Love those Titaniums... in fact... notice how head designer at Apple revolutionized the computer world when those first Tibooks came out...

and notice how he kept the industrial design looks of the tibook for the MacBook Air, new Mac books and MBPs?

Only limit on Tibooks is max 1 gig ram. And they are a tad wide after the 12” screens. I had one back in the day as well as the first 400, and a 667mhz, too.

I kind of like having the last revision of the PPC lines... Good price on the Tibook, and I’ve seen late model G4s for good prices like that...

Thanks for the great advice - exactly the kind I figured I would get

We are on the hunt this weekend for something. The tech guy at her school will be able to get her laptop to limp along for a little while, but a replacement is in the works.

My interest in Macs has to do with the reported durability. Is it really that good? or is it just the hype? It just doesn’t seem to be an honest business practice to sell a product that routinely causes problems, such as Windows/PC’s. Her laptop was a well-rated one and it has only lasted about 2 years and it isn’t even used that heavily.

So, with suggestions in hand, I will start my search.

Thanks again

Yeah, the TiBook styling was revolutionary. It looks great, and the aluminum ones build on it and look even a little better. I’m the high bidder at the moment on a super clean 1GHz TiBook on eBay. My max bid is $250 and the auction ends today but I doubt it’ll sell quite that cheaply. But if it does — wow, that’s a great little computer for a song. I’m also bidding on a clean 17” 1.67GHz AlBook, another great one.

I can’t wait to get a Mac!
