We bought this computer for home use because I used Apple's at work. Now I work on a PC at work and would much rather have an Apple. The iBook is small, light, convenient to carry around and easy to use. It is so easy to maneaver and remove software etc. I'm very pleased with this computer. My current iBook G4 is 4 years old and my sister is on her second laptop because her Dell crashed. She bought an Apple this time.
