[QUOTE="dan828, post: 178436, member: 8468"] The specs on the two are pretty similar, but remember that the iBook has built in bluetooth and airport, while on the Mini it is an option, though adding it would still give you a system at a cheaper price. Also, with the Mini there is only one memory slot and it is not easy to upgrade. With the iBook you can get the lowest base memory and upgrade later for cheaper than you can buy it from Apple. I don't see much of a downside of using the iBook as you describe, and as you said, you have greater flexibility with the iBook. At this point though, if you can wait, I'd wait until April 1st to see if new models of either come out (there is lots of speculation stemming from Steve Jobs' April 1st reference in the keynote). Possibly intel versions of both the Mini and the iBook by then based on the Core Solo chip, but that's just wild speculation ;). [/QUOTE]
