[QUOTE="empty_noise, post: 713084, member: 48094"] Since you wanna look on ebay then you don't rightly care if it's an older model then... Most likely you'll want something that can burn DVDs as well as CDs, so try to find something with a Superdrive, and not a Combo drive. Not sure what the prices are on ebay, but you may end up spending a lot more than 200 quid, and if your doing Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc., then I'm assuming you want more than 32MB of dedicated graphics memory, which is what the last line of iBook G4s had (Mid 2005 models) before being replaced with the MacBook line. The latest models of the PowerBook G4s (Oct 2005 models), before being replaced by the MacBook Pro line, had 128MB of dedicated graphics memory. The processor you listed runs at 1.6 GHz if I'm not mistaken, and revision D and E (Jan '05 and Oct '05) models of the PowerBook G4s had a 1.67 GHz processor.. save for the 12-inch Jan '05 PB G4. [B]Okay I'm rambling now, in short you'll want a late model PowerBook G4.[/B] [/QUOTE]
