I currently have a G4 Dual 867 MDD that is getting painfully slow. I need a new machine but cant decide against a used G5 2.3 PowerPC for around $600 and a regular macbook...or bit the bullet and get a new MBP at $2k... My G4 is my current production machine that I use for freelance photography and design. I have a server so space isnt a huge concern, but cant decide if mobility is... I have never owned a laptop before so I kind of like the idea but If I get one, it would have to serve as a production machine as well. So, will a MBP be a lot more powerful than my current system? or, with my other option, getting a used G5 and a regular macbook for about the same price point...
