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.

Hmmm... Wifi in Ireland? How good are the hotels you are staying in? Not surprisingly, I haven't stayed in many hotels in Ireland, but I don't think that it's going to be available in many places. You might be lucky though!
For a country that is a big producer of computers and electronics, internet facilities for everyday people still aren't the best. Broadband is only starting to take off now there.
You'll most likely find decent internet cafes in Limerick (it has a big student population), but it might not be so easy in New Ross. You might have to resort to dial up there.
