    Try here, here, and here. Also, don't forget Ebay. There must be tons of Macs of all types and prices there. If you happen on a good Mac site that doesn't have its own trading forum, just post a thread in one of the other forums asking the same question you asked in this thread. If you tell them you're a PC user who is ashamed of his past, and wants to convert to Appleism, they'd bend over backwards to help you.

    I wasn't making fun of you. You are right. Apple does make very nice laptops.

    If you want to run OSX without tearing your hair out because it's so damn slow, you're gonna need at least a 700MHz-1GHz CPU and 512MB of RAM. Keep that in mind...

    Not necessarily :rolleyes: I have several customers who use 10.3 on G4 450s, and they run just fine. OS X is smooth if you have a good 3D adapter, since Quartz heavily uses the GPU for interface drawing, rather than the CPU.

    Prime, my 450 has a Radeon 8500 in it. It's got 640MB of RAM and a Maxtor 7200rpm/8MB 80GB hard drive. It runs 10.2.8. It's slower than ****. It's so slow it's pathetic. I've run Windows XP on 450MHz P2 machines (and 500Mhz Celeron machines) with less RAM than this and far slower video cards and they're useable. The 450 doesn't qualify as "useable", even with the 8500.

    then it must be user error ;)

    doesn't matter what you tell me - I have 10.3 running very successfully on G4 450s with 256mb of RAM, and it runs just perfectly fine. Apps run slower than they do on a faster computer, for sure, but the OS itself runs great for "normal" use - email, web, word processing :)

    *shrugs* Open up more than one or two windows and the whole machine chokes. It can't even keep up with my typing.
