Pros: light, bueatiful casing, bluetooth, fabulous graphics, mucic management software and it's an Apple! Cons: Case scratches, not the cheapest laptop on the market. More software available for PC Laptops.
Hahaha, finally all the years of trailing around as “the friend”, “the houseguest”, “the girlfriend” and now “the fiancée” of ‘him indoors’ has finally paid off as the boy has come good. His latest technical contract is with a graphic design company that ...
Pros: Nice design. Well constructed. Fast. Excellent operating system. Cons: Gets a little warm. Battery life limited to 3.5 hours
This is the best notebook computer I have ever used. I purchased it after looking at a number of ultra portable computer like the Dell X200, Sony Vaio and Toshiba Portege series. I had little intention of switching operating platforms when I first...

Introduction
*********************************************
I used to have an 800Mhz iBook, which I sold on ebay to get a PowerBook G4. Since I'm sure that many people are curious how the new...
I have written a previous review to this, but it was not that helpful. I've decided to write a new review, going much deeper into specifications and comparasions instead of my own opinions. Nonetheless, the outcome is the same.
Pros: light, small, powerful, great software bundle Cons: no L3 cache, gets a little warm.
Intro I've been a Mac user for the last seven years. I started with one of the original iMacs. My poor iMac died a horrible death one day after seven years of faithful service. I knew it was time for a new computer. I picked up my 12 inch ...
Pros: Compact Cons: Over-heating with extended use on working surface where hands are exposed.
The new Apple 12-inch Powerbook (PB) notebook computer is a sleek idea with some special features for a compact computer, but it overheats with extended use. Specifically, when using the computer for over one hour, and especially when multitasking with...
Pros: light, magnificent graphics, awesome design, full featured Cons: Case scratches, not the cheap, no USB 2.0
Apple should pat themselves on their back. Everything about this laptop makes it awesome to look at, not only the design but also the excellence they put into the packaging it. Then there is the easy to read and understand Getting Started Guide. Which ...
The Apple Powerbook 15.2", 867mghz Titanium G4 is without a doubt the very best computer of any type I've ever used. It is fast, lightweight, and beautiful to look at. The beautiful display is literally breathtaking, at times I find myself simply staring ...
Pros: Sweet design. Good performance. Great overall package. Cons: Scratches easily. Not enough games. No CardBus.
So I'm looking for a laptop since as a computer science student, being able to program on the move is an incredible asset. Up until now, Apple computers have never really been a viable option. Overpriced, little compatibility, weird operating system to...
Pros: Fast, Thin and most important to me lightweight with great battery life Cons: No pcmcia Slot, 640Mb max memory
First let me start off by saying that I have used hundreds of laptop computers from every manufacturer some now defunct and others well known. Yes, I am a computer Technician and have been testing, fixing and setting up laptops for years working for a...
Pros: Light, Great Display, fast, Aqua interface, Great with Audio & Graphics, built in wireless card Cons: No S-Video output, not compatible with all printers
As a PC user for many years I have been partial to the once superior windows machine. However, with the introduction of the new powerbook line I have been swayed back to Apple. Graphics: The Apple display is one of the best that I've seen. Pictures ...
Pros: size/weight/appearance, good for novices and enthusiasts both, very fast, easy to use Cons: gets hot, casing easily scratched, poor speakers
When I went away to school, I wanted a computer that was small enough to be unobtrusive in a tiny dorm, light enough to put in my backpack for trips home, and would grow with me. I'm not a computer whiz, but I figured that college would demand more tech ...
Pros: High performing machine, neat design, sleek keyboard, qualitive software, and the list goes on.... Cons: Will let you know as soon as i find one!!
What can I say, this little machine works like a dream!! As soon as I opened the box, i knew that i ...
I am always hesitant to purchase a laptop. They are often very expensive despite its meager performance compared to desktop. Even though most says they are portable, they are not really portable. Battery also runs out quicker than you hoped and ...
Pros: -Simply beautiful
-Simply simple Cons: -Yes, it does get warmer than other laptops (but for good reason--it's more heat efficient)
I'm not a techie but I've used all sorts of computers--PC and Mac, laptops and desktops--and I've never had as pleasurable an experience as I've had with this computer. Right out of the box, my PowerBook recognized the wireless router I had used with m ...
Pros: Elegant,FAST,STURDY,AMAZING,PC AMNESIA,I suddenly feel CREATIVE! Cons: The con is that i have spent over 20000 in PC oreinted Stuff.
This is one amazing computer.. Just looking at the box i got excited. I opened it up. IT was a good sign when even the packing goods started smelling good to me. Digging my way inside towards my computer i found pretty cool stuff. booklets, DVD Software...
After months of research and procrastination I finally picked up the new 12" powerbook. I had originally wanted either the 17" powerbook or an equally priced ($3,200) desktop system but my current financial situation wouldnt allow it (Im a...
Pros: Newly designed Keybord, G4 Processor, Slot loading CDRW Drive, 2 USB ports, great value Cons: Low default memory, no superdrive
Earlier this year I purchased the previous version of the iBook. I was utterly disappointed. However, when Apple released this notebook last fall I was intrigued so I went to an Apple store to take a look. I played with it for a half hour before I made ...
Pros: Light weight, Speed, Compactness Cons: heat (with os x 10.2) lack of usb 2.0 (revised on later versions)
I've owned numerous Macs, and laptops over the years. I started out with a second hand PowerBook 180 in 1997, and had numerous PowerBooks and iBooks over the years, but nothing seemed to have that same charm of being small enough to carry, but large ...
Pros: High styling, very compact, high-quality, stable and just works Cons: None
The little notebook computer is just strikingly beautiful in its case of silver aluminum. It is a pure joy to use too. This is my first Apple and I am extremely impressed with the ease of use and stability of OS X. The unit is very well constructed and ju ...
Pros: small, lite, shinny, powerful Cons: Really hot, battery only last just over 2 hours. Can't run OS 9.
This is my first laptop, I have ever bought. but not my first Apple computer. I really enjoy this, I"m a college student in multimedia, it is small and lite, I can put it in my backpack along with my books, and its fine. It is powerful, does ...
Pros: Form factor; reliability; battery life; screen; combo drive Cons: Not enough Apple and 3rd party applications
This is my 2nd Mac, but certainly not my last. I've owned over 20 computers since the early 80's. I was a dyed-in-the-wool PC user and hated Macs until two things happened: Windows XP and OS X. While Windows continues to "downgrade" with every ...
Pros: small, light, fast and the battery life lasts for a long time! Cons: It gets pretty warm after working on it for a while.
Until two weeks ago I was a life long PC user. A good friend of mine has a powerbook and I had the opportunity to use it many times. I looked for PC laptops with good wireless capabilities and by the time I added all the options I wanted it was more then a Mac not to mention 4 pounds heavier!
I finally got up the nerve to make the switch and I am so glad I did. I installed an airport extreme card and it works like a dream.
Baked Apple, Apple Crisp, easy bake ovens... a few terms floating around our school. by theron2 ,Nov 06 '03
Pros: Yes, it's small, light and great to circle up with on a cold winters night. Cons: It over heats so much that the cases bend and the system throws kernel panics.
Although I am a Mac advocate and have worked with Macintosh for over 15 years, I can not recommend the G4 AL to anyone. We ordered over 150 for our school and from that batch more than 60 are showing signs of warping. Yes warping... some have warped so bad they won't start. At this point Apple is refusing to admit there is a problem and for over two months dragged their feet over replacing the warped units.
