I am wondering if you all can help me out. I went to Compusa today to check out the new ibook, but of course, they were out and they did not have floor model. I am going to order a 12" Apple laptop today, and the ibook is the only one I have not seen. So, if anyone can snap a quick pic for me, I would appreciate it! Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

I wouls still say eBay. Apple.com gives very limited pictures and views of the iBook. Also, they take the pictured of the iBook in perfect lighting, so it doesn't look quite the same.

no problem.
eBay is where I always go when I want to see a picture of a product in a "real life situation".

I have a TiBook, and my wife has the 12" G4 iBook. I'll snap some pics when I get home tonight. Any aspects of it you are particularly interested in?
I will be happy to take pictures of my iBook for you, just let me know. Hit me up on AIM Pilgrims Pro, or send an email to johnmartin@jmartinjr.com.
A thickness shot, I want to see how thick it is compared to the PB. Now, your PB will be a little thinner then the 12" PB I am looking at, but it will still help me guage the thickness. Compusa just called me and they have an ibook in now. But, they will not open it up unless I want it. I can understand because I would not want an open box, but still, they need a display model.
Sweet, thanks a ton! I think these are big enough.

Hey! First you helped me with my router and now this. How much am I going to owe you.
LOL....no problem man. Anytime. Are you getting rid of the PB, or just adding a new laptop?
It is significantly thicker. I'm guessing by at least a quarter inch. But it is also far sturdier than my TiBook. No flexing when you hold it from an edge.
Yeah, I just sold it on ebay. I am going back to school, so I needed the portability. So I sold it and had enough to order a 17" 1.25 imac for the house and an G4 800 ibook or a refurb 12" 867PB. I am still deciding between the ibook and PB. How do you like yours?
I chose the 14" iBook, cause I wasn't able to justify the cost of the PB. I really like my iBook and do not regret the decision of getting it over the PB at all. One reason I cheaped out on the laptop was because I am buying a G5 sometime this summer
If you're talking about the 12"PB versus the 12"iBook, I'd have to say iBook. Unless you absolutely need a superdrive, or DVI or the 1.25Gigs of (pricey) RAM, or the extra 200Mhz the iBook is a much better value for the money.
He's talking about $75 extra.
I'd pay that just to get the metal casing.
The 12" PowerBook also has better speakers, Bluetooth standard, and a better keyboard.
