[QUOTE="de kaib, post: 362951, member: 29332"] So Apple is really playing some crazy mind games on me right now.. Some side information: I am currently a PC user hoping to do a switch to Macs, I am currently a college student pursing a Nursing degree, I am aware of Leopard and Santa Rosa being released in the next couple months. So my plan is to wait for Leopard to be released before I purchase a Macbook so I will not have to spend any extra money for software. I am planning to be a refurbished Macbook C2D 2.0GHz low end model then do some aftermarket upgrades on the RAM and HDD. So now to my real question why I am here.. I found an iBook G4 800MHz for sale locally going for $450. The specs are: Apple iBook G4 800MHz / 640MB / 100GB / Radeon 9200 Mobility 32MB / Aiport Extreme Bluetooth Installed. Included will be a new battery from Apple and power cord as well as the installation software. Everything is running 100% read from the Apple diagnostic test. I'm wondering if I should purchase this so I can get a feel of the Mac OS since I'm a new user. How fast will this system run for the usual iTunes, web surfing, chatting, etc..? Is this worth the money or should I ask for a decrease in price (since I am a college student and financially limited)? Or should I just save my money and wait to purchase a Macbook now (before Leopard releases) and use my educational discount to purchase the Leopard OS when it releases? Everything is still up in the air, I apologize if this post was unnecessary or posted in the wrong section. I really would like to hear many of your outputs/opinions on this. Hope to hear from any of you soon, thanks! [/QUOTE]
