[QUOTE="Emrys, post: 7374, member: 2"] Got an 800 MHz iBook today. Along with an Airport card, and 256 MB of extra RAM. I couldn't find RAM at a decent price, so I will be mail ordering it from memoryx.net. But even with 368 MB it is a pretty smooth experience. I haven't seen what it can do as far as concourrent open apps yet, but I plan to. I can only imaging with 640 MB RAM, this thing will smoke. The keyboard is a little weird. Just need to get used to it, I guess. Also, when I plug in a USB Apple optical mouse, it acts kind of weird. It always seems to reset, and anchor to the top left corner. As I drag, it seems like it just gets lost, and then resets. Pretty weird. I tried both USB ports as well, and that didn't make a difference. From what I've read, I need to try every port and every device that comes with or can be plugged into this thing. I guess some of them came off the line with defective USB and FireWire ports. Also, the 12" screen is plenty big enough for what I am doing with it. It seems A LOT bigger when it is sitting on your lap, as opposed to sitting on a shelf in a huge store, like CompUSA. So far I am very pleased with this machine, and don't think I would've benefitted from either the 14" model or the extra MHz of the 900MHz model. Anybody wanna buy a Compaq laptop ? :) [/QUOTE]
