Pros: Everything... Cons: can't think of any, except for limited software
Apple has done a great job bouncing back from an industry where personal computers (PC) rule the market. The Powerbook G3 is just another perfect contributor to their success in the market these days. This notebook can practically fly because of its...

Pros: Everything Cons: Don't have enough time to use it more often!
I've got six Macs, but this is my favorite!
Whether doing 3D animation, illustrations, working on web sites or whatever (computer-wise that is) this is Mac I now use most.
Why did I buy the G3-400Mhz model? I wanted the best model so that it...

Pros: Excellent design, big screen, stable, DVD built-in Cons: None.
I've been using Macintosh computers since 1986. I've owned quite a few of the models over the years. I've been lucky enough to work at companies that allowed me to get the latest equipment. This is the 2nd PowerBook I've owned. The other was a 1400c....

Pros: Great all rounder, versatile, well connected Cons: The bottom gets a bit warm if it's on your lap!
Consider this: the last Apple laptop I owned was ye olde Powerbook 140 way back in the halcyon days of 1992, bashing out a masters thesis at the cutting edge of technology. I had been all desktop since then, until this gorgeous little best arrived. We...

Pros: Terrific design, great overall package Cons: More expensive than a PC - but look what you get!
I've been a strong PC and Mac user for over ten years now, and when it was time to upgrade to a new box I decided that I would go the laptop route.
I do a lot of graphics, DTP, and desktop video in my line of work and there are both pros and...

Pros: Fast, large screen Cons: A bit overweight
I'm still using the "Wallstreet" model of the G3 Powerbook because I love it. It's a bit heavy and I had to buy a floppy disk module to use with my digital camera, and a zip drive in order to carry files back and forth but it's seems to work...

Pros: Speedy and stylish Cons: A few bugs
I have recently purchased the Macintosh PowerBook G3, and was at first very surprised by the speed of this machine, though there was one flaw of this notebook; my internet connection was frequently dropped, and it wasn't due to my internet server. The...

Pros: Excellent Display, Great Speed Cons: Lack of carrying case, Not enough software
We recently received a new G3 Powerbook, 500 MHZ, with 128 MB RAM, 6.2GB Hard Drive, and DVD player. We ordered it through Apple.com. At first there were some mixed feelings about it, because of the delay in receiving the computer (the order was placed...

Pros: Many Cons: None
I have an apple G3 333 mhz powerbook '99, and it is simply a terrific machine. I would suggest buying it instead of the 400, as the difference is negligible. I often run netscape, dreamweaver, pagemaker and flash at the same time, and it performs quite...

Pros: Great for graphic and web design. Good looks. Cons: Bad for browsing the web.
I bought this machine exactly a year ago. I was so excited. Right from the start however I did have some compatibility issues with my hot swapable zip drive> it would crash my whole system and I'd end up having to erase my hard drive and start from...

Pros: great display and design Cons: expensive
I like Apples for personal use and PC's for business. Period. The vast amounts of software available on the Windows platform makes using a Mac for business a bad decision.
However, if you need a dependable, top-performing laptop, the G3 fits...

Pros: Huge screen, fast processor, great reliability, and a name you can trust, Apple. Cons: Nothing
I bought this computer on eBay for around one-half of what it is worth. And the speed will just blow you away. Now, you may think that a processor of 500MHz is all that much at all. But remember, Apple's processor's bus lines in the G3 are shorter, that...
