    newsflash john...powerbook is not a PC notebook

    not to mention they're just a bit pricier than the rest, but you've gotta be clear on what you're going to be using it for.

    But the way im thinking about it..

    ~$2000 = :

    1 pc notebook + Mods

    OR

    1 powerbook.

    I think the choice is obvious

    2k's a lot of dough to drop on a Powerbook. Here's some other options...


    $2000 = 1 month in PI living like a freakin' king

    $2000 = 30 hours with adobo's hooker pal

    $2000 = 5 more beater MB's for your collection

    $2000 = buy in at next week's AZ Poker Invitational @ Ted's

    $2000 = video projector and dvd player for supersized porn

    $2000 = 6 pocketbikes plus mods

    $2000 = 30 min @ the craps table with me and brooks

    $2000 = 4 autographed Clinton books on ebay

    $2000 = 1 badass desktop and a night of lapdances for you and your friends

    $2000 = badass weekend of debauchery in Montreal

    $2000 = new mountainbike & a shoitload of Chicken Katsu

    Stay away from Alienware notebooks like the plague.... looks like a good amount of problems popping up with them.

    Custom painted notebooks is what it's all about:

    www.voodoopc.com
    www.falcon-nw.com
    www.hypersonic-pc.com

    If you're thinking about getting a Voodoo PC, talk to me... I've got some suggestions. A note about Falcon Northwest, you can get ANY color paint on the laptops at the price given. Get the crazy chameleon color paint, looks awesome.
