Apple PowerBook G3 (M7308LL/A) Mac Notebook

Pros: Apple need I say more?
Cons: Dosent have windows on it.

This is a great education laptop computer. I would recommend this for anyone who needs a computer but does not have the space for it. Like kids at dorms at college and stuff like that. Even though it isn’t all that powerful it is still enough to...

Pros: fast and powerful, sharp screen, light weight (for its features)
Cons: none yet

this powerbook g3/500 was bought on the eve of the launch of its replacement, the powerbook g4, in san francisco... but i have no regrets about that! this g3 is plenty fast on all the software i use, which includes M$office98, Photoshop, iMovie2 (what...

Pros: Fast, Brilliant display with DVD, Lightweight, Firewire, and of course you get to run the Mac OS instead of Windows
Cons: Screen is a bit too large for flying coach and putting it on the little tray

The is absolutely the best Powerbook, better yet, consumer laptop ever built. Four of my fellow co-workers have purchased their own ever since I got mine 4 months ago, three of them were PC users. Once people get a look at this machine, they see a...

Pros: Super fast 400/500 MHz processor, DVD-ROM, AirPort, portable
Cons: a little pricey (but worth it!)

Being raised on a Macintosh, and being a college student, I have seen PowerBooks come and go. However, I am particularly pleased with Apple's latest addition to the PowerBook family...the PowerBook G3 "Pismo".

Within its sleek,...

Pros: I (used to) love Macs
Cons: AC/screen problems

I love Macs, but my G-3 Laptop gives me total problems with the AC adapter. I've gone through five of them. The connector on some models doesn't even fit the powercord so it has a very weak connection (keeps disconnecting). I took it to ComputerWare, San...

Pros: cross-platform capable
Cons: not very light

This is one of those rare pieces of equipment that I really could not live without. It began its life as my primary-use computer, and now serves me well as a portable (meaning it sites idle until I go somewhere).

It is indestructible, fast,...

Pros: compact, great look, fast
Cons: none

I recently purchased a new Powerbook g3 400 mhz, Pismo.

looks.
I like the look of this computer! It has numerous design details that set it apart from any other "laptop" style computer out in the market. The color is gorgeous; a...

Pros: Mac OS, Mac dependability, beautiful, friendly and fast!
Cons: difficulty connecting to older mac peripherals, fairly short battery life (2-3 hours)

My first Mac experience came when IT brought me a new computer for my office. To my utter horror it was a Macintosh. I griped and complained, even made noises about quitting.... a month later I bought a mac for my home office. I picked up the...

Pros: dvd rom, high speed
Cons: low memory

The display on this machine is phenomemal. Crisp, clear, BRIGHT!! The battery, although not the 5 hours touted by Apple, is better than any Wintel laptop out there. I get well over 3 hours of constant use on my G3/400. The machine blows my PII 400 out of...

Pros: very fast, very cool, very sexy
Cons: pricey

I just received my PB G3 (2000)/500, and I couldn't be happier! I turned it on and saw Apple's new configuration software - very cool! Software installation is a breeze thanks to the built-in CD/DVD drive, and the screen is huge compared to my old...

Pros: Easy to upgrade, sleek looking, lots of power,long battery life
Cons: trackpads make graphic design hard and tedious

I've always been a Mac addict, and so I guess I have a slight prejudice towards Powerbooks. In any case, buying the Powerbook G3 was the best choice I've ever made in my life. There are several awesome things about this notebook, and only a few...

Pros: Powerful, ergonomically subtle, fab-o screen
Cons: no floppy drive (puh-leeze, give me a break)

I sold my "older" (July 1999) Powerbook G3 400 for the "newer" (January 2000) Powerbook G3 400, and what a difference in performance. First off, this is the new motherboard inside, which makes this sucker fast. Second, no more flaky...

Pros: great design, huge screen, hot swappable drives
Cons: heavy, problems with zip disks

I love my PowerBook G3. I have the middle model, the one with the real G3 processor and before they "slimmed" it down. I bought it from one of the catalog stores and it came with the zip disk and the 14.1 monitor.

The monitor is...

Pros: FAST! Giant Screen!
Cons: NONE!

My PowerBook G3 is by far the best computer I have ever purchased. By far, my favorite feature is it's GIANT screen. The active matrix screen is 14.1 inches and is absolutely crystal-clear. The graphics power of this machine is phenomenal! (My old...

Pros: Powerful
Cons: Bugs on startup, in several utilities

The Powerbook G3 is awesome in a number of respects. It has incredible power and plenty o' space. Battery life is hardly a consideration anymore. I begged an extra battery off a friend in the office for a plane flight recently, and he laughed at me [tho...
