[QUOTE="sk., post: 68454"] Hey guys, just signed up here and I need some advice. Right now I have a regular PC desktop and its alright but I need a laptop for college. So i was thinking about the ibook, nothing fancy just something to write papers, watch a movie sometimes or maybe play a game. So I customized my laptop at the apple.com website. For 1,174 dollars i can get this: • 512MB DDR266 SDRAM (256MB built-in & 256MB SO-DIMM) • 60GB Ultra ATA drive • Combo drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW) • AirPort Extreme Card • Keyboard & Mac OS X - U.S. English • 12-inch TFT XGA display • 1.2GHz PowerPC G4 • ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 w/ 32MB DDR video memory Seems fine for college but now. Im worried about software for this laptop. Software that I use everyday like winamp, nero to burn cd's, aim, firewalls, antivirus's. ALso how long did it take you guys to get used to apple's OS X? Because honestly im a newb when it comes to Apple, i probably dont know how to navigate through the operating system. Thank you for all the help. [/QUOTE]
