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

Pros: Elegant Design, Functional, Easy-To-Use, Stable, Fun
Cons: None

My son might rightly ask this question, as I load yet another game on his iBook Special Edition.

Ostensibly, I purchased the computer for his education (we’ve been home schooling him for 3 years). Unfortunately, he has a strong dislike for...

Pros: Nice features at a great price!
Cons: No DVD available.

First of all, I had researched many laptops before deciding on this particular model. I had a very limited budget, and wanted to get the most for my money. I happened to come across this ibook in MacWarehouse for $1199.00 and I made up my mind right then...

Pros: Quite fast, durable, and, well - it's a Mac.
Cons: A bit heavy. Prone to hard disk noise. Too expensive.

April, 2001 UPDATE

I would recommend the iBook SE to anyone, /except/ that a fully-loaded Powerbook G3/400, with a 14" screen, much larger L2 cache, more RAM, and more ports, can now be had at the same price. Apple is no longer selling PB...

Pros: DVD, Video Out, Key Lime color, Movies anywhere!!
Cons: No microphone port (minor con)

My life is usually going in at least three to four directions at once and I needed a laptop that could keep up with me. The requirements it had to fulfill were simple; it needed to be tough, fast, and expandable and multimedia. My original iBook met...

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: cheap, fast, nice screen, light weight, and long lasting battery
Cons: too hot, screen size is small small hard drive

This is another nice little thing from Apple. Steve Jobs has done it again making his apple product a real hip-hop. Right after the release of titanium powerbook he released this new version of ibook to replace the old chunky ibook.

Screen:...

Pros: very friendly platform , easy to take with you.
Cons: Needs more memory then the 32 megs it comes with.

I was a diehard PC person, while My daughter has always been a diehard mac user. I had a great lap top that did what I needed it to do, unfortunately one of my clients stepped on it. Now Lets put this straight right from the start. I am what my...

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: Entry level model is $200 less than original version with improved benefits. Can add expansion
Cons: The connections on the sides appear more cluttered with wires.

Apple’s new iBook has many distinctive features that set them apart from its PC competitors. This is an opportunity for Apple to regain more market share from the users, who have strayed to the PC laptop models.

In terms of appearance, Apple...

Pros: best-looking laptop available
Cons: premium cost, & dealing with idiots.

Okay; I've seen a few epinions pop up recently about the iBook.

I have to say, I thought the net community was a little more enlightened than what I see here.

I can't believe so many people are letting the color - or more...

Pros: Sexy enclosure, durable, AirPort-ready, loads of nifty features.
Cons: Bad internal speaker, CD tray rattling, a wee bit heavy

The iBook is definitely one of the coolest pieces of computer equiptment that I've come across recently. As Apple's slogan goes, it's an "iMac to Go." More than a catchy line, this description sums up the iBook to a tee. In the end, this is a...

Pros: Lightning speed, portability, good looks
Cons: If you want a floppy or Zip drive, you'll have to buy it separately.

The birthday present I was most hoping to get finally arrived -- a brand new iBook Special Edition. Picture this: there I am, kicked back on the recliner, my sleek, graphite-gray iBook in my lap, typing away at my newest novel... I'm just having way too...

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...

Pros: Rugged , ready-to-use, long battery life, PORTABLE DVD PLAYER, and oh-so-stylish..yeah, baby.
Cons: Pricey, on the heavy side, disc tray unnervingly fragile, not enough RAM.

A month or so back, I was given a rather extravagant (I'm so spoiled ^_^) birthday present: my very first laptop.

I have a graphite iBook SE - 466MHz G3 processor, 64megs of RAM, 10gig harddrive, and DVD player. And I love it. It's durable...

Pros: solid durable construction, simplest OS you'll ever use, good conversation starter, does everything your computer does only with style, cheapest apple laptop, and if you've never used a laptop, imagine chatting form your couch, or writing an essay in a p
Cons: All the drooling onlookers that want to touch it, a little to round to fit in some bags but if it doesn't fit, it probably wasn't as cool as the iBook anyway, dinky speaker good for little more than beeps and alerts,

In February, of this year, I turned 18. My parents bought me an iBook so that I can stay in touch, while I'm at college. I had had my eye on the little notebook for sometime, but had been waiting for a faster version to come out. When apple updated...
