the apple store online http://tinyurl.com/4c9q has refurbished macs all
the time with free shipping. Go to the SAVE link on the right of the
page. The list is updated daily, I think at 7am west coast time. The
iBook is heavier than the powerbook, the case more durable, it's
cheaper and the superdrive is not available with the 12" model. You can
compare the two at this same website. Not all the refurbished come with
the airport card, so read the specs on each one. If you don't see what
you want, check the next day. A 1.33 GHz with a combo drive is going
for $900 today and $1000 for one with a superdrive. My biggest
complaint about my iBook, is the letters on the keys started wearing
off after one month of use, and continue to do so. An Apple rep at Comp
USA told me to learn to type by touch.
I don't know what's inside the eMac but assuming it's got a USB port,
you can use a wireless USB network adapter to access a wireless router.
I use the wireless G from Belkin for my iMac.

Hi
I have an eMac at present which has served me very well and is still
going
strong. I was thinking of purchasing a used iBook or PowerBook so I
could use it
on the road or anywhere with WiFi access.
Firstly, iBook or PowerBook? is the only difference that the PowerBook
has card
slots and the iBook doesn't?
Secondly, what sort of price would I get for my eMac. It has been
upgraded.
1Ghz processor, 768MB RAM, Pioneer 109 DVDRW and 80GB HD. Currently
running 10.4.3.
Thirdly, if I decide to keep my eMac what wireless options do I have.
If I was to buy a Apple laptop I would want one with at least 1Ghz
processor the
rest is upgradeable at a later date.
