[QUOTE="Fomer, post: 21361"] Welcome to mac-forums. Enjoy your stay. :) I was the same way a year ago, still to this day I make my side money fixing those machines. I know the os inside out... which saddens me. :( I own a powerbook and love it but 7/10 of the people who post wanting advice about switching I say go with the Ibook because they are blown away by the metal of the pb or think the very minimal upgardes are worth it... its not worth it. The Ibook is an amazing machine.( as is the pb) but a 12' is perfect for a college student. And the Ibook is great because the powerbook has a screen shutting problem and could def come open being thrown in a bag all the time. Yes. The ram is a good amount. So is everything. I am with Graphite.... .mac is useless. Well your looking into the right computer company! Do it... leave the blue screen of heart ache behind. Ibook just had an upgrade (personally don't see one coming again until Q4. Upgrades wouldn't be worth waiting for. The Ibook has no major problems that need fixed. They would mostly be facelift like effects, and the Ibook in its current state looks amazing. 100 mhz isnt that big of a deal if they added it. They wouldn't go over the hd or ram you have. Any software can be bought. I wouldn't worry about it all. Go ahead and get it, learn it, and enjoy it! [/QUOTE]
