Just got my 12 ibook

Hey Guys just got my 12 ibook (refurb) from an apple store. I bought this laptop to carry with me when I am on the road. Battery life, portability and price were main factors. I was seriously considering the 12 PB, but after much debate I settled with the ibook because it was around $400 cheaper. The size factor was not much of a difference. I bought this machine for $799 plus tax. I will tell you guys this I am really really impressed with the amount of features that you get with this machine. I will soon post pictures of this notebook and also review.

Where you able to pick that up at the retail store, or did you order on-line?

I am in the market for the ibook and would like to get a refurbished one to save on the money, but I can't get it on-line because I am travelling - I need to be able to pick up at the retail store, so if you know anything about this, please let me know.

Also; I was dead set on buying the ibook, but then I heard rumors the ibook will be "replaced" by the new Macbook. I am now in two minds about getting the ibook as I think I should wait for the Macbook. At this time of uncertainty, with the update imminent, it annoys me that apple has not reduced its prices to encourage people (like me) to buy the ibook. The Macbook will, without a doubt, launch with a premium price over the ibook and it will put it out of my budget ($1000). So this swings the ibook more in my favour. What was your main reason for buying the ibook now?

You can go to any apple store and ask them for a refurbished system they have. They have it in the back and they dont display or announce it in the store. They are usually systems that are either returned by other people or the demo units. If you know some one working in the apple store then when the mac book pro comes in all the demo units of the powerbook will be gone into the refurb area. You can buy a 15 inch PB for less than 1000. You can buy refurbished system at an apple retail store.

Very cool. Get to experience iLife 06 too. Also, I would consider getting Apple Care. Because one minor problem might end up costing you more than what you paid for the iBook itself.
