Hey,

This is for my stepbrother, who is 12 and really wants an apple laptop, I have a MBP and he really likes the styling but the MBP would be overkill for a 12 year old. I recommended the powerbook, with similar styling but less power (more outdated anyway) at a cheaper price. I also showed him the macbook and although he prefers the powerbooks styling, the Macbooks have more power. He currently has a 1.6 GHz gateway with 2GB of ram and 128MB vram. He would like to sell that (hence the WTT). So if anyone has a laptop fitting those criteria, please post. It would also be nice if they would like the Gateway plus cash.

I forgot to mention that he got the gateway for christmas of 07 so it is practically brand new.

he also said that he didn't like the ibooks
