[QUOTE="missyvortex, post: 53916"] Well my boyfriend has an ibook he does programming on. His secondhand ibook just died on him (display problem - it was old 500mhz white ibook) and after lots of researching he once again decided on an ibook. He said he did most of his progrmaming last year on it (he's Computer Science student btw) as its so quiet and the tft is easier to look at than his desktop pc. Makes it easier to concentrate. As for which model, I'd recommend 12", mainly because they both have same resolution and 12" is easier to transport and fits in bags better too. I really envy the 12" ibooks - sleek, quiet and smaller than most laptops ( I hate the upward trend to bigger and bigger laptops, who wants a 17" screen on one, I'd prefer smaller than 12", what happened to the subnotebook? The ibook is one of the very few laptops that come in 12" today) If you were looking for small laptop for university (I don't know if you were) then the MV mobeus is the only other one I've heard of recently. They are new company, website [url]www.go-mv.com[/url] or [url]www.go-mv.co.uk[/url] The specs etc are only available on english website for some reason, not sure if the model is coming out in america or not. If you have any other questions about programming on an ibook then just ask and I'll see if I can get him to answer them for you. [/QUOTE]
