I am a current PC user, fed up with the Evil Empire. I'm thinking about buying a used 1.2 GHZ 12" iBook G4 with 512 MB/30GB/CD and with OS 10.4 installed for $479 from powerbookguy.com. Is that a reasonable deal?
I'm currently running Win XP on an Acer Aspire laptop with a Sempron 3000+ (1.8GHz) with 1 GB RAM and 64 MB shared video memory. Would the speed be slower, faster, or similar on the iBook? My primary use for my laptop is web surfing, email, and a little "MS Office" type stuff (nothing too intense) with OpenOffice. I'd probably replace the 256 MB SODIMM with a 1GB SODIMM and the CD drive with a Combo drive in the near future.
