If I had £350 to spend on an apple mac laptop, which would you go for?
I like the look of the alloy ones, but not sure I can get one on my budget

Only second hand for that price. Cheapest Macbook is the basic white at around £600.
I was thinking second hand.
I an used to PC but fancy a change.
What is the difference between all of models?
( What is an ibook, power book etc? )

For 350 you can get a dual core windows laptop with a lot of processing power. Do you really want to waste 350 on some thing that "looks nice".
I have a windows machine and fancy a change. I thought £350 would get me a reasonable machine for web, small photo manipulating etc

Your posts are verging on the troll like. I noticed it in another post yesterday too. Evidently you don't like Apple stuff. Fine. So perhaps you can piss off and keep your nose out of Apple related posts then? There's a good chap.

P,
Yeah. This is a local thread for local people. You must shout the word 'Jobs' a hundred times and begone banshee!

Loads of really good stuff
Thanks a lot CF. Just what I wanted. After reading some of the earlire posts, I have been looking at a 12" PB. I am a sucker for small and square and aluminium. It looks as if I might, if patient, get a 1GHz for around £300.

Well, I have bought a Powerbook 1.5 GHz with an 80GB hard drive. 12" as I love small, and super drive. Built in Airport running OSX tiger.
Paid £380 for it and chuffed to bits. It is mint!

Question removed as I have stumbled upon the answer.
