Pros: Fast, lots of goodies built in, long battery life, looks great.
Cons: Heavy, and it's not a G4.
PowerBook G3. The sleek, black shell is enough to distinguish it from run-of-the-mill Wintel laptops. Add to that a PowerPC G3 processor at up to 400 MHz, loads of built-in hardware that other vendors consider extras, and, of course, the one and only...

Pros: Fast, expandable, lots of ports, superb display
Cons: Nice lines, but still on the heavy side
The G3/400 (aka 'bronze' and 'Lombard') takes all the prizes - speed, ergonomics, display quality, versatility (SCSI, VGA-out, S-VHS out, USB, 100BaseT Ethernet, 56Kbps modem, DVD, 44.1Khz audio in/out) except one - it could be a bit lighter. I'm sure...

Pros: Fast & Sleek design
Cons: I had some trouble with mine
I have the new FireWire PowerBook (Pismo) and the experience was less than pleasing! For some reason every night the clock resets back to Jan 1 1904. I'm also have trouble getting my PowerMac G3 (B&W) and the PowerBook to network over AppleTalk (I...

Pros: high end specs, quality, good support.
Cons: price is high, but you do get more then other laptops. Less software for macs.
Well, I had had my PowerBook for over three months. Let me tell you it is one sweet machine. I had to choose between getting a desktop and laptop and. I decided that since I go to school in one town and over the summer I live in another town, I...

Pros: Speed,Flexability
Cons: S-VIDEO has delays when playing DVD's
I bought my Powerbook G3 last August, and got one of the first built to order models ever assembled. It has helped me accomplish countless school projects, and has also allowed me to play many more new games. When I ordered the powerbook back in July of...

Pros: See the 'Zippy the Pinhead's zippy computer' epinion
Cons: Bizarrely fragile keyboard
Please see my earlier epinion on this computer for a less...specialized view of the G3 PowerBook. That said...
The keyboard -- the lovely and cute clear-keyed keyboard that lifts out for dusting -- is a cheap piece of plastic garbage, about as...

Pros: easy to use, fast
Cons: expensive
The PowerBook delivers uncompromising performance in a stunning — and stunningly light — package: just 5.7-pounds with battery and weight-saving module installed, and 6.1 pounds with battery and DVD-ROM drive installed.
This portable...

Pros: A nice looking package
Cons: Has problems working smoothly with many common programs
Just like the next person, I love technology. Every time a new product is released, I am salivating along with all the other eager beavers. So when the G3 powerbook first came on the market and I had done all the research I could, I was definite about...

Pros: It's fast, powerful, and has lots of memory.
Cons: Pretty expensive.
Notebooks have been traditionally dissed for being too small and incapable for the real world. People say that notebooks don't have the speed for the internet, and don't have the memory for large downloads. Well, quite simply this one...

Pros: Fast, stable, great screen, excellent expansion and connectivity.
Cons: A little heavy. Gets pretty warm.
I so love this computer. I have had quite a few Macs, and this is my third powerbook (following an old 160 and the first generation Powerbook G3). I have been impressed with it since day one. The specs are: 500mhz G3 processor, 14" TFT screen, 12 gig...

Pros: nice design, fast, DVD works great, big screen
Cons: a little heavy
I was given a PowerBook G3/400 by the company I'm working for for the summer. It soon became the only machine I really used. The big screen makes it easy to use as a main machine and the standard hard drive is quite large. It has enough built-in so you...

Pros: Fast, powerful, sleek design, lightweight
Cons: a little bit thick
I've been using my PowerBook for about a year, doing web design work mainly. As a web designer I have to use programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, GoLive, BBEdit, all at the same time, all working like crazy...I was thinking on buying a PowerMac, but...

Pros: processor is great
Cons: It sitll is a mac
Apple computers are very easy to use and Apple Powerbook G3's are significantly good machines and they look fabulous. There are pros and cons about everything though. You just have to know what you are using this computer for. If you want to run a...

Pros: sexy, sleek, turbo-charged!
Cons: no on-board firewire, graphics chipset could be faster.
About a week ago I got my new Apple Powerbook G3/400 "Bronze Keyboard" which is more widely known as the 'Lombard' class of portable. I splurged and went for the top of the line rig, since the 400MHz processor has a 1MByte L2 cache, keeping...

Pros: Fast, slim, and sexy.
Cons: Battery life, prejudiced platform.
Having bought a blue G3 this winter, I was reluctant to "move down" to a portable for the traveling my new job would entail. I shouldn't have worried. For all the naysayers who pronounced the death of the Mac, they need only see this model fly...
