Cons: One button trackpad drives me nuts sometimes. from Shopping.com I had this notebook for a few months, having switched from the PC to the Mac platform. OSX is a contender... from Amazon.com I got this iBook, and it is really awesome with all of the software, and I am really impressed with MAC OS X, but I ran into a little trouble with my 30 gb hard drive a couple days ago, so I had to get rid of all my music, and clean out junk to get more hard drive. I would recommend this to a web surfin' e-mail, basic type of guy, or a student. from Amazon.com I bought this iBook to upgrade my son's 1 yr old iBook G3 - which I sold on eBay for a couple hundreds less. Like another reviewer, I figured USB2.0, a faster CPU+bus, a faster airport, plus a new AppleCare coverage justify the small cost difference. from Amazon.com Why be the tiny 2% of all PC users and use an OS that's outdated and SLOOOOOW and sold by a company whose CEO thinks he's god? You can think you look cool or "unique" but carrying an Apple product just marks you a freak, an elitist. Take this iBook for example. from Amazon.com I love Apple, I have no problem with the fact that they aren't the fastest computes in the world. I but them because I like the styling a lot and I like having a unix based OS. from Amazon.com
