iLife is bundled on every new Mac. However, when iLife is updated between OS releases (i.e. iLife '08 to iLife '09), then you will need to purchase a copy.; ▶ Reply to This

A Macbook, will serve you so much better, and while a little more expensive, will get you into the next gen OS, and into the next several years of hardware upgrades. Buying an old powerbook is good for one thing. Collectors of Macs.; ▶ Reply to This
