Hey all,

I"m planning to replace my old laptop and I'm thinking to buy an iBook.
One iBook with the following specs will cost me about 1500?

1GHz PowerPC G4
.. 512K L2 cache @ 1GHz
.. M???? 512MB DDR SDRAM PC2100
.. ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 ?? AGP 4x
.. 32MB DDR SDRAM video memory
( maximum resolution 1024 X 768 pixels. 24 bit color)
.. 14.1" TFT XGA
.. 40GB Ultra ATA drive
.. Internal DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo drive
.. internal modem 56K V.92
.. 2 USB 2.0
.. Firewire 1394 (400Mbps)
.. 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet
.. S-Video and composite video output
.. VGA video output (mirroring) with Apple VGA Display Adaptor
.. AirPort Extreme ready
.. Mac OS X v10.3 ??? Classic
.. Apple TrackPad

Software:
Mac OS X 10.3, Classic, AppleWorks, QuickTime, iLife( includes iTunes,
iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD),GarageBand, DVD Player, Mac OS X Mail, Microsoft
Internet Explorer, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, Deimos Rising, Sound Studio,

Are there any disadvantages buying an iBook instead of a x86 laptop?
Can I find at the same price a better x86 laptop? Any suggestions?

Thank you all,
Elias
