I’m a relatively new Apple convert, having bought my very first Mac (a 12″ Powerbook) just a year ago. I now also have a 17″ Intel iMac, but I’m beginning to think maybe it’s time to trade the old Powerbook for something with a little more oomph!

I’ve been seriously considering white (gotta match the iMac!) 13″ MacBook or possibly a 15″ MacBook Pro, but I still have some reservations what with all the fuss over whining, mooing and staining.

So my question for MacBook and MacBook Pro owners - particularly those who have upgraded from PowerBooks - is this: Should I upgrade or should I wait?

Have you had any trouble with yours? How have you been treated by Apple Support?

I know there’s a lot of life in the old PowerBook yet (despite suffering minor dentage from being hurled across the room), but when I see that poor, lonely, beautiful MacBook sat there in the Apple Store, the urge to give it a loving home is almost unbearable…
