[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 53364, member: 3850"] Well I'm very pleased with my little iBook. I also just switched from the pc world, and haven't looked back since... The size and weight of the iBook are ideal for lugging it around on campus and I rarely leave it home anymore as it's just so great to be able to access all my stuff wherever I am. The battery life is also great, it seldom happens that I run the battery down and I generally get around 4-5 hours of battery life. (although I haven't really measured it carefully...) For the needs you mentioned the iBook is definetly good enough, anything faster would be overkill IMO. Get the 60GB harddrive though as you'll be amazed how quickly 40GB fill up! Especially when you start managing ALL your data on your 'book. (i.e. movies, music and all your pics...) I'd maybe wait until christmas if you don't need the notebook straight away as you'll then be able to get the latest and greatest release, which can't be far off. check out the macrumours.com buyer's guide for more info on apple's product update cycles. They currently recommend 'don't buy - updates soon!' for the iBook... [/QUOTE]
