There has never been a better time to get yourself an Apple PowerBook G3. In fact, these are the same PowerBook G3 systems I raved about in this column last August. First, this system is as fast as any computer I've ever used. Not just laptops, either.
Programs launch in an instant and opening and saving files has never been faster.
And even my Internet browser runs briskly. There are several reasons this kind of setup might work for you. First and foremost, having your PowerBook serve as your main computer avoids one of the biggest bugaboos about maintaining a desktop and a laptop in your life. That bugaboo, of course, is file synchronization. If you've ever tried it you know that it's a pain in the patootie to keep the files on your PowerBook in sync with the files on your desktop machine.
