G3 or M3

[TSE]

Hey guys, in a bit of a dilemma...

I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I can't decide between my two final choices. Either a brand new MacBook Air M3 or the iBook G3.

The M3 is faster, has a better screen, is lighter, and longer battery life, but the G3 has more ports, a Combo Drive, and is much more affordable.

Any recommendations?

It has gotten more difficult to cruise the internet using a PowerPC. Do you intend stand alone operations or will you be attaching to a network?

Don't forget about the handle on the G3 (I'm assuming iBook G3) !!

But in all seriousness, the G3 was a great machine in its time, but I don't think most websites would work because there's no modern browsers for it

the iBook is probably a more cost effective option and still supports the game Ottomatic.

I'm waiting for the G4.

Internet will be required.
