Buying my first p-p-powerbook. Any apple peeps in the house?

[iwearnosox]

I found this guy for $1700 brand new. Seems like a great deal, going to pick it up later this afternoon. Any pointers?

Mac haters need not apply.

Have fun.I love mine.

Oh be sure to enable FILEVAULT and Secure Virtual memory.

Why are you buying a mac?

theres a 750 off 1500 at dell again

 

[mitaiwan82]

looks like a better price than at the apple store, even with an educational discount....so looks like a good bet. I'd wait for the Centrino version

There's a brand new thinkpad on my floor. I don't like it and it doesn't like me. There's also a 700M on my coffee table. I just don't like them. I'm a freak.

I loves me my iBook G4 1.33. Just make sure you load the thing with RAM. I have 1.25 gigs in mine and it is a very decent laptop. Plus OS X is da' shizznit. Configure Expose to your liking and you'll be a happy camper.

I'd be wary of buying a Mac right now...they're already obsolete! I would wait till the Yonah Macs come out in a few years before spending more than $1000 on one.

For that price, you can get a nicely equipped Thinkpad T43p.

feel free to just send them to me im sure i will like them

my advice is get a program called "monolingual" to get rid of the 1.2+ gigs of languages that are automatically installed.
i would also suggest not using IE on it. microsoft stopped supporting/updating it and now a lot of sites like banking and whatnot are a pain in the ass through it. get rid of safari. dont even look at it. its worthless.

Feel free to send me your multi thousand dollar devices.

On a related note. I don't have a PC at home and have been thinking about buying the mini. All I need it for would be internet, email, etc...I'm not a gamer at all except for the XBox.

Opinions?

i have been advised, at my job (by an apple dude), not to buy the mini because we tend to keep them on all the time and they seem to have a "scorching" problem.

You don't want it; I'll give you $1499 for it NIB.

 

[chimmytime]

15" screen is hard to beat.

1 gig of RAM, and Super Drive a must

One thing I love about Apple laptops is their resale value.

Don't keep it too long and you can sell it for a lot of what you paid for it. As I did
