As everyone knows by now Apple will be switching their processors to Intel and I'm very very tempted to buy a 15" Powerbook. However, I had someone tell me it will be obsolete in the next couple years. I find it really hard to believe that Apple would dump all support on OS X and just sever the ties with everything pre-Intel.
Basically, my computing needs for this laptop are casual and for school. I'll be doing some programming/compiling and a lot of web development but other than that I don't play games and I'd like to use it for casual computing.
I'm about to chunk out 2k for this thing and I just want to make sure I'm making a good investment.
I will point out that I am also leaning towards Apple simply because its designed really well.
For those who are not MacHeads or Anti-Apple whatever... if you are going to comment please offer constructive criticism as to why and any other alternatives and recommendations? Thanks ahead of time for any advice given!
