I was searching for a cheap apple laptop, because I am a high-school student and would like to have my own computer before I go off to college. I found the website gainsaver.com and found some very inexpensive ibooks on it. I was thinking of getting the iBook notebook 12.1" 700 MHz G3 Apple computer M8860LL/A. There are some upgrades you can get, of which I was thinking of getting the 120GB hard drive, 640MB memory, and installation of airport card. The total comes to 6.
So I was wondering.. First of all, is gainsaver.com a good website? Do you know if I would get a good, reliable computer from this website? Also, would this be a good computer for me period? I would probably install photoshop on the computer and maybe AOL, but probably not many other major programs. Of course I would have itunes and my 1000+ songs for my ipod touch. But I’m not using this computer for anything major.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks!!

If you google "gainsaver.com reviews" you will hit some websites with customer reviews about the site. As for the laptop itself photoshop does take some memory to run (at least cs3 and cs4 versions do). See if you can get it to 1gb of ram if possible and you should be good. I have a MacBook pro with 2gb and runs photoshop without a problem. If you plan to multitask programs with photoshop you may see a lag depending what you are doing. Since you say nothing major, I would say you would be fine. But see if you can get more ram into it if possible (ram more important than disk space since programs run off the ram to do all its work, and you can always buy an external if you need more room).
