Yeah, I didn't notice the refurbed link on the Penn State store earlier. It is indeed the same price for refurbished stuff. Oh well.

So, with the price range I'm looking at, it looks like it's either 14" iBook or a Wintel laptop. No way I'm going to reach into the pocket for the $2200 or so a 15" Powerbook will set me back. I'm gonna go to CompUSA tomorrow to take a look at the iBooks, and if I'm not too keen on those, I'll resign myself to the standard PC laptop quest.
