I suggest buying an Apple one.

Seriously, what do you mean? Superdrive vs. combo drive? Hard drive speeds? Whether or not to get a CoolPad?

I suggest getting it.

I've had mine for a few weeks now, and have been very happy with it. One suggestion I have is to not upgrade the RAM directly from Apple. Instead, get the stock 256 MB of RAM and add a stick yourself. You can order from a place like Crucial.

Are you coming to Apple from using PCs, like many of us? What are you planning to do with your PowerBook? Try to give us a little more detail about what you need.

I got mine for a little over a month now.I bring it to school everyday, and I often get the wow factor when I pull it out my bag.

Even if you don't get from Apple (which is overpriced), get more ram from somewhere else.
