[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1316891, member: 56379"] That budget actually isn't too bad.:) As you probably know...Apple sells new computers. But what you may not know is...Apple also sells refurbished computers. The only thing Apple has currently that almost fits into your budget is this MacBook for $849 (plus tax): [url=http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbook]Shop Refurbished MacBook - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url] Other than this...you would pretty much have to find something used via Craig's List or e-Bay. Let me also mention something about your video card question. MacBooks are very good computers...but they're not the best. This is where the MacBook Pro line of computers comes in. They can be better depending on the configuration...but they cost more $$$$. And if you hang onto a MacBook for 8-10 years (maybe like your Powerbook G4)...eventually it will get slow. I'm currently using a 2007 MacBook Pro (pushing 5 years old now)...and have no complaints.:) Hope this helps, - Nick p.s. Also wanted to mention. Depending on your needs...a slightly older MacBook (say 2008 vintage) in the $400-$500 range may also fit your needs. But that $849 MacBook I linked above would be a very nice little computer!:) [/QUOTE]
