Hi guys,
Well my IT analyst job is going OK, so I am doing a lo of traveling (personal and business), and I feel the need for a portable. But my paycheque doesn't look too good enough to buy a MBA, or a newer Intel Macbook. I have abudget of about £150-200 TOPS! (I could just get a Windows notebook, but ehh!)
So I was having a butchers around eBay and saw a fair few iBooks, some with and without problems, and I was just wondering if it would be a good idea buying one?
How reliable are they? Does anyone still service them, as for the infamous Logic Board issues, how expensive is that to fix? I will be using it for nothing but internet, emails and word documents, and music here and there, but nothing too extreme.
So what do you guys think?
edit: Like this for example, I am a PC repair guy deep down, so trying to fix this will be , unless it's a more serious fault: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200418829789#description. I think I can get batteries for under £40, so it will be a great little deal!
Cheers,
