Help!! 800mhz ibook v. 1.2 ghz ibook,New Mac user

[TinyLawDiva]

Hi!! I'm going nuts, I am a brand new Mac person who just purchased an 12 inch 800mhz ibook that hasnt even arrived yet ( I thought that was the highest processor!) But I found out today that there are 1.2 ghz ibooks. Are there any obvious and crippling differences between the two besides speed? Would i be better to resell the 800 and purchase a 1.2 ghz? Please Help!!!!

besides the fact that its a 50% step up in processor speed, no

btw how much did you buy it for? macs have an unbelievable resell market on ebay.

I actually got the 800 from ebay, I didnt do good enough research I suppose but i didn't now about processor speeds and never even thought to look until recently. Thanks alot for your input, I didnt thinkt here was really a big difference but thought mayeb I'd be better off witht he 1.2. Thanks again!

The new iBooks offer more for your money than previous models. I would cancel the order from ebay and get the new ones.



Come on people everyone is not in the Mac space and technically inclined to know this information from the get-go. Cut this individual a break.

Is this a G3 800 mhz or a G4 800 mhz? Thats a big difference in itself.
