Hey guys, first time poster, year old reader.
My story is, I have started a small home recording studio using my iMac, and I want to go portable. I don't need much in a notebook, basically 20 gigs of HD, 2.0 usb port, and hopefully osx 10.5.
I would love to keep this around $300. On ebay I saw "refurbished" ibooks that looked pretty good for $250 I think. They also came with Microsoft Word, and Powerpoint and what not. That would be nice since I will most likely end up using this for school also, but I don't know what "refurbished" means. I always thought apple had to do that. I also saw Powerbook G4's on there for around the same price.
Anyway, I know nothing about laptops, so I was just seeing what you guys had to say about this.
