dont know any specs...what do you think

updated for mac nazis

its one of the slightly older ones that you could get in diff colors
 
Uh... Where are you getting this from? If it's one of the newer white/grey ones then I would personally take it for 50 (assuming it works). If you don't need it though, I guess there is no point.
 
get it if it works. for $50 you can try out the "other" platform and see what it's all about. Plus if it really is a notebook then even cheap ones are nice for a portable word processor.

And, you can play Marathon on it if you haven't before.

For $50 the machine might be too old to run the game. Especially since the OP doesn't even know WTF he's talking about.
 
I am curious, where are you finding an ibook for $50? And can, say, I get one for that price as well? 🙂

You're thinking about buying something whose name you don't even know. YOU SHOULD LEARN THEM. Did you see an iMac notebook on apple.com?
 
I wouldn't get it. It would ruin your mac experience being so old and probably only runs OS 8.6 or something disgusting like that (anything that's not OS X isn't worth it IMHO). It may be able to run OS X, but it'll be really slow (assuming this is a clamshell iBook).

I believe all iBooks are able to run OS X (at least through X.3).
 
They all can, and in general get faster on each diff release of OS.X gotta love it... Each new OS apple releases is FASTER! 😀
