    Just want to see what you guys think. I have an option to get an old powerbook g4 12 inch screen for cheap. Specs are something like 867cpu/640?mbs ram/80gb drive. Now I am not looking to do anything with this other than general internet usage and exploring macs as I am a pc user. I am also really interested just because of the screen size. I have been looking for a smaller lappy but I didn't want to buy new because I am going to buy a desktop replacement 17' laptop in the near future. This will be my "go-to" laptop for online school, carry around applications (when I need a laptop but its a hassle to bring the big dog), and other smaller general usage.

    Anyone have any opinions of this laptop?

    Thanks!

    I personally love the pb 12" notebook. My old roommate had one and it was just brilliant. He could slip it into his stack of regular notebooks if he wanted to hide it!

    Also, you may want to consider getting the .Mac service if you're to have two apple notebooks so that you can sync them up with ease.
