Apple PowerBook G4 15.2 in. (M8362LL/A) Mac Notebook

Pros: Wide screen viewable from any angle, fast, quiet, great for DVD's
Cons: Scratches easily, occasional dead pixels, Airport reception could be better, no CDRW drive, keyboard design

I have never been so in love with a computer before! I bought my 500Mhz Apple Titanium laptop in March 2001. Mine was manufactured on March 3rd and has been going strong every day since I bought it. I've owned previous Apple and PC laptops (Apple...

Pros: Simply the fastest laptop on the market!
Cons: It can't carry-on a conversation very well.

The Titanium Powerbook G4 is screamingly fast. Not to mention the absolutely cool looking 99.5% commercially pure titanium casing. At 667mhz the G4 chip inside the new powerbook with a 133mhz bus can squash even a 1.3ghz pentium.

The...

Pros: Sexy looking, high powered laptop. Price vs. feature winner. Slot loading DVD burner
Cons: Bottom cover can be warped if not reinstalled correctly. I don't have one yet!

The Titanium Powerbook aka. the TiBook. This little 5 pound wonder can now do it all. With the recent processor speed upgrades, the addition of the DVD burner, and the up to $500 price drop, it's going to be hard not to want one now. With the first ever...

Pros: Fast, Beautiful Looking, Great Screen, Awesome Networking, 1GHz Powerhouse
Cons: You have to treat it with care

This is my first mac I have owned. I have always held out on buying a PowerBook because of the reviews saying that the hinges are bad, the paint flakes off, etc. I fooled around with a friend's iBook for a while and was going to buy an iBook as they are...

Pros: Nice compact screen.
Cons: a little on the heavy side

Apple Computer announced last week two new models in its PowerBook laptop line. The one that drew the most attention was the industry's first laptop with a gargantuan 17-inch screen. But the company also announced its smallest laptop ever: a petite...

Pros: Sexy, light, 16:9, thin, firewire, MacOS, VGA
Cons: Fragile, Hot, no DVI

I personally use this machine professionally. I design on it, plug it into a VGA monitor and use both screens. I contract quite a bit so I take it everywhere. It is fragile though... I've cracked the housing but it hasn't affected it in any way. I...

Pros: Light, tough, amazingly huge screen, built-in support for DV, wireless networking, dual-monitor
Cons: Smallish HD on $2500 model, no more dual-battery, still uses software DVD decoding.

-sigh- Finally, a capable computer from Apple that won't be called "fruity" or "girly."

The first PowerBook was released in 1991 and ever since then it's been a steady climb out of the land of small screens, wimpy batteries, and teensy hard...

Pros: Thin; bright, crisp, wide screen; sleek design; attention to detail; downright zippy
Cons: Tinny speakers

How much do you want this notebook? Just _look_ at it. I was smitten at first glance. Being a notorious early adopter, I had my order in the day after it was introduced at MacWorld SF. Managed to hunt one down about a month later at a CompUSA when it...

Pros: Lightweight, easily portable, great performance
Cons: Gets a bit hot, cables tricky to remove

I've had my TiBook for about 6 weeks now, and in that time it's become the only computer I use. It has met or exceed almost all my expectations.

I opted to spend the extra money & get the 500 MHz CPU & 20 GB hard drive instead of the stock...

Pros: SEXY! Lightweight, tough, ease-of-use, loaded with great hardware.
Cons: Too small? I don't think there are any...

"WOW!"
That's all I could say when I pulled it out of the box for the first time.
"It's so thin and lightweight! So cool looking!"
The external keyboard and mouse actually took up more room in my arms when I was delivering this computer to...

Pros: Light, big screen, big "wow-factor"
Cons: Somewhat delicate, some kinks in design

The G4 (Titanium laptop) is head-snapper. The wide-aspect ratio screen and strikingly different looks (leave it to Apple) make even PC-diehards give this thing lingering, envious looks. Its ability to hold 512MB of cheap memory (a 256MB SO-DIMM was...

Pros: Sleek design, perfect screen dimensions, light, show stopper
Cons: Battery disconnects, needed more ram

After watching Steve Jobs unveil this machine, I knew it was finally time to securely move into the Apple Mac world. Just a month after ordering a supped up laptop from Dell, in which I was completely happy with, I ordered the G4 Powerbook without...

Pros: Performance, looks, widescreen 15.2" TFT display, great set of I/O ports, DVD, much more.
Cons: Software bundle could be better, a little pricey, susceptible to scratching.

The Titanium PowerBook G4 is everything you can ask for in a laptop. 1" thick, 15.2" widescreen display, DVD-ROM drive (so you can watch movies on those long flights), large hard drive, PC card slot, FireWire, USB, and a full complement of other ports,...

Pros: Speed, design, wow-factor
Cons: older architecture, small harddrive, defects

There is so much hype about TiBook in Macintosh press and I thought I would share my experience with this Powerbook after a month of using it.
Well, first of all, nothing comes close to it in terms of design. It has sleek, metallic body (that is...

Pros: Compact, powerful, lightweight, awesome screen, sober look.
Cons: Expensive, freezes.

Well, despite my numerous protests, my girlfriend went and bought a laptot computer. "Don't do that - a desktop is much cheaper ! You'll be able to get more for much less !", I said in vain. When I found out she was not only buying a laptot, but a Mac, I...
