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.

Reminds me, I should fix my PowerBook G4's logic board.

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.
