Well, WHAT DO YOU USE YOUR IBOOK FOR


I use mine for school work, music, dvd's (although not very much), some photo editing, instant messaging (but not through i chat) and a lot of internet (mostly this forum site!)

please post below.

Let me see, I use it on network service calls to help me troubleshoot networks, set up wireless routers/AP's, Check my email and look up things on the web when I am on the go and need info or drivers, Music, Videos and most other computer related stuff I do away from home. Use it at the house to troubleshoot network issues. Also use it to update the firmware in my router.

I used to use my Thinkpad for that but this iBook is so small and light and stable, I prefer it to the larger Thinkpad although the Thinkpad has never ever let me down either.

I used my iBook just like I do my PowerBook, just like I do my Windows box, just like I did my Linux box... I used it pretty much like any other computer.
After all, its just another kind of computer. There really aren't any other special "iBook only" uses for it and there really isn't anything you can do on an iBook that you can't do on any other computer.

Because I have the 12.1" iBook, I find its perfect for taking places like into University, when on the road, when staying at friends etc etc...

It's the perfect little machine for me to surf the internet, check e-mails, photoshop, the occasional light video editing, Flash, Director, Dreamweaver, store photo's etc...

I also like to use it when just chillin out on the sofa, in the garden etc because its small and light.

I was contemplating selling my iBook and putting the money towards my iMac fund, but I dont think i could lol, I love it too much!

Regards,

Chris.

use my ibook for school (i'm in my last semester of law school), work, web browsing, aim, music, and watch dvd's on airplanes and such. at home i have a 20" imac so the ibook doesn't get much use here.. other than when I'm on the can and need to surf the net :eek:
