I took the plunge last night and ordered it BTO with Bluetooth and a 60 gig HD. $1,210 too, what a great price.

I wanted the smaller form factor and DVD burning was less of an issue, I have an external one if needed.

I am nervous though. I hope it arrives with everything working perfectly!

Should ship on or before 12/10 and I paid for 2-3 day shipping.

I am so excited.

I had intended to get a Powerbook, but they are on the verge of announcing new models. So I decided to go the iBook route for now, learn and then maybe next year upgrade to a Powerbook (or maybe I won't have to, who knows).

A friend of mine has an iBook and is very happy with it.

I plan to take it home for Xmas and use it to store lots of holiday pictures as well as pictures from where I grew up.

I cannot wait!

Im sure you'll enjoy it! My 1Ghz Ibook is the most satisfying piece of computing technology that I've ever owned.

I just wish I got the newer gen with the airport card included

Nice purchase.

I just purchased a 14'' ibook with 80 gb hd and I've had it for about a week. I upgraded the memory to 768mb immediately. It's been an awesome system so far. I love it.

It shipped earlier this morning from Taiwan. I paid to 2-3 day shipping so I hope that it arrives this weekend.

I just came home about 2 hours ago from the Apple Store and bought the 12" iBook. I ordered a 1 Gig stick too today so it should be here by Wednesday! Woohooo! After my Warranty ends I'll just replace the hardrive.
