 BUYER BEWARE, Sep 18, 2023
In helping my girlfriend choose a laptop, we eventually decided on a 14" iBook which she bought directly from Apple over the phone. After a few days with the iBook in her apartment, she realized it was too big and wanted to exchange it for the 12" iBook. APPLE WOULD NOT LET HER RETURN IT OR EXCHANGE IT EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD ONLY HAD IT FOR A FEW DAYS.
On the phone they said that because she had chosen the DVDrom instead of the burner that it was "customized" and couldn't return it. After insisting for hours they finally said they would exchange it and charge her a 10% (!!!) restocking fee. However, choosing between a DVDrom ($100 cheaper) and a burner is one of three basic choices you can make when buying it the normal way over Apple's website. It was not custom ordered. They claimed they had told her this over the phone when she bought it but this simply isn't true--she was given no warning.
I STRONGLY suggest you inquire about their return policy before dealing with Apple. Get it in writing if possible. Apple has a rosy image but can act as corporate thieves just like the worst of them.

 iBook 12" 1.2 GHz G4, Sep 10, 2023
Anyone who knows Macs knows that this is a good machine. Much more than adequate for non-power users. My only disappointment was that I was concerned that a 30GB hard drive may not be enough. It would, but it came with nearly 15GB already filled. If you need hard drive space, get a bigger drive.

Best Price - Quality ratio ever, Aug 30, 2023
I was thinking about buying a mac for a long time. Finally after many discussions with collegues and friends I bought this computer.. and now I have just one word: Awesome.
- Everything on this computer is very well designed (good looking and functionabillity).
- It is very easy to use, and very reliable. Software is easy to install, and due to the OS (osX) is based on linux, applications rarely crashes (I had just one crash in 1 month).
I really love it, and I've seen that many scientists use this computer (or Power book) for stabillity reason.
I recomend it.. the osX is far ahead from windows.

Apple iBook 12" 1.2 GHz G4, Aug 28, 2023
Into my encrypted wireless network on first try.
Used it as a DVD player on long trip - stick in a DVD and it plays on its own just like it should.
Booted pressing "T" to startup as a firewire disk and transferred everything from my old G3 in very little time (and that was running the old OS).
Yes there are cheaper non-Macs but if your time has value then this thing catches up pretty fast.

Desktop power in a portable form factor, Aug 10, 2023
When you're a grown-up, "toys" include notebook computers, and this is a honey. Between the combo drive and the built-in WiFi antenna, you've got just about everything covered, everything you'd want to do (homework? No, watch a DVD!) is wrapped up in one tight little package, and it's fast enough to run OSX, which is the best OS I've ever used, and I'm old and crusty. Battery life is always an issue with any notebook. And it's usually overstated. I'd look into buying a second battery if I were you.
I'm a dedicated Apple user, and I'd say that this notebook is a tremendous value!!!
