There are many downside... eg 512MB memory (promotion - free another 512MB), 14.1-inch TFT Display, ATI Mobility Radeon 9550, 32MB DDR video memory, 60GB Ultra ATA hard drive. <br /><br />For around the same price, I could get Acer Aspire 5600 series (Core Duo Processor T2300 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM), Hard drive 100 GB, Graphics ATI Mobility Radeon X1400, Diagonal screen size 15.4 inch Glossy Display (beautiful).<br /><br />As I never own any Mac, the only good I can see now is stable Operating System and the super good look of an iBook. But it has only 32MB video RAM. I believe this is not enough for gaming or any high graphic activities (btw, I play WC3 Dota). I brought this up to the sales person and was told that I should close all my other programs before running the game. But I still have my doubt. He also advised me that this machine can&#39;t run World of Warcraft (WOW) smoothly <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--><br /><br />Any one out there ever use an iBook to play WC3/WOW? Is it really that bad? <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br /> wmyong73 Apple Byte Sun, 19 Mar 2006 23:19:55 +0800
