The Bottom Line:
Fantastic laptop if you don't need DVD & CD-RW capabilities. You'll never notice the speed difference between these and the newer 800 MHz units.
This little laptop changed my life. It's faster than my G4/350 and soooo small and quiet, it has become my main computer. I got it refurbed from Apple and my only gripe is that I did not get the model with a DVD/CD-RW burner in it. Aside from those limitations, the 12" LCD display is even cleaner than many 15's because it directly addresses the hardware inside the machine and it has smaller pixels, resulting in a super-sharp picture, althought pretty small. So, you have to sit closer, you get used to it.... it's like reading a printed page on your desk. The battery life is accurately tracked and excellent (around 4 hours plus). I bought 256mb extra with mine for an extra $100 and I highly recommend the same; OS 10 should never be run on less than 256mb.
