I don't agree with FFTT, don't buy a refub iBook. If you purchase anything, make sure it's an Intel based Mac.
I tend to agree with this, perhaps not for *every* buyer, but for what you describe.
Here are my observations...
1) A used / refurb or new MacBook or MacBook Pro would suit your needs -- any model of either of them. However, you will not easily find this for less than $900.
2) You are certainly not getting $900 for a used PSP and a Palm T/X....
So I think, you have two major options...
- Can you come up with enough money to bridge the gap between the money you get from those two devices and the cost of a used MacBook (I'm guessing you need about $500-600 more than you'll get, but I'm not exactly sure, since I've never been in the market for either of those devices)
- If you really want to learn OS X, consider the option of buying a *much* cheaper Mac to learn on. Either a somewhat older PPC mac notebook that you can pick up for $400 or so and will *not* expect to be usable in 2 years, but that you can sell at relatively little loss, or a Mini or something like that if you have a display and can forego portability....
