Anyone else out there? These seem like an odd machine that nobody really talks much about, rather it's all about those 12"
I got mine over the summer from Robby (iAmMacPerson) and it's been a fantastic machine. I had a 12" at the time but ultimately sold it as the 14" is in pristine shape. Has two brand new batteries, one with 40 cycles and one that has 1 charge cycle on it. The story behind this one is pretty neat, Robby found it at a Frys store Open Box late last year. Sat on a shelf for years. Last iBook battery in any Frys location. Still had a 38% charge!!
I do find the 14" a rather odd machine, just a 12" but bigger! Same screen resolution just 2" bigger. This iBook is a 2005 model with the 1.42GHz, AirPort, and Bluetooth. The greatest thing I find with these machines is two finger tap and two finger scrolling. Just like my MBP!
I spilt coffee all over my MBP last weekend and so far the iBook has been a stellar replacement. Some things I did on the MBP but really can't on the iBook is YouTube and Netflix, but hey, I have an iPad mini that'll work for that!
So that's my story, what's yours? Pic below was in June when I had my 17" 14" and 12", now all that I have is the 14". Would love another 17" someday!
I burn through Macs like a Chevy 350 and gasoline.
