Pros: Affordable, Super fast Cons: none
With all of the new Apple computer products recently coming into the market, including the newest iMacs and other accessories, the G3 laptop has know fallen away from the spotlight. Just because it hasn't gotten the press doesn't mean that is in any way...

Pros: Sleek and powerful, more features for less money. Cons: Needs a roomier keyboard, weak wireless network reception.
The latest Apple laptop, Powerbook G4 is only an inch thick. It has a DVD player which pulls in disks, unlike the ones with trays coming out. It has one of the largest screens for a laptop. The outside is made of titanium, a metal used to make jet...

Pros: Fast & Solid Cons: only runs OS 9 or OS X
Another winner for Apple!
It's fast. It's beautiful. And still priced little high.
(only if it were selling for $2999...)
It has 100mhz FSB (front-side bus) like Power Mac G4's and memory is upgradeable up to 512mb (2 SO-DIMM...

Pros: DVD drive, screen quality, design Cons: cost
The Apple Powerbook G3 is as close to a desktop computer as you can get in such a small, lightweight and attractive package. Not only does the machine offer a six-gigabyte hard drive and ample RAM, but also features the massive luxury of a DVD player....

Pros: light easy to transport Cons: crashed often on me
I was so excited when I got computer that I thought I was a leader in the age of technology. I soon found out that without a true computer guru I was in trouble. My laptop G3 crashed 3 times in the year that I had it and I had to get a friend in the...

Pros: Fantastic design, ease of use, hot swappable battery/bays Cons: Price, OS stability
Never judge a book by it's cover some say. Appearances can be deceiving say others. Looking at Apple's latest efforts in the laptop arena one is hard-pressed to abide by any of these sayings - the PowerBook's design is downright beautiful. Matte black,...

Pros: Great graphics card, ready for mac os x, nice clean design, great screen, fast. Cons: sometimes a bit plastic feel, needs more memory.
When rumors about the new Apple Powerbook g3 (The third iteration, with firewire and airport networking) started to come out, there was talks of "pismo" and a whole new Powerbook generation. Having happily used a second iteration powerbook...

Pros: Fast, gorgeous active matrix display, fast, unexpectedly nice keyboard Cons: all PowerBooks should come with at least 128MB RAM; 6 gig hard drive could be bigger
My Pismo (400mhz) arrived yesterday from MacMall (with a free 128MB of RAM for a grand total of 196MB RAM) and with only a slight glitch today (during software install, my trackpad stopped working, but shutting the computer down and waiting a while to...

Pros: A exqusite looking, fast and functional computer Cons: A bit expensive
Yet another stunning computer by Apple. The Powerbook G3 gives you the speed, screen size, and functionality of a desktop with the size and transportability of a laptop.
With a 400 MHz G3 processor you have all the speed you could ask for and...

Pros: Powerful, expandable, large and bright screen, quality hardware, great battery life Cons: none
I needed a laptop for law school. The Apple PowerBook G3 was the perfect solution.
As I planned on taking class notes and writing all my papers on the machine, I knew I would be staring at the screen for hours on-end. The 14.1 inch active...

Pros: great customer service, bright screen, big HD, hot swappable drives, powerful, and fast. Cons: no SCSI port, only one year warranty.
I have the great fortune of owning a Powerbook G3 300 for a year now and not once have I had any reason to complain. Even serious problems (a fading of the LCD screen) was fixed and returned to me in under a week. Pretty good considering it had to be...

Pros: Now in the spring of 2001 at $1799.00, this laptop is a great buy Cons: the latch that holds the screen comes loose after heavy use
If this were a few months ago and this laptop was priced at $2499.00, even with all its good features, I would give it only four stars because shelling out 25 big ones is steep.
Now that the superior G4 laptop has come out, some Mac catalogs...

by thopper , Oct 30 '00
Pros: Very powerful, Mac ease of use, and light (use it anywhere!). Screen is clear and sharp. Cons: Case feels somewhat fragile. The 6GB hard drive becomes annoyingly loud after several months. The screen could be brighter.
It was getting time to replace my old 603e-based Mac with something newer and faster. Plus, I was looking to free up space in my home. The 2000 PowerBook offered all the features I was looking for, and had just come down in price. It is blazingly...

Pros: Fast, Powerful, Sleek
It plays DVDs! Cons: I eventually have to sleep
Before I purchased this computer I checked out the negative opinions on epinions.com (great website:) The negative opinions that I have read were basically from people who don't understand computers. One word MEMORY. You need lots of it for your...

Pros: Utterly reliable- powerful- great display - compact Cons: None
I've owned 2 previous Mac laptops and 2 previous Windows laptops. In my PowerBook G3 I've finally found the power of a desktop in a small, reliable package.
I use my laptop for everything from surfing to desktop publishing while I'm on the...
