"Going to buy an iBook"

Hi everyone,

I'm going to buy an iBook when I go to America this summer, but I wanted to know if there's any compatability problems with using it over here?

Will I need a new battery? I'll obviously need an adapter plug/New power cable.

I really wanted to know if UK software will work and if I load DVD movies to watch will it be NTSC only?

Thanks,

Chips

My mum's is technically okay, but she just keeps messing it up - when it locks up she just turns it off and she lets my niece use it ...

*sigh*

If only I had the money, i'd go out and purchase two items from the Apple Website.

Powerbook G4 17"
20GB iPod

Muh, why do Apple have to be sooooo expensive?

You get what you pay for.

You also get a huge gaping hole in your pocket

And a huge gaping smile on your face, and a huge amount of jealousy from your friends, and ...

Have the ability to lift a notebook with your little finger....

(Ever felt one of them powerbooks? Lightweight, thats for sure!)

Unfortunately, no.

Hehe... that's why I want the iBook, £600 in America, compated to £900... Gonna have to put in some serious hours at work! :O

Yeah, my computing teacher has one.

They are so thin and cool

Yup... I've just been reading reviews, comparing the iBook against Powerbooks etc.

I came to the conclusion that I don't need a serious Mac, just one that can play games if I choose to (UT2004 gets an FPS of around 30 on the basic iBook) and watch DVDs, do homework and surf the Internet. I need portability, and it's what I get.
