Hey guys,

I'm in need of GAF advice, I have the chance to get a Mac Mini with upgraded ram to 1GB, 1.25ghz G4 with a combo drive with Apple Keyboard and mouse. I like Macs I own a Powerbook TI and a Powerbook 17" Aluminum, both of them just recently died on me The entire package would be like 425$ + shipping.

Then again I have a chance to get a Toshiba M35 special edition laptop. It has a DVD-RW drive, 15.4" TruBright widescreen display, Pentium M735 Centrino, Nvidia 5200Go 64mb, 512mb PC2700 ram, etc for 510$ Shipped.

so which one would be the better deal? I didn't use my macs for a lot of work, some photoshop etc, but most of that was done on my home desktop. But the Mini is nice small compact but lacks a Superdrive. On the other hand the Toshiba has a screen that's above average Laptop LCD's has a DVD-RW drive but it's big.

So GAF help me decide

Only thing the Mini has going for it is the 1gb of memory otherwise the laptop is far superior.

Wait until after tomorrow's announcement.

A price drod for the PowerBook would kick so much ass.

Didn't the 17" come out within the last year (I guess it's been close to 2?)? Shouldn't it still be under warranty?

I upgraded the ram, and to a superdrive, when I took it in Applestore wanted nothing to do with it... now the screen is dead and they want 1100$ to fix it, and for that price I could get something that out preforms it.


And what's this annoucement tomorrow? some Ipod crap? I hate Ipods!
