Hi guys and guyesses,
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask but nowhere else seems suitable.
I already use a Mac Mini as my main desktop computer and I wanted to get myself a laptop to use alongside it. I really like the look of the white iBook models and I have been looking at the 1.2 GHz, 12.1" screen G4 iBooks on eBay. Only snag is that they seem to go for more than I can afford. On the plus side I have seen similar looking G3 iBooks running an 800 MHz chip that fit nicely into my budget range.
So, my basic question is this .... What can the 1.2 GHz, G4 version do that an 800 MHz, G3 version can't?
Bearing in mind that this laptop will mostly be used indoors with the odd trip out to store photographs when my camera's memory card is full. In fact, if I'm being honest, it will mostly be used to browse eBay and play poker while snug as a bug in bed.
Any advice gratefully received.
Steve
