I thought this was a good read, but here is another view and a way to have only $200-250 invested in an ibook after you sell. If you bought an ibook now, whch costs around $740-750 brand new and shipped you would have a better investment so to speak. Try www.dealmac.com they have been running specials from vendors for weeks. That ibook will have a 700 Mhz processor or more, can run X, panther, and so on. Also, if you wanted to sell it next year, I bet it fetches close to $550 on ebay. So that is another way to have a $200 laptop. You pay more up front, but you can sell it later and you would only have around $200-250 in it after you sell and buy something else. The laptops that were mentioned in the article will be worth even less next year. And really no many would want them now.
