A tree uses what comes its way to nurture itself. By sinking its roots deeply into the earth, by accepting the rain that flows towards it, by reaching out to the sun, the tree perfects its character and becomes great. Absorb, absorb, absorb. That is the secret of the tree. - Deng Ming-Dao

New Mac for college

A friend needed a recommendation for a Mac for a college student who has always lived in the PC world. I thought an iBook would fill the bill, giving enough size, power and still be portable for those trips to the lab, home, to friends’ rooms, etc.

This was my recommendation.

M9623LL/A
1.2 GHz G4 processor
FireWire 400
USB 2.0 2 ports
Ethernet 10/100, 56K modem
Airport Extreme
Combo drive (reads and writes CDs, reads DVDs)

Audio
Built-in speakers, stereo headphone jack, built-in microphone

Video
VGA video output for external display or projector, adapter included
S-video and composite video output to TV or projector (needs Video Adapter)

Battery
50-watt-hour lithium-ion battery provides up to 6 hours (not really, that’s if it’s not doing anything)

Size and weight
Height: 1.35 inches
Width: 11.2 inches
Depth: 9.06 inches
Weight: 4.9 pounds

Options:
bluetooth yes
256 SDRAM
80GB ATA HD
AppleCare


Total $1425 plus tax ($120.00)


RAMM from Apple 1GB is $500.00
RAMM from DMS 1 GB is $162.00 including shipping.

$1700.00 Total for the iBook, tax, RAMM, AppleCare

Well, this morning I found out they went to the Apple Store and got a G5 iMac, not portable, but oh so beautiful.

We’ll see if she is happy with her choice.

What do you think?
