Pros: Beautiful, very well equipped, speedy Cons: umm...none?!
I really love the new Apple Powerbook models. They are as sexy as a Ferrari and offer speed and quality of construction that far surpasses anything wintel can come up with.
The price is right for the quality--and service--you get. Case in...

Pros: Easy to Handle, Fast, Very Few Crashes Cons: Do not use OS9
I have been using my Powerbook G3 (the older model with SCSI) and I love it. At one time I did install OS9 but I had so many problems with it, mostly older software tha was no longer compatible with OS9, that I finally wiped my HD clean and reinstalled...

Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing
Wow. I am a hardcore Mac fan and this gives me yet another reason to stay with Apple. This laptop is light, thin, cool looking, incredibly large screen and fast processor. It is PERFECT for anybody who needs a very high performance portable computer....

Pros: Powerful processor, many options and add-ons Cons: too small of a keyboard for easy use.
I bought a Mac G3 Powerbook 1998 model one year ago to use both for my work as a journalism teacher and for my family. It's portability makes it easy to carry and the easily rechargeable battery allows users to get about three hours on one charge. ...

Pros: large screen, lightweight, great video! Cons: no s-video in support, video chip not upgradeable (soldered into board)
I purchased the product from MacConnection, a very reliable resaller. I believe anyone would benifit from this product, it has great video, the hot swappable DVD-ram drive is great! Easy to manuver around the desktop, very customizable to your...

Pros: built-in FireWire with support for booting and target disk mode, excellent graphics performance, AirPort-ready, software-based DVD decoding works Cons: DV software not included, DV FireWire cable not included, bulkier "UFO" power supply
It's difficult to fault a company when the seemingly only downside to their product is that they weren't able to wrap it in an even more stunning enclosure, but that's exactly what the case is with Apple's latest PowerBook G3s.

Pros: compatability, size, ease of use. Cons: price.
After owning this powerful little machine for sometime, i have realized its advantages over desktops and Ibm's. Firstly it is as powerful as desktops with the low end of 333mhz processor, and the 4 gig, hard drive. It easily runs any type of application....

Pros: Larger Screen, DVD-ROM, Super fast, user friendly Mac OS Cons: not many
The new 400 mghz Macintosh PowerBook G3 is about as fast as anyone could want. This notebook will become its users pride and joy. It has a DVD-Rom with great digital video and sound when watching your favorite DVD (Im holding my breath until Star Wars...

Pros: weight, design, coolness factor Cons: durability, software
I just got my new pismo powerbook and I am soo far very impressed with it and haven't had many problems. I did experience a few problems with some extentions, like atm, after installing adobe software. I have heard some nightmare stories about bad pixels...

Pros: Blazing speed & incredible DVD! Cons: none yet
I've been an iMac user for about 18 months.....and I LOVE APPLE and the whole MacIntosh experience.
Since I was going to be going out of town on a work-related project, for about a month, I couldn't stand the thoughts of being without my...

Pros: Built-in Firewire, USB... crisp display; see text Cons: Software instability; sometimes hard to find Mac software for certain applications
My conversion came through a friend who had also been a capable and devoted PC user. He purchased an iMac and encouraged me to look at Macs when I was considering the purchase of a laptop. So, here I sit, writing this review on the very computer that...

Pros: Not so expensive anymore Cons: Fragile ac adapter
With the release of the new PowerBook G4 titanium, Apple has cut down the price of the PowerBookG3 to $1.999. That makes it reasonably affordable. Big deal, people would say, it is cheaper because it is older, right, but some people would still get more...

Pros: Sleek, beautiful, easy to use Cons: Could be a little lighter
This lap top is under $3,000. It well worth the money because even though it is a lap top it can be your basic computer. It does everything you need plus at good speed. You don't need that big MAC on your desk when you have this lap top.
I...

Pros: Truly portable computing, powerful Cons: Keyboard fragility, nagging feeling that for the price an iBook would have sufficed
Yes, really -- Zippy -- see (http://www.sfgate.com/sf/zippy) Bill Griffith's Zippy the Pinhead -- uses this computer, or at least he was drawn using it. It is the laptop computer equivalent of a StarTAC phone as far as hipness goes. It's five pounds...

Pros: Very powerful, easy to use, easy to upgrade Cons: Battery life not long when using DVD
I've been a dedicated Apple member for years, so it was a no-brainer when I decided to sell my iMac for a laptop. My first instinct was to go for an iBook, but I decided against that. That decision was made mostly because I don't want to look silly...
