Hello everyone!
I am contemplating switching from WinXP Pro to Apple, though I'm sure you see that a lot around here (and has not much to do with my question).
On to that -- as far as Apple Refurbished models go, has anyone noticed any trends as far as reliability compared to "new" models? And, are student discounts available on refurbished models?
Specifically, I'm looking at the iBook 14" G4 1.33 through Apple's Refurbished Site, which has it for $899.00. Another question: This particular unit comes with 256MB of RAM. If I were to purchase enough RAM to get it to 1GB, how easy is installation, and if complicated, how much does installation usually run?
Okay, so that was a lot more questions than I thought. Hopefully you all can help someone from back in the Apple IIse days return to the light.
Thanks!
