[QUOTE="ric duncombe, post: 833226, member: 97132"] I am looking for a replacement for my ibook which suffered a logic board failure. I need a compact model as i am about to go traveling, it will be used primeraly for using the internet, managing my photography workload (photoshop, lightroom) and playing football manager 2009 while on buses and trains and generally passing the time around the world! I have found a powerbook G4 12'' model with 1.5 Ghz and 512mb RAM on ebay and it looks totally clean and has box, all cds, manuals a spare battery, new power cable and a soft bag for £400 (which is about $660 - please remember things like this cost a lot more in the UK regardless!) Would this be a good purchase or should i be looking toward something a little better, as this money could buy quite a good spec windows based laptop brand new (although i would lose the 12'' portability - a netbook is no good as they will not run football manager due to the screen resolution) - if anyone has any other options i would be very grateful any advice much appreciated regards Richard [/QUOTE]
