BullDurham Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 So, I'm looking for a new laptop and was leaning toward an iBook when out of the blue Apple decides to switch to Intel chips. Considering this is a computer I will be having for quite a while, does it make sense to get an iBook? I don't want something that'll just turn into a paperweight in a short amount of time because of issues of backwards compatibility to the PPC chip line.

BullDurham Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 Just as I said, Steve Jobs announced that Apple is switching from the IBM-manufactured PowerPC chips to Intel chips. http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/06/06/po...intel/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
