Hi Apple gurus n sifus.. Noob question here. Can the casing of the Macbook been replaced with a new one. If can where and how much since there a a few Apple authorised dealer and vendor around the town? This is bcos a fren of mine is selling his Macbook for, and I might considering buying it for my sister. FYI the Macbook is out of warranty already and it has a 'kaput' battery on it. Need to plug in the external battery to ensure that it is 'on'. Thanks for all the help.

Sorry 1000X..Upon closer inspection, its an i-Book, and not Macbook as I mentioned b4. My mistakes.sorry again. Can the casing/cover still be replace?

Thanks alot lotgotZ. That has been really informative for me. Will checkout the VR tech once Im back in Malaysia end of this month. Thanks again.

I'll recheck again with the replacement batteryand the model of iBook as well again soon. But I think its expired already, since she did mention that it might gonna cost me around RM700++ for me if I want to get a new battery. BTW Im in Brunei lotgoZ.

Hi again.. re-check the iBook already. Here are the spec:

Model : iBook
CPU : Power PC750@600 MHz
Memory : 640 MB. Memory #1:128MB/ Memory #2:512MB
Graphic : ATI RAge Mobility 128. VRAM : 8MB
System serial : 1423TU-LPz-FF10

My question is this a worth buy? The price my fren is selling is BND500 equvalent RM1250 (if the currency is /0.4). And FYI again the battery are totally kaput. How much it is to replace a new battery and hence can Apple Malaysia do a restoration/ replacement as the clip on the casing has loosen as well.

I'm soOOo into these iBook and intended to get it for my sister for its beauty! Mine? I'll wait patiently until Leopard come out as I really wanna get a MacBook with core duo now! Pls..anyone comment on it.

Sorry double posting!
