She's graduating in 3 weeks and wanted to buy a 17" through Edu discount (I suggested the developer discount).

Airport card, 512MB and buy the memory somewhere else? Which portable printer is good right now? Cannon or HP?


I have an AGP 400 G4 and think an airport basestation would be a good idea when she comes by to work and do her color outputs.

Any other suggestions?

Airport extreme is built in. Same goes for the memory - 512MB ought to be plenty. I'm not even sure if they are optional. Personally, I had been through 3 Canon printers and now have an HP - my vote is on HP.

My advice is get an Epson printer. I bought an HP and the drivers kept messing up on me. Their support for mac is very all that great. I ended up returning my HP and went back to Epson because I had an old Epson printer for my old mac and that lasted me for 5 years and it still works! So, maybe you should look at an Epson. Either one is fine but I think Epson really has great mac support.
