be consistent with my laptop. |
21 |
|
22 |
Thanks again! |
