i need your opinions. do you guys think its worth getting an ibook g4 as my first mac or should i just go with the macbook? i can't really afford the macbook, but is feasible. i've used an ibook g4 back in high school and loved it. would the ibook g4 be a good choice? is there any major problems with them?

The Macbook is MUCH faster than the fastest iBook. The iBooks were always underperformers. You might want to think about a refurbished Macbook. Go to store.apple.com and scroll down to the bottom right where it says something about getting a deal. Or Google "refurbished macbook". They're quite a bit cheaper, and they're covered with a year warranty. Doug

I second going with the MacBook if you can. The G4 chip in the iBook G4 (or ANY G4-based Apple notebook) is just too out-of-date compared to the Intel Core chips in current Apple portables.
