Opinions Requested.... the iBook

[kybearfuzz]

I got my final itinerary for my trip to Ireland today. I leave in two weeks.

• June 24 to July 1st -- Limerick, Ireland
  
• July 1st to July 8th -- New Ross, Co Wexford, Ireland
  
• July 8th to July 15th -- Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England
  

I am pondering buying an iBook for the trip with the built-in Airport connection for the wireless internet. I emailed all of my hotels to see if WIFI is available at their locations and am still waiting for a response.

Does anyone in LJ-land have an iBook? What's your opinion of it? I have a G4 tower at home, and I love my Mac stuff. I'm looking at the 12 inch iBook because I figure it would be easy to transport. I have a work laptop, but it has so much security I can't surf the web with it without dialing in to DC.

Why yes, I do have an iBook and a G4 tower at home too. :) This is a pretty fine combination. The iBook is used mostly for surfing and email. In fact, I have the 12 inch iBook G3 and it does a great job at that and is so easy to transport that I cary it AND my work laptop (a PowerBook) back and forth each day. :) Keeping the personal business on the personal laptop.

So, in conclusion, I say go for it. You might want to look on Apple's refurb site. You can find some fantastic deals if you don't want the latest and greatest AND with the recent Intel announcement you won't be taking a bath on it quite so much ;)

Good luck.
