*smiles at Apple reference*\nwhen I was looking around before buying this laptop, i did wander into an apple store out of curiosity\n\nwalked out again about five minutes later and didn't seriously consider an ibook in any of my further reckoning :-)\n\nFor the uses you've specified, you'd be as well to buy second hand if money is an issue - anything you can get these days --- for all of Intel's hard sell TV adverts --- is about 3 or 4 times more powerful than you really need for any of that. But, if you can afford it, you may as well get a nicely specified machine; unlike getting a 4x more powerful car, you won't be spending a fortune on fuel or insurance, or suffering from cripplingly heavy handling or go deaf. A well made modern machine will burn up no more, or possibly less power than a much, much slower one from a few years ago, and weigh less / be quieter too.\n\nFirst question - what are your priorities re: portability vs capability? Will you be carrying it around a lot all day, doing a lot of work off the battery and mainly with lightweight files kept on the hard disc, or will it be mostly sat at home on a desk, plugged in, doing a fair bit of media work, playing DVDs etc? That's the main tradeoff these days, as there's an awful lot of choice in terms of form-factor. Used to be that a laptop was a known quantity in terms of size - like two letter writing pads stacked on each other. Not any more.\n\nPersonally I went for the lightweight portable route, as I needed to do a fair bit of wordprocessing and other office stuff on the road (well, the train, and around all manner of random places) and needed something a bit thinner, but no more spread out than that old 2-pad electronic jalopy (£40, used, with a good battery - bargain!) I'd been using before, as my arms were tired but the available work spaces were tight as rubber gloves on wet hands. A modern thin-bordered 12" screen offers a lot more working area (almost to the level of a once-common 14" tube monitor) than an older laptop, in the same size case - it's easily enough for me, and has the same resolution (same conceptual desktop space for windows etc) as my mother's heavier 14". Besides, if you're typing, you're only looking at a tiny, tiny part of it at a time; the old one had about half the pixel resolution of this and was still OK for writing lengthy reports!\n\nI've sacrificed a bit of potential screen area, a bit of hard drive space and CPU speed, one speaker (internal mono's not an issue if you rarely use it without (stereo) headphones) and an internal DVD drive in order to get something sleek and lightweight with a phenomenal battery runtime without paying over the odds; but with a little research and in-store testing, made sure the actual performance wasn't suffering much (quick HD even if "small", large and fast memory, current-generation albeit lower speed CPU, good graphics chip, good solid typist's keyboard, standard width screen to maximise the "useful" WP space). Plus it's a tablet PC... I can sign my name in documents, or flip it over and hold it like an actual paper pad and use the pen as a mouse... and as I waited for the easter sales, I got a cracking bundle deal with an (nice, but very bulky and therefore stay-at-home) external dual layer DVD writer, TV tuner card, etc.\n\nAlternatively, you may want to watch DVDs or not have brilliant sight, and particularly burn a lot of discs... an internal drive and a large screen will be particular boons here, and you'll likely get an even better keyboard into the bargain, with massive battery life or pen functions being minor concerns. They can go all the way up to 17" widescreen, with high quality integrated speakers etc, and what is more or less a full sized desktop keyboard attached --- becoming basically portable desktop PCs, in the same way that a 14" TV with a pop-out handle at the to

Do you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed in your Macbook? Getting an iMac would be a moot point, they both have the same OS, unless you want an Apple Desktop.

Hi there...you'll need to reinstall your system software.  This sounds like a system software corruption.  Insert your iBook G3's original software disc and at startup hold down the "C" key.  \n\nFor detailed instructions to reinstall OS X:\nhttp://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151641\n\nFor further Mac questions consider visiting and joining the free Apple Discussion forum: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  Many Mac users here are able to help answer questions with the ability to walk you through each steps if necessary as well.

buy it now if you need it now. (i'm an 12" iBook owner). its unrealistic to expect the new Intel based macs to be a lot cheaper, and essentially, all new apps written in new xCode can be run in both PowerPC based and Intel based macs.\n\nalso, Apple says it is going to support the PowerPC macs for a very long period of time and will release at least two of its future Mac OS X in PowerPC version.\n\nif you want to have the perfect computer, you really need to wait forever.

Hi Josh...the iBooks graphic card is soldered on the logic board and is not upgradeable.  To do the RAM upgrades and hard drive upgrades you can use iFixit's website to walk you through the steps. \nIf your model is the G4 12":\nhttp://www.ifixit.com/Guide/83.0.0.html\n\nor if the model is the G4 14": \nhttp://www.ifixit.com/Guide/84.0.0.html

You should check the Apple Hong Kong Site. You can buy online from the site in Hong Kong or you can find resellers directly from the site.

If you don't want to learn how to use a Mac, I have both so I know what it is like, not saying it is hard but it isn't something you don't want to have to do if you don't need to.\n\nIn my personal experiance the best mobile business laptop would be a Toshibe Protege.\n\nIt is about the same price as an equally equipped Apple PowerBook G4 but I feel without a big switch over to look into those.\n\nI personally for what I need, Computer Engineering student / WebHost / Technical Writer I use a PowerBook G4. I love it, wouldn't go anywhere wihtout it.

Hi there...it's not too difficult to do the installation yourself.  Here's the step-by-step instructions on how to do the installation: \n12" model:\nhttp://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/iBook-G3-12-Inch/Optical-Drive\n14" model:\nhttp://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/iBook-G3-14-Inch/Optical-Drive\n\nYou can purchase and upgrade to Tiger, however you'll need much more RAM and the maximum for iBook G3's 600Mhz is 640MB or it will run painfully slow your iBook.\n\n\niBook G3/600 Combo Drive: http://www.pchub.com/uph/laptop/24-15534-1457/Internal_DVDCDRW_Combo_Apple_IBook_M8413_G3_60014.html

get a ibook\n\napple has just released a brand new iBook called macBook, you should definitely check it out. it is powerful and the value is great compared to a Sony VAIO. i have used the ibook as a student and i found it one of the best computer for college students.\n\nyou should know however that mac computers work differently from other computers. it does not use windows so some programs out there may not work with the ibook. in that case, apple has created a software called boot camp that allows user to install windows as well. it takes 2 hours to install it, but afterwards you have the best of both worlds :)
