Okay, so I was going to buy a 2nd laptop from one of these, but I didn't know which to get. Could you help me decide?

1. MacBook 2006. http://www.ebay.co.uk/ctg/Apple-MacBook ... Laptops_ET

2. MacBook Pro 2006. http://www.ebay.co.uk/ctg/Apple-MacBook ... Laptops_ET

3. PowerBook G4. http://www.ebay.co.uk/ctg/Apple-PowerBo ... Laptops_ET

4. MacBook Pro 2009. http://www.ebay.co.uk/ctg/Apple-MacBook ... Laptops_ET

5. MacBook Air 2011. http://www.ebay.co.uk/ctg/Apple-MacBook ... Laptops_ET

If you want to suggest a different one, make sure it is:
Under £700
Can run at least OSX 10.4

Thanks,
mycomputerhelp

None. If you want an OS X laptop, get a Dell Latitude.

I'd have said MBA 2011, that way you get the newest i5 tech rather than core 2.

Also, PowerBook g4 would be limited to 10.5.8 - it can't run Snow Leopard, let alone lion.
