  • One other thing: If you are a risk taker, look into the refurbish models. Slightly used, no factory smell, and an Apple tech verified that every refurbish models are working. If you wanna save a few more pennies, check it out.

  • Oops, my bad. Initially I moved all my crap from my PC. Everything added up to 20 GB. At my workplace, USB ports often get broken during moves from one cubicle to the next. The workstation manufacturer refused to replaced them since it is NOT …

  • Quote: Originally posted by kim kap sol Fixed that for you. When I bought my Powerbook, I got it with a 60GB HD. At initial start, the OS (Panther) + apps took up about 20GB. That is where I got my number. Of course I can delete stuff that…

  • 80GB looks better than the 100GB. It is a pain in the ass everytime you hook up an external drive to your iBook. Also, everytime you plug-and-unplug your ext drive, you are wearing out the USB port (or Firewire). These are two reasons I rather …

  • 1GB of ram is a very good idea. Max it out. Same with the HD. An iBook would look fabulous underneath your tree. :-) We'll never know when the 13" will arrive since it is a rumor. If you need the iBook, I suggest that you get it and use it…
