Summary: Just Right
Review: perfect for the average user... probably not for a pc gamer... but for email, managing my music supply, papers, cruising the web, and all the other basic daily computer tasks i do... wouldn't need anything more...

Summary: 14" iBook - Great Deal!
Review: This is a great deal for a portable Mac. Superdrive, DVD, iMovie, iTunes, iPhoto and OS X, firewire, ethernet. I am extremely pleased with the package! As for those reviewers giving this a bad rap, I can only imagine that they are running dated software (DOH!) and must express doubt that they know what they're doing. Probably Windows users looking to bash the Mac. Sorry, but if you're looking to move into the future, for work, for school, for design, for entertainment, you can't beat this. Not to mention the oohs and ahs you're sure to attract. The only thing you need, really is to up the measly 256 ram to the max. You'll be cooking with gas in no time. This is one slick machine.
