Hi,
I always want to give MAC a try. I bought my X60s just to wait for the next gen of MacBook or the smaller MBP.
Now, someone is selling a iBook locally for 400$.
It has G4 1.33G/512MB/40GB/wireless and 21 months warranty left.
I think it's a steal. But I have no experience with apple products. Am I right?
-
yes it is a good deal especially with the warranty on it.
-
will it be powerful enough to run office stuff smoothly?
I only plan to use it for office stuff. Thanks. -
It will run Office pretty well. Since its already a PowerPC you don't have to worry about Office running under the Rosetta emulator.
However, if you can, upgrading the RAM to 1 GB would be nice. -
Thanks.
I am waiting for the seller's call.
so, Sam you think it's worth the money?
-
Sounds like a good deal, and if office things are the only things you want it for, it should do nicely
-
That is a very good deal. Plus you can try out Mac OS X with this iBook.
-
It'll handle all your office stuff, itunes stuff, and even CS2 stuff nicely. I have a couple friends who still lug around their 12" ibooks around campus because it's light, still looks good, and works fine for what they're using it for.
-
thanks guys.
unfortunately, it seems to be a scam. I emailed the guy and give him my cell number. He replied and said he's in UK now.... I don't understand why he posted in my local craigs' list. -
Ah, well sorry to hear jor. Maybe you could save up for a refurbished MacBook then?
-
the refurbished ones cost 800$, while the new ones cost 1000 with student discount
+ free ipod.
I think I will wait till October when leopard is out. I'll sell my x60s then and get a macbook
I hope by then, they have the LED screen and some major upgrade.
-
actually, Sam. Do you think the macbook is a bit too heavy for its size?
That's the real killer for me. -
Well, for its size there certainly are lighter notebooks out there. Is it really a killer for you? I don't consider 5 pounds too heavy.
-
I mean a 14" should weight about 5 pounds.
I tried it in the local apple store. I absolutely love it.
Is this iBook a good deal? worth the money?
