Hi Folks
Just thought i'd share my experience of the functionality an Apple ibook provides, (based on my recent purchase of the G4 12" 1.2Ghz ibook 512mb ram & bluetooth) I've just tested it with a number of external devices & Wow! it works like a charm.
I love how the G4 ibook is able to take advantage of my external 17" Monitor and USB Keyboard and also my wireless mouse! when at home. Yet at the same time when out & about it becomes the perfect traveling companion.
With a greater screen real estate, (using my 17" external Monitor) and the ease of use & functionality the external USB keyboard provides, along with a wireless mouse, I'm not going to bother buying a Mac mini or other Apple home based system for the moment.
If anyone is thinking about buying a nice portable laptop and is undecided between the G4 ibook or a Mac mini (providing your needs are minimal) then my suggestion would be to go with the 12" G4 ibook model and use an external monitor, keyboard & mouse when at home.
This option would obviously allow you the mobility the ibook offers you whilst out & about, as well as a machine thats able to double as a home based system, with external keyboard, monitor & mouse.
If your needs are fairly minimal i.e. you don't need a G5 Tower to edit videos or do other processor/memory intensive work, then the G4 1.2Ghz 12" ibook is a great option.
Just my tuppence worth :headphone
