[QUOTE="supenguin, post: 21356"] [b]12 ibook[/b] From what you said about what you're doing with a Mac, a G4 ibook would be great. I bought a g3 ibook 12" a little over a week ago. Itunes is great, the dvd player is smooth. I've seen some people on the forums do photoshop and video editing on it. A nice added bonus, Warcraft III and Unreal Tournament 2003 both work very nicely if I turn down the detail level a bit. Everything works except the very latest first-person shooters. Oh yeah, what the other guys said, make sure the software you use runs on Mac too. Not sure if you've looked at the difference sizes - I switched from a PC with a 19" CRT to an ibook with a 12" screen. I thought it was going to seem really small and run it hooked up to a monitor whenever I'm home. Actually I like the 12" better. Airport card and surf the web, chat, balance checkbook, whatever from the couch. I'd imagine it would also be great for taking notes on in class. Although classmates drooling over it may be a bit distracting ;-) On a sidenote, not sure if you're into this, but if you buy a new Mac, you get GarageBand which lets you create music. Also, mine came pre-installed with Quicken 2003. I was planning on buying Quicken anyway, so this was a nice surprise. Still haven't figured out 100% for sure if its a full or demo version. One last thing - definitely max out the RAM! [/QUOTE]
