    Is it easy to add these after purchase of an ibook? I am thinking of going without them at first just to keep price down. Would it save headaches do get it installed at the factory u figure?

    I have little computer knowledge, an no MAC knowledge, but if its plug and play I should be ok ...or should I??

    it is easy to add airport. Bluetooth is easy to add via an external usb dongle. However, it's impossible to add internal bluetooth (well, it's possible, but would probably cost 1/3 of what you paid for the book in the first place). Anyhow, buy it with bluetooth if you want it internal, airport can be added later.
