iBook G4 and Me

Sponsored Links

iBook G4I’m going to post several personal stuff today, so if you expect some fresh gadgets and computer news, please hold on. I’ll continue with the regular posting after these :)

Well, anyway, the breaking news for today is.. I finally bought a laptop. Not an ordinary laptop, but an Apple’s iBook G4 laptop. Surprise, huh? I know. At first, I told you that I want this Toshiba’s Satellite R10 Tablet PC. The cheap local brand Axioo Centaur SL 756 was also one of my consideration. Then last month, when I was in a local computer mall, I saw that iBook G4 priced at just $1040. That’s over $60 cheaper than its normal price (note that there are only 3 computer store in my city that sell Apple’s computers), so I rushed inside the store and asked for the detail specs.

Let’s see… 1.33Ghz PowerPC G4 processor with 512K L2 cache, 512MB of DDR SDRAM, 40GB ATA/100 HDD, 12.1-inch TFT LCD screen, WiFI, Bluetooth, 56K modem, Ethernet, and ATI Mobility Radeon 9550 with 32MB of dedicated DDR SDRAM. Those are enough to catch my intention of buying this notebook. Especially since it comes with a small LCD screen, I do really want a small screen laptop. I think it looks much cooler than the large ones.

So that’s it. I ended up buying the iBook G4 laptop. But unfortunately, the stock is currently empty at that time and I have to wait for couple days. Apparently, that “couple days” become “couple weeks” and after almost a month I finally get my hand on my own ultra-cool G4.

Yeah, I’m happy.
