I'm shopping for a new laptop, and my requirements are fairly generic,
so I'm considering an OS X-based laptop because it does seem to be
nice hardware.  How little can I spend and come away with a system that 
performs usably under OS X?  Will the 800MHz 12" iBook do nicely?  How much 
memory should I throw at it? (I'm not sure how many slots it has vs onboard, 
etc, so I'd like to buy up front if it keeps me from having a spare simm to 
dump later) Dual heads would certainly be nice, as would bluetooth.

Thanks for any info.
