WTB: Mac Laptop
 

Hi,

I'm looking for a Mac laptop for one and one purpose only... to create iPhone and iPod Touch applications. That's all I'm going to use it for.
The last time I used a mac was in elementary school probably for all the write type or something but I remember using some old school Macintosh machines.

I don't feel like spending around two grand on a brand new Mac computer that I will be using for one thing so perhaps someone has one out there that doesn't need/want and is willing to give up for a reasonable/cheap price.

The laptop just needs to have Mac OS X v10.5.5, wireless internet connection, AC adapter and to be in decent condition. (no sticky keyboards please)

Let me know
Thanks
Mike

So I'm thinking iBook G4 or first gen MacBook.
Let me know what you ladies and gents have.
bump. TTT

If you're just looking for a cheap mac, you could always pick up a mac mini, they are like 600-700.

Or the non pro macbooks are around 1100.

been looking around craigslist and ebay iBook $200-400 MacBook $400-600 used of course.
I'll most likely buy one from ebay but I would like to buy locally before I do nationally.

Most of them have OSX 10.4 though. Am I able to upgrade 10.5.5 using Software Update on the Mac for free? Or would I have to purchase a new operation system?

if you're just toying with the idea of developing on the iphone sdk, then don't bother at all

but if you're serious about this commitment, then i suggest you make a reasonable investment into a 20" mac which will run you about $1000 refurbished (or less on craigslist)

it's worth every penny

i have a 15.2 powerbook 1.6ghz

it has a broken lcd though but the body is like mint condition since i broke it like the 3rd month i got it.

interested?
