[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1709505, member: 56379"] Yes…stuff in the UK is more expensive (even used stuff). £100 = about $143US. That same 2001 iBook is probably worth about $30-$40 bucks (£21-£28) here in the U.S. Hopefully you understood what I meant by "newer". I meant instead of a 2001 iBook…you could get something like a 2003 or 2004 iBook. The last iBook model was released 2005 & discontinued 2006. They then became "MacBook's"…and had Intel CPU's. It does sound like even a newer iBook is pretty expensive in the UK. - Nick p.s. Just for comparison sake. A refurbished 13" 2012 MacBook Pro can be purchased from Apple UK for £759. It would seem a little "nutty" to purchase a 10+ year old Apple laptop (iBook, Powerbook, MacBook, or MacBook Pro) for £200+…if something basically brand new from Apple can be had for £759…which will also come with at least a 12 month warranty.
