[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 49275, member: 3850"] Basically you can buy any 2,5" laptop drive and put it in your iBook, BUT (!) it is not classified as a user installable part, and sounds quite difficult to do. Also by putting one in yourself, you will void your warranty. I'd just get the 60GB model and then if you need more space, buy an external firewire / usb2.0 harddrive. Also if you get the superdrive, you can always save stuff on dvd's... To communicate with your PC, just use a wireless network (if your oc has wireless lan) or a normal ethernet cable to connect the two - bluetooth would be much too slow anyway for this. The touchpad can play up on times, especially when you're getting used to it. But after a while, mine has "settled down" and is ok now. So don't worry about it. 12" vs. 14"? Well you can only get superdrive in the 14", but it is quite big. I personally went for the 12" as I want to take my ibook to university all the time and the 14" with tons of books would be too much.
