- As I intend to buy a PB soon I have looked into this. My first idea was to
- sell my desktop machine and get a duo with a dock. As it turns out, this
- costs around $4000, maybe more. My next consideration was the 160. This
- costs around $3000. (Both of these figures include accessories such as extra
- battery, cahrger, case, and RAM). The 160 also comes with a built in drive
- and a better monitor and trackball. The advantage of the dock is that it is
- expandable. That is the real division. If you are going to want to buy an
- 040 processor for your PB you want to spend the $1000 more on the DUO.
- Otherwise the 160 is a much better choice.
