I ordered a brand spanking new iBook last week, for $1250 including tax, 1150 without, I got a 1.2ghz 12\" (a 14 or 15\" laptop is just way to big) with 768mb RAM, 60GB hard drive.  www.apple.com/ibook

Im should be getting it in a week.  :D

I have a question. Why is it that every apple computer I see always has odd Ram numbers like 754MB, 489MB & not even like 512MB, 256MB, and 1024MB? Even there clock speeds are not an even number sometimes.

You won't catch AMD selling an Athlon 64 @ 2.66 GHz, but Intel you will.

because most macs come with 256mb ram, as in case with the older bowl shaped imacs it had 256 in an internal slot and then had an extra user upgradeable slot that you could stick another 512 into, to get 768.  My iBook has 256 built into the mobo so then I added a card with 512.  Do some math.  :huh:   Oh, apple doesnt lie about clock speed like most companies.  On the ibook, the bus is 133 so you multiply that by 10 or 9 and you get 1.33 and 1.2.  In several cases you will get a mac and it will be rated for a certain Ghz but it will have a few extra.

I see. Well, I have to admit that a slower clocked apple can take on a higher clocked PC. :)

No? Why, there isn't enough support or something :)

I did hear that Mac's are better in 3D Graphic's and such.

Macs are awesome for DVD editing and graphics.

Stability? Eh..;) I've heard mixed reviews. Some say OSX is the most unstable; others, vice versa.

I-life looks pretty cool.

I have always liked Apple's GUI's. They look very 'linuxy.'  :wub:

It's too bad that Apple abandoned the mouse they actually designed if I am not mistaken. :)

Nice choice. Perhaps, you should've waited for a PowerBook? Hear those are nice!  :wub:
