[QUOTE="titan0111, post: 98933"] the most basic iBook with your eductional discount will cost you $899+tax (w/o AirPort Extreme Card) but since you wanted to WiFi service, i will go with $949 one (w/ AirPort Extreme Card)... standard 256MB may be good enough for you but it will lag if you try to run tons of apps at once... so i will op for 256MB + 256MB (512Mb) or + 512MB (768MB)... upgrading memory is pretty easy...so you can do that whenever you feel it's needed... plus it's cheaper to get a memory from somewhere else anyway... and if you are planning to store mp3s or AACs in your HDD, then go for at least 60GB HDD, cause like Padawan said in order to upgrade HDD, you will literally have to take whole iBook apart... So if you go with AirPort Extreme Card, standard 256MB RAM and 60GB HDD, i will cost you $1,016 total... oh...and instead of ordering it through online, try calling them, cause i read it somewhere that someone got extra $50 off just by ordering through the phone... worth a try, right? ...WELCOME TO THE MAC WORLD...
