Apple Apple is holding their European Expo and nowadays being a Mac owner thought I'd go along. If Apple has such a pitiful market share then you'd expect it to be a small show with little software and few visitors. Er No, this was the complete opposite. Pictures of the Expo included.

Just bought an ibook
by azazel on Wed 15th Sep 2004 12:34 UTC

At education prices on the Australian Apple website, a 12" ibook starts at $1525. I added 256MB RAM and 10GB more disk to get a 1GHz G4 iBook with 512MB RAM and 40GB disk, DVD ROM and CD Writer. Total was $1698 Australian Dollars.

That's pretty decent for a low end laptop. It certainly doesn't feel low end, it's actually pretty fast. I've never used an Apple before, and so far I've been really blown away. I've never felt really excited about a new computer before, but the iBook is such a nice experience. I love all the little animations and all the nice little touches they add all around the place.

I still have a desktop PC (AMD 64 3200+ running Mandrake 10/win2k) because I like doing PC things sometimes (like playing games). If you're looking for a cheapish laptop to complement your desktop PC, I would highly recommend an ibook. (gee I sound like one of those gushing Apple fans now, ugh - it's contagious)
