Is 40GB enough for iBook?

Yikes, $200 for the 100GB upgrade? that's really expensive! If you don't need all your music and such with you all the time, An external Firewire drive would be much cheaper.

My current thinking is to buy the stock 12" iBook from Amazon for $900 (after rebate) and put in a 5400-rpm 100GB hard drive at Compusa. That will cost me about $200 but I will get a faster iBook afterward. It is also cheaper than the BTO at Apple.

Yeah, but warranty issues may be a problem. If you do what you want to do, Apple could claim no responsibility for problems that you have. If you go this route, get the extended warranty from CompUSA.

Actually Compusa has certified Apple tech and is listed on apple.com.
