And also beware of the infamous GPU problem these suffered. However, if you're looking for games or more than this can offer, get a MacBook. If you're looking for a computer that will run today, the (higher speed) iBook G4s can still take it. My only complaint is no webcam or audio in, though it does include a mic. And of course, the G4 was no joke of a processor-it doesn't crawl like a Celeron or Centrino from the same era, either, and it still gets 4 hours of battery life. And it's light enough I can pick it up with one hand, despite it being a little over half a decade old.

And with Leopard, iTunes 10, two-finger scrolling support, and an upgrade to over 1 GB of RAM, it feels like an early Mac Book with a G4 in it.
It included AltiVec, allowing it to gulp down two registers at the same time, which really feels like an early predecessor to 64-bit in a notebook. But don't think the G4 is a wimpy processor-it's not. Obviously, a 1.2 or 1.33 GHz processor is average in today's world, and handling a modern game, for example, just can't be done on here. The iBook G4 is a serious upgrade from the G3, and really is a different story with performance. But a MacBook or modern netbook may be too expensive-and that's where the iBook G4 has value.
The iBook G3 is cute, but it seriously lags, notably in today's Web, and as a result, I think the only place I'd recommend it is with collectors.
