[QUOTE="sursuciofla, post: 78025"] I hope this warped display doesn't happen to me. I got a 14" ibook G4 about a week and a half ago. It is the 1.33 ghz and I have the 80 GB hardrive with 1.25 GB of RAM (installed the 1 GB SO-DIMM myself because even with the student discount $450 from Apple is a ripoff versus the $230 I paid for the memory elsewhere). Also get the combo drive and get a dual-layer external dvd burner because the $200 more for the superdrive can be invested in that, plus if you upgrade computers you can keep it. I am very happy thus far since I bought this for school (graphic design) and it's rugged. Since my school has G4 and G5 Powermacs there wasn't a need for me to get the powerbook just yet. I plan to definately upgrade to the powermac as my primary when I graduate but until then the portability and value of the ibook is just better right now and should last as while (my brother has had his for over 4 years, and now owns a powermac G5 as well). I paid $1600 in all, this includes the maxed out memory and tax. For a graphics student 14" ibook is mandatory, 12" is just too small. The 15" and 17" powerbooks are the best but will cost you $1000 to $1500, plus you should add more RAM. Does anyone recommend the APPLECARE PLAN? I just don't expect this thing to fail me even though I know it happens sometimes. [/QUOTE]
