Which PPC to buy???
Posted: Mar 17, 2004 @ 11:23pmHello!
I’m new here but I have a rather important question (at least it is to me). I’ve read a lot of posts on your board, but still I’m puzzled. I’m planning to buy my first PPC and I have my eye on some models, but still I’m not sure which one is best for me. I would be interested to hear from your personal experiences or to read reviews. My situation is somewhat ‘out of the ordinary’, as you’ll see.
The reasons I want to buy a PPC are:
- using it to study Japanese with a PPC soft called KanjiKing
- Use Word, Outlook, Acrobat Reader and to a lesser extent XL
- listening to music (MP3)
- Watching .avis (TV shows I recorded myself)
I might also play a game from time to time, but that’s very rare and not important at all to me. If I do, then it would most probably be emulated games (Famicom, Super Famicom, etc)
One more important point to note is that I’ll need a PPC running JAPANESE soft, since I study Japanese and spend half of my time there. That means Japanese OS & Office applications. That is the reason (along with the worldwide guarantee) that I’m interested in some models of Toshiba, either the ‘US models’ or the Japanese ones:
It would also be handy if I can connect a Japanese keyboard to it with USB.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback you can give me. Thanks in advance!
