Apple iBook Key Lime Special Edition 12.1 in. (M8245LL/A) Mac Notebook

Pros: Nice looking
Cons: Small hard drive, trouble connecting to the internet, problems handling java and shockwave

The apple i-book is a very good idea. The idea behind it was to make an ultra-trendy light weight and functional notebook computer to catch the sales trend that was started by its sister product the i-mac. But, and it is a big but, this product wasn't...

Pros: Gorgeous screen. Keyboard is so comfortable. Fun looking!
Cons: Battery Problems and Apple's repair policy is appalling!

I've had my iBook for two years now. I love the keyboard. It's keys are spaced perfectly and designed so the keys have a pleasant feel. The screen is very easy on the eyes. I like the touch pad but find my wrist taps it occasionally. Overall, I have...

Pros: hipster looks for inferiority-complex teens
Cons: "Service" plan makes any little problem a big problem

It all started when I noticed that the ibook display models in the authorized Apple store I visited had missing delete keys: every one of them. When I asked the sales guy about the missing keys he told me, straight-faced, that somebody was stealing...

Pros: Everything but video mirroring
Cons: Direct video output.

I have owned a Blueberry iBook for seven months and have tried to put it through it's paces. Each time it has performed wonderfully...even better then the Compac laptops on my fellow employees have, that is until now.

One of the weak areas is...

Pros: small, affordable
Cons: OS9 is the worst

First and foremost, I love Apple computers. I grew up using them and have spent most of my school years defending them to my IBM-loving friends. Having said that, let me now say that my iBook was one of the worst purchases of my life. OS9 is a horrendous...

Pros: sturdy, handle, won't get lost in dark colored sand
Cons: it would probably be better if it did get lost n sand

I have a considerable amount of experience with both Macs and PCs, and I understand arguments from either camp, but I know of no one who thinks that an iBook is a good deal. First of all, the stats just aren't that good for a $1600 computer. Plus,...

Pros: Slow, freeze, no floppy drive, not compatible
Cons: Cute, comfortably designed, beautiful 3D graphics

I bought the Apple ibook sometimes march this year and
unfortunately, I had to take it back and buy a HP 3250 Notebook PC instead.

I read a lot of information about ibook and thought it would be
a nice notebook to buy. However, I...

Pros: Unique design
Cons: Seems to be lacking in power!

I'm not an owner of the iBook and I don't even own a laptop of any kind but I do sell computers where I work and I feel that my opinion should count for something.

When we get a new item into the department, I'm usually the one that sets it up...

Pros: easy memory access, wireless internet
Cons: slow processor, small hard drive

The apple ibook is still not one of those (must have)laptops. It g3 processor is still rather slow, the 6 gig hard drive has been upgraded from 3 gigs, and the 64 mg of ram is rather tight. All of this for $1599 is pretty expensive a definitely is not...

Pros: Looks great, great graphics, great software package
Cons: it's an apple

The future of computers the way I see it, is somewhat in trouble. The computer is a prime example of it. It seems to be selling on the amount of gadgets it has. Do you know what A "Analog Modulation Protocal" is? I surely don't. Anyway I don't...

Pros: OS X: a sleek Aqua interface, stable Unix core, non-Windoze OS.
Cons: Doesn't power up, need to reset the computer. Maybe specific to Combo Optical Drives.

Two weeks ago, I ordered the new Apple iBook directly from Apple's online store. Boy, was I excited: G3 500 mhz processor, 256 mb RAM, 20 gb HD, CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive... and it comes pre-installed with OS X, Apple's new OS and challenge to Linux and...

Pros: DVD, large Hard Drive, Cute
Cons: Much too heavy for its capability, slow and small screen.

I purchased an Apple iBook expecting a lot. I work in design, as obviously do my colleagues who raved on and on about the "new Apple" industry. I was recommended the iBook. I expected something fancy, but did not get it.

Sure, it's cute....

Pros: Excellent graphics best I've seen, light and thin
Cons: Overheats quickly, mouse sticks, poor keyboard, fast battery consumption, cluttered on the left, poor sound

As I write this opinion with my apple iBook I think to myself about the money I wasted. I thought this laptop was what I wanted and was looking for but it is basically useless to me.....for now anyway. I see all of these raving reviews for it but...

Pros: Appearance, usage, utility
Cons: mediocre stats

I'm a programmer by trade, and got the iBook strictly because it looked "cute". Yeah, it's a little "girlie", but that's part of its appeal -- it looks different. It's not just skin-deep either; other design features add to its...

Pros: Good price and keyboard, incredible design and extremely durable
Cons: Somewhat underpowered, low amounts of default RAM

At first sight, the Apple iBook is a piece to behold. However, actually using the laptop is another matter. The iBook is somewhat underpowered, with only 32MB of default installed RAM. The maximum screen resolution is okay for most people, although it...
