should i buy a refurbished powerbook or a new ibook?

i've got one opinion saying an ibook would be ok for my needs, and everyone else saying you might as well get a powerbook, but all i can affor are the refurbished powerbooks. i plan on using it for about 50% word processing and 50% creative stuff (dreamweaver, photoshop,indesign).


Refurbished items are not necessarily items that weren't working properly. I bought a Blackberry phone and decided it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. When I returned it, by law it had to be sold as a refurbished item. It was not scratched, defective, etc. It just simply was not what I wanted. I do not think buying refurbished items means that you are buying someone else's crap. Go ahead, I'm sure it won't be a mistake.
