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

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: Thin
Cons: none

I was amazed at the quality of the graphics display: it was much better than that of my screen at home, and much better than that of my TV. On the other hand, every once in a while there would be a few "jumps" on the DVD, and it would take it a while...

Pros: light, very fast, big screen, turns heads like a supermodel
Cons: only one firewire port, gets hot, small HD

first of all i don't want to get into the whole Mac v. PC argument. ive used both for over 10 years and there are pros and cons for each side. that being said lets get on to the review.

i was looking to get a new computer for video...

Pros: Beautiful, light, fast
Cons: Expensive. Quircky shortcommings like old ATI 8mb graphics, no CD-RW, small keyboard

The Mac Titanium G4 is at once both heroic and tragic. It is heroic in its high-tech, light weight case, the speed of it's G4 500mhz processor and its gorgeous 15.2" widescreen TFT display. It is tragic in its quircky short commings. Things like the...

Pros: sleek, fast, sexy, huge screen
Cons: 1st generation of any new technology has bugs to be worked out. patience, people.

We can't be the only family that doesn't buy the first generation of a new product. We always wait till the work out the inevitable problems the first set of users discover, and that's always worked for us.

This time, however, my husband...

Pros: Edits video better than my 750 Mhz P-III PC laptop.
Cons: No floppy drive.

This review is especially for those would be video buffs out there. My history goes back to the days of editing weddings in VHS, so I am quite pleased with my PB and it's editing software. But first let me give the specs of my laptop.

...

Pros: Cool look, Wide and sharp screen, Lightweight
Cons: Not all the bugs are out, Runs hot, Loud fan, Only one battery

A few years ago I had an Apple G4 Desktop and it rocked. Fast, stable and easy to use.

But, alas, I had to give it up and spent several sluggish months doing penance with a slow, small G3 PowerBook .

So, I was delighted when a...

Pros: Great screen, very light and slim, beautiful design, fast, long battery life
Cons: Trackpad is somewhat jumpy, keys touch screen when lid is closed

My Titanium 400mhz was mostly an impulse buy. I had been using an older Powerbook for a few months, and loved the mobility. We needed a new desktop Mac at work, and as I was considering what to buy, I made a spur of the moment decision to go totally...

Pros: Small form factor, light weight, incredible screen
Cons: Poor sound through built-in speakers, not grounded

A fantastic computer, as one would expect from Apple. 1 inch thick, and only 5.3 pounds, I found myself bringing it with me everywhere I go. I don't fumble with IMAP on multiple computers or bother with a Palm Pilot, because I always have my computer...

Pros: It's a Mac. The screen is HUGE. People *will* stare.
Cons: CD/DVD read-only drive of limited value to me.

I bought the G4 Titanium laptop so I could take my graphics-intensive job on the road if I had to (or wanted to), moving from office office to home office to hotel room and back again with minimum effort or inconvenience.

I wanted to be able...

Pros: Eye catching design.
Cons: Worrying engineering and poor support.

I have been a Mac user for many years. When I started a consultancy business recently I bought an Apple Ti Powerbook. It nearly cost me the business.

The packaging was delightful as was the design. Lots of curious and envious looks whenever it...

Pros: Great display, speedy, beautiful, Combo Drive, lightweight, decent battery life, and obviously the Mac OS.
Cons: Buggy trackpad, expensive, un-ergonomic, kinda flimsy feeling design

I have owned a PB G3 Wallstreet for 4 years. I finally upgraded to the G4 Powerbook.
Sometimes I don't know how I did without, and sometimes I miss my G3 Powerbook.

Most of the apps I use are not OSX compatible, so I reformatted the...

Pros: Fast, light, sleek, strong, reliable
Cons: None.

I've had many laptops over the years, and this by far has been my favorite. Many think it sounds expensive, but you are getting your money's worth.
Dubbed the "Titanium PowerBook" or "TiBook" for short, it lives up to its name. With it's titanium...

Pros: Very Fast,Sleek,Great OS, Beautiful as a machine could be...
Cons: None that I can see except for price. For what you get its a deal..

Well I have been an Apple user for many years now. I do own PC's as well. I bought an iBook 600 G3 when this Powerbook was new. I didnt have $2400 to spend on a laptop so all I could do was wish. LOL! I found this at a pawn shop and the price was right ...

Pros: Fast, Portable Graphics Station
Cons: PC Networking Issues, Fragile

This machine is still in its early adopter phase. This means that not all of the production bugs have been worked out.

As a workstation, the Titanium G4 allows me to work in several different locations within our building and still do my...
