My daughter Just Switched

My daughter is in collage using a Macbook, she hates it. She says the fan never stops. She is home on spring break, she's been using my 17in.PB and says she loves it, the fans never come on and she says everything looks better on the PB. My question is do the still sell 17in PB? Where would one look? Can you still get Apple care? I guess the reason she doesn't like it is she is doing fashion design and the MB video card doesn't make it. I put the MB next to the PB, there is quite a difference. Also the PB seems to respond faster for some reason. She has all updates and keeps her maintenance up.

Hi jram,
Apple still sells some Refurbished 17" PowerBooks on their website... Applecare IS available on these. Scroll down this site to see them:

Isn't that more an iChild then?

No it's an iKid.

Are you sure it's not 17" screen envy? If I were on a MacBook but got to use a 17" Powerbook or MBP on spring break, I'd want to take it back to school too.

Yeah, it could be the bigger screen. I'm on it right now listening to itunes along with the fan buzzing.
It is sharp though.

Lol. I wish my dad would switch to a mac. He brought home an iMac G4 once, fully loaded. He was supposed to fix it. He didn't even know how to turn it on lol. So I had to show him and it came up and it worked. I told him to play with it and he couldn't figure anything out. He won't even touch my iBook. lol

My uncle hates my iBook too. I went to his house and couldn't get in his wireless because there was a password. He took it and typed the IP in the browser and was like "It won't connect." I said, yea you cant connect to it at all without the password lol.
