I'm just curious, since you claim to know nothing about Macs, why get her one? Did she ask for one? If so, you are a cool parent... you won't regret it and she definitely will not!!!vcinsb said:My daughter is a college student (business) one year to go...which notebook ibook or pb, would be ideal for her situation?

I have a 12" PB, and am a third year in college. I would choose PB over iBook not only because of the power, but also because it LOOKS more elegant/ polished (which may come into play for a business major), and for me, because it is lighter. Yes, I know it's only 0.3 lbs difference, but hey, when I'm walking around on campus, especially on a hot day, it makes a difference!

Without knowing too much about your daughter's business program, I would suggest getting the cheaper iBook as it will fill her needs, but if you want her to have the best then a PowerBook is the way to go.
