Default Re: Apple iBook question

Hugh,

If you think of the refurb iBook for doing tasks more along the lines of a netbook, than a notebook, that is to say, mostly email and websurfing, with a small percentage of other apps, and no really intense applications, it should be fine. It will be sluggish for photographic work like lightroom or photoshop, if you plan on doing that, but would be fine as a simple display device for your photo work.

Do not count on the battery pack to be worth a crap though. These are old systems, the batteries are probably nearing the end of their useful life.

Going from windows to mac is an easier learning curve than the other way around. Getting used to the single button mouse will probably be the biggest hurdle, if that tells you anything.
