I have a hunch that Techrestore/Apple Refurbished store offer more often than not the following configs for the ~comparable price:
The factory-refurbished Apple iBook G4/1GHz notebook with 12.1" LCD, 256MB RAM, 30GB hard drive, and CD-ROM drive again costs $699 direct from The Apple Store.
TechRestore.com offers the refurbished Apple iBook G3/800 notebook with 12.1" LCD, 256MB RAM, 30GB hard drive, and CD-ROM drive for $449.99, $80 off
the refurbished Apple PowerBook G3/500 "Pismo" notebook with 14.1" LCD, 256MB RAM, 12GB hard drive, and DVD-ROM drive for $399.99
The refurbished Apple iBook G3/700 notebook with 12.1" LCD, 256MB RAM, 20GB hard drive, and DVD-CDRW combo drive costs $510 at TechRestore.com
which system would be a better buy for running Tiger + usual office stuff + browsing + occasional photo/video editing + watching DVDs? (I understand I have to add more RAM, DVD drive, Airport card)
thanks in advance
