if you're not a demanding user. this laptop will last you for atlease another 2years. another 1-2year if you can hold yourself not to get the latest softwares, else you might have to endure some slowdown. so a top 4-5years worth of usage.

the spec you cant do much since u already decide to get it. because u cant customize it. you might want to consider what u will do with it first. Forget about playing latest 3D heavy game it will be slow or at the worse setting.

you might want some tips on what to look for when getting used Mac instaed of comments on the spec. here's what i think you should do.
when u get the machine, variefied you have the following:
- All the manuals & restore CD/DVD.
- Video cable. charger, charger's extension cord.
- receipt (not very important but will be handy)

then check the following:
- get the serial number and check the warranty at: www.apple.com/support at the lower right section.
- check the battery lifespan with apps like coconut battery.
- check all the ports are working or not, USB, Firewire, network, video.
- check the wifi & bluetooth (if available).
- look for dead pixels on the screen. (very rare)

If any thing you found not working, demand for more discount. Then send it to apple center for repair. If the iBook is really 4 months old, it should have 8month warranty to go. Start saving for applecare protection plan that will extend warranty for another 2 years. And prepare to do RAM upgrade when u have extra cash.
