How to get an old clamshell iBook?

Home More advice Computers & Tech

im really stubborn when it comes to things I want. im suppose to be getting a new laptop for school either this week or next week. and frankly... I could careless about how fast it goes or how much stuff I can hold. im always stuck on how it looks. (they're so cute. =] hah ) my mom says its people like me that the American economy rely on. "its very patriotic of me" she says anyway she wants to get me a new computer but I really really want the old clamshell ibook (preferably in tangerine)

I know I can get them on EBAY for like.. 300 dollars if you do the whole "BUY IT NOW"

my question is, can I refurbish that type of laptop? im really just using it for school, writing essays...maybe the occasional research. but I feel like I don't need to waste over 1000 dollars for something im barely going to use.

or should I just get a new one?
