Hello, I'm needing a computer for college and I'm on a limited budget. I've narrowed down my options to about 4 setups, but maybe I'll get some better suggestions.
I can get :
-1. refurbished iMac G5 1.6GHz/ 256MB/ 80GB/ Combo/ 56K/ 17-inch $750
-2. refurb mac mini core solo $519, mini G4 $600, core duo $700
-3. Refurb eMac 1.42GHz Combo Drive $639
-4. New Intel core duo laptop 1.66ghz t2300 512mb 80gb hdd (5400rpm) dvd/cdrw 56K gbe wlan 15.4inch WinXPP
Basically, my budget is less than $900. All I will use the computer for is typing papers and surfing the web. I've heard the macs are less prone to viruses and breaking down, but having a laptop would also be a plus.
Any help appreciated....
