I'm in total agreement with Simon. Steer clear of iBooks. It's a bit
like the ads you see on TV where someone's car is under water but the
seller fakes their sales notice to say something like: "Pre-owned
car, recently washed!"
The motherboards in general for the iBooks had infamous problems with
a recall involved at one point.
Powerbook G4 all the way. You can get them refurbished for around $400.
