Hi, I am saving, got £500 and around June time I will have enough for a Mac Laptop.

I am stuck between the iBook and the PowerBook with 14/15inch minimum screen size is a must

I thought of getting extra ram seperatly (Could I get 256mb then get a 512mb stick from an online site?) Any ideas? Is it simple to add RAM?

It wont be out of date soon will it? I hope it to last some years at the price.. lol

I live in the UK

Anybody who also owns one of these, are they noisy? Is there stuff I should do every so often (Like maintenance) How long does the battery last?

I have 11Gb of video music (mostly MPG and some AVI files) I like to listen to all the time and I also have the 40GB Xclef-HD500 and is supported by OSX and someone on this board has one and from what I read you just plug in and it comes up on the desktop handy

Thanks

Edit: The 1.5Ghz PowerBook is what im wanting to get more, and i found http://www.crucial.com/uk/ when looking for cheaper ram.. but the model isnt there
