Getting a windows base laptop for my ibook

Well soon ill be receiving my ibook from IRC. However, i want a windows based laptop and not a mac. What would be the best way to do this? Ebay the Ibook? Get store credit? Anyone wanna trade? I need opinions here )

Ebay or trade. I dont know how you are going to get store credit for something that you didnt buy at a store. If you did get store credit at apple, you would still only be able to get a mac.

store credit at compusa, they are apple dealers and will take it.

I sold mine on ebay, used the paypal and bought another windoze laptop off ebay

you should try the ibook before you sell it
you will like it.

Why don't you want to try out an iBook?

if nothing else play with it for an hour in a store and have a saleperson who knows what they are talking about go over the features.

i have 1 id trade, lol you all will laugh...

Dell Latitude
Windows XP Pro
256 mb memory
6 GB Hard Drive

wanna trade? lol

Ah, I see. I think I'm just gonna get a Powerbook, and then I'll get a laptop that has Vista on it with my notebooks4free money. D

yea j4320, get the powerbook. i dont regret spending $2500 on it at all (not being sarcastic).its weird to see a lot of people getting into macs now. but the more people that do get into it the more developers there will be.

crynos, there is a mac version of almost every program out.
office 2003 = office 2004 or OpenOffice.org
firefox = firefox
aim/trillian/gaim = adium
mIRC = iRC
VLC = VLC
NewsLeecher = iGrabNews
FlashFXP = Transmit
Notepad = TextEdit
Adobe CS2 = Adobe CS2

Alright, thanks for the recommendation. I'm pretty sure I'll keep the iBook. The only other program besides Firefox that I use a lot is photoshop and occasionally dreamweaver. But I have dreamweaver on my desktop along with flash and stuff so I don't really need it on my Powerbook.

I just want a good solid latptop that is good at picking up wireless networks, and has pretty good battery life, and has good power.

osx is built on bsd and inherently hard to infect or infect to a point you can't fix it with console.
