Apple iBook 12.1 in. (M8485LL/A) Mac Notebook

Pros: Form Factor, Appearance, and functionality
Cons: Occasional logic board issues - addressed by Apple in warranty extension

I remember when I bought my first brand new Apple. It was the fall of 2001, a few months had passed since I watched MR. Jobs unveil the new iBook. It was a revelation. An iBook that looked like something other than a toy. I was hooked. In less than five ...

Pros: Tiny size with big appeal.
Cons: Occasionally overheats, and product finish is not what you'd expect from Apple

I bought one of these little devils about a year ago for work and play. I wanted something that I could easily carry round to show work on, but also something to play on when I got home in the evenings.

With the iBook I have both.

...

Pros: Easy online purchase, immediate use, great picture
Cons: The cursor gets frantic every now and then. AppleWorks is a drag

I have always thought Macs to be computers with training wheels. And this is a good thing. It's not so much that I know nothing about computers, as it is I prefer not to think about now they work and why they don't.

PCs have not mastered...

Pros: Nice appearance; big screen; easy to use.
Cons: Not as fast as I expected; quite heavy.

There aren't much that come with the laptop. You have to pay for every single extra thing. The laptop, use guide, the battery charge and some other documentations are really the only things in the box.
Personally, i don't see much difference between...

Pros: Great style, great operating system, you can almost do anything with it.
Cons: 10 Gigabytes is small, CD burner at 4X is not very fast. SCRATCHES EASILY :(

I've had my refurbished iBook for about six months now. I have to say it is one of the best computers to have while you are in college. This little guy can help you with your homework as well as endulge you in many different multimedia...

Pros: Ultra portable, long battery life, bright and vivid screen
Cons: Networking with windows takes a bit of tweaking

I'm 22 and I work as a network administrator for a large business. I've been using computers since I was ten, and all of them have been x86 boxes running some form of the Windows operating system. In fact I've owned every version since 3.1.

I...

Pros: size, durability, value, looks, performance, versatility...
Cons: No right mouse button, DVD playing is not deinterlaced with TV DVDs

I had been considering purchasing a laptop computer for some time, when I heard that Apple had updated the iBook lineup. Here is a quick summary of the new features:

The iBooks now feature the ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 graphics chipset; the...

Pros: portable, easy to use, nice software bundle.
Cons: obnoxious plug and keyboard. (no nipple mouse!)

I bought my iBook for school and it's been really good. It came with a nice software bundle. The battery life is really good, I'm just not a big fan of the plug. the plug tends to fall out quite often and the mouse pad isn't the best. the iBook is very...

Pros: Size, weight, price, looks and OS X
Cons: Limited user upgrades

First a little background on who I am. I've personally used windows from version 3.1 to windows 2000. I have also used different versions of Mac OS. While I use windows 2000 at work I prefer Mac OS X. My first computer was an Apple ][. When Apple started...

Pros: Ultra: portable, light, friendly, space-efficient, novice/intermediate laptop, crisp and colorful image, ROCKS!!!
Cons: Maybe a little expensive but well worth it.

I remember the day I got my iBook. The box was so cute that I didn't even want to open it. Once I did, I found a stylish laptop waiting to be explored and put to use.
However, I was afraid to touch it. I just wanted to admire its beauty, its...

Pros: Elegant design, intuitive operation
Cons: erratic touchpad, laughable help support

I'm like the guy in the tv ad---a film maker, started with apple, switched to windows for 5 years...and two weeks ago, came back to mac. I got the 12.1 inch Ibook G3, and I think I can be helpful here for those in windows world considering the move....

Pros: Excellent machine, compact but powerful
Cons: power cord needs work

This little machine is the best thing to happen to laptops. It is so compact and yet so powerful. You know what they say 'dynamite comes in small packages.' I am relatively computer unsavvy. But this laptop is so easy to use. Things i never thought i...

Pros: New user interface(OSX) based on UNIX, attractive and durable design
Cons: Should have more memory and an owner's manual

I was tossed back and forth from Bill Gate's and Steve Job's. Where and what is the future of the operating systems? Will software companies and those who provide peripherials for computer continue to support
Apple? I'm convinced that the answer...

Pros: fast, light, long-lasting battery, bright display, stable, beautiful to look at.
Cons: Little bit of trouble integrating with Windows network.

This iBook is my first Mac. I come to it from the world of Intel/Linux, but I do use an iMac at work so this wasn’t much of a switch in the sense that I was quite familiar with the OS and the Mac hardware in general. The fact that the iBook runs OS...

Pros: light, durable, stylish, cheap, OS X, CD Burner
Cons: Need an eight hour battery

"Describe everything that comes in the box with this laptop."

Out of the box was a 700 MHz iBook G3, power adapter, monitor out cable, installer CDs, some software, some manuals. Preinstalled is iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie, and Appleworks software...
