Maybe a new switcher...

Hi all!

First, sorry for my bad English. I live in Québec, Canada and my first language is French...

My mom just got a new job, so she will buy me a notebook. I like the 12" Ibook, for his size and battery life. I have check many PC laptop, but they were so big, heavy and with a lame battery life, like 1.5 to 3 hours.

The notebook will be use for Internet, listening DVD and word-excel-powerpoint stuff. I'm not planning to play games or to do video-photo editing stuff. Do you think the Ibook is perfect for that? Also, I want to keep this computer at least 3 years (I will finish my study in 3 years, 1 year of CEGEP and 2 years of University). Do you think the Ibook is powerful enough to be good during all those years?

(all in canadian dollar)
Ibook 1349$
AirPort Card 101$
.mac Bundle 99$
Ipod 20 GB 389$
= 1938$ + tax = 2229,18$

Cram and Jam = 275$
So 2229,18$ - 275$ = 1954,18$

I think thats a great price for all that stuff. If I convert in US dollar, thats 1469.01$

Thx for the reply!

The Powerbook is 1898$


PB 1898$ + Ipod 389$ + tax = 2630.62$

With C and J rebate, thats 2355.62$.

So, 401$ more for the Powerbook. I will have to think about that... And if I'm not takint the .mac stuff with the Ibook, thats more than 500$.

All the prices i said were with the student discount.

Ok thx.

I have another question. Currently, my Internet connexion is separated with a D-Link router (not wireless) for my Playstation 2 and my Dell desktop. If i want to be wireless with my notebook, what i will have to do? Buy a wireless router (but i will need 2 ports to connect my PS2 and the desktop) or keep my router and buy a AirPort Express? That's possible to plug the AirPort Express on my current router?

Some questions again...

A software like Kazaa is available on Mac? And can I chat on mIRC servers with a Mac?

I appreciate for the answers!
