[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1498283"] (note: it took quite a little time to determine what model you were talking about: unlike the Windows world, Mac users generally refer to specific models by their plain-english name, ie 14" iBook in your case, along with when it was made if known -- ie, Fall 2004 14" iBook) At $125 I'd say it was overpriced even if it was in MINT condition with ALL original packaging, disks etc. This is a nearly decade-old computer which was a marvel in its day but now? Seriously? I don't mean to rain on your parade, but come on -- video, school, games? No way. To put it another way: an iPad mini with a BT keyboard case would provide you with a FAR superior computer for well under $500. If you need a notebook, I'd suggest looking at Intel Core 2 Duo models from 2008 and later. Its possible to find something used or refurbished that will meet your needs, but not at the $125 level. Not even for a kid. [/QUOTE]
