What is a good MacBook/ Powerbook/ iBook for under 400?
I'm looking for something that I can create music, and edit videos (muzzle flares/ explosions) with for under 400. Any suggestions?
If your meaning of "edit videos" is to use iMovie, not much critical there. If you want to render raw video from a pro camera or DV tape, you need Firewrire 400 or FW800. You would have to go back to the ancient "clam shell" iBook to find one without Firewire. All PBs have either FW400 or 800. All MacBooks except the 2008 Aluminum have FW400.
MacBook < US $400 is almost impossible. Stick with "Core 2 Duo", and those start around US$500 for 1.83GHz 2006-2007 models. Be careful: lots of these older MacBooks had "combo" drive; hold out for DVD-RW.
PowerBook < US $400 will usually be a bit weak, like 1GHz or less. If you can get 1.67GHz with DVD-RW for that price, go for it.
iBook 2005 with DVD-RW might be around US$400, but you probably can get one for 300 if you spend some time looking. They are not as durable as PowerBook, and don't have FW800 like 15" and 17" 2003 and all later models of PB, but FW400 is good enough for 90% of video work. Don't even think about USB for pro video rendering, unless you enjoy aggravation.
Don't fret much about what OS is on it. That's the easiest thing to change, if you can get your hands on an OS 10.4 or 10.5 install DVD. You can't change the processor and you won't enjoy changing the optical drive.
