buy an IBOOK! trust me, although the new netbooks are much nicer than this one

[capnwipe]

UPDATE: i bought the ibook on craiglist from a high school selling of there old equipment, the laptop was ibook was used maybee once or twice, i used it for my digital media class with Final cut express 4 and adobe photoshop, handled them both real well, then i sold the ibook on craigslist and made money on it bc it was so clean, not a scratch on it, as for the eeepc my brother fell asleep listing to music, rolled over on it and crushed it.... still sold it for $100 thought!

wow i didnt expect this much attention on this vid! wow, i wish i still had these computers, i would make a much better one, i just made this bc i was bored!

[jdogtalks]

Wow that's one tinny black laptop computer!

[capnwipe]

@jdogtalks yup thats one of the original net books, the eee pc, but there was one that came out before that and it was terrible



[roger767]

ibook is what, 8 years old. And still it looks like a brand new product. The design still hold up.

[Llyrana7]

Give the iBook a SSD and you can BURN the eeePC...

[Appwq]

I have a 15" PowerBook G4 which is a bit slower than that but I use it for things that nobody buying a netbook would do, video editing with Final Cut Express and After Effects CS3 and Photoshop CS3 for photo editing. If my laptop has served me and my needs for more than 3 years, why upgrade? I am a student and can't afford to upgrade, that's the reason I bought used!

lol i have the same eee and it is so great :)

@austio951 Agreed upgrade the RAM to 1.5GB (1.0GB + 512MB on board), and Hitachi makes a 320GB IDE travelstar 7200RPM hard drive that will give you a very good storage and performance upgrade, while being a very energy efficient and cool running hard drive (both very important considerations - especially for older laptops)

I am running Leopard 10.5.8 with this configuration, and this zippy little 6.5 year old laptop holds it's own against ANY entry level current day laptop ....

[GadgetsGuy]

I just bought the 12" iBook G4 1.2Ghz for my daughter who is going to start college, and is studying photography - she has a Canon Rebel XT that she pairs with the iBook which even at 6.5 years is a very capable laptop, and looks like a brand new product.

If the iBook G4 can keep an 18 year old photography student happy, then it will definitely stand up against (and easily out perform) any new netbook computer!

I paid $178 + 30 S&H for the iBook G4, which was user refurbished, and scratch free

[Chintendoeddman]

Both are great computers. I have an Asus eee pc 105hab and an Apple Powerbook G4 and I love both.
