Pros: the design, the feel, very sexy Cons: the fact that I only have one
I'd love to have a higher end laptop and be at the top of the geek envy food chain, but I couldn't afford one. That is not to say I don't have enough money to buy one if I really wanted to, but I would be nervous carrying it around with me, for fear of...

Pros: Lightening Fast, Economical, Durable, Very Cool Looking Cons: Eject Button Bizarre
I remember the night I received my first iBook (the blueberry variety) in October of 1999, it was an exciting evening, I remember even hugging the courier because I was so excited to see him walking up my steps with not 1 but 2 boxes from Apple (we...

Pros: Drive choices, Small, Light, Fast, Good Screen, Airport, Cheap Cons: No slot-loading drive
As soon as I saw Apple's new iBook I wanted one. The new variation of Apple's entry level laptop was introduced on May 1, 2001. Absolutely everything was changed on the new iBook. It is smaller, lighter, faster, has a CD-RW drive available, and is...

Pros: size, style, speed, power, ease of use Cons: none
And let me tell you, I am so happy. I placed my order for the DVD version on May 9th through MacMall and it arrived on the 24th. Well worth the wait. I've been a mac user for 2 years now and i am very impressed at how much the iBook has improved. Kudos...

Pros: Incredibly small, light, fast, and durable. Cons: Limited battery options (but who really cares?)
I decided to buy the new iBook (officially called the iBook Dual USB) after lugging around, for nearly three years, a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet 233. That computer was nice but too large and fragile; I'm a college student, and its nearly 9-pound weight was...

Pros: fast processor and upgrade friendly! Cons: I can't marry this thing!!
I have been an avid Macintosh user for well over 15 years now. I enjoy the simplicity of the software and the clearness of the picture, especially when I was doing web design.
For the past 5 years I have been using a Mac Powerbook 1400c, and...

Pros: High-Resolution Screen; DVD/CD-RW Combo; OS X-compatible; only $1299-$1799 Cons: Not much software available for Macs at current time
This is a nice computer for someone who is into Macs. That's only about 4% (compared to about 40% for PCs), though. But the laptop has something for everyone. First of all, it has lots of inputs - USB, FireWire (IEEE 1394), and more. So you can...

Pros: Beautiful industrial design, perfect size, good performance, well-made, great value Cons: limited expansion options, somewhat smallish display, won't run PC software but that's a separate issue...
My brother was looking for an inexpensive laptop for law school in the fall. I originally suggested to him the G4 Titanium Powerbook, but it was out of his budget so I began looking for a decent PC laptop under $1500. I looked at some of the cheaper IBM...

Pros: Runs like a dream with all the bells and whistles you could need. So inexpensive! Cons: CD-ROM eject stinks and the OEM RAM isn't quite enough.
Upon first glance, I particularly noticed how tiny this iBook was. It’s a mere 11.2 by 9.1 inches and is only 1.5 inch thick, weighing just about 5 pounds. The screen is rather small at 12.1 inches, but for a portable computer, it truly is the perfect...

Pros: portable, internal modem, macintosh user-friendly, sufficient speaker Cons: no floppy disk drive, only one USB port
I have used and enjoyed Macintosh computers for years, preferring them over the "C:" cursors of the pc's - I LIKE cute little icons, and "pointing and clicking" - I bought the iBook in October 2000, and have enjoyed it immensely- it actually has...

Pros: Fast, easy to use, nice display Cons: Limited expandability
I recently purchased an ibook and I love it. I first became interested when i noticed the price. I had been looking for a laptop and had done quite a bit of research. Everything out there was priced $400-$500 more than what i paid for the ibook. It's...

Pros: Easy, fun, simple, Apple, cute! Cons: Not everyone has one
My iBook SE is my very first computer. For years I have worked with computers on the job, both PCs and Macs, but I was waiting for the exact right computer to hit the market to put my own cash on the line.
Finally, Apple produced the answer...

Pros: The Best thing Apple has come out with since a long time Cons: Needs More comfort with Keyboard
A Beautiful Piece Of Work By Apple.Asthetic wise better than the IBM i-Series Notebooks.Available in the most varied no of colours my favourite being Red.
The most attractive thing however is the screen that extends over the entire top...

Pros: the most portable portable Cons: slightly large case, smallish screen
When I first got my iBook, I was terrifically excited about having a laptop for the first time. I carried it everywhere, did all my computing on it, for at least two weeks. It was everything I'd hoped it would be. I couldn't understand why no one else I...

by iBen , Jun 23 '01
Pros: Great Value, extra sharp screen, solid keyboard, fast, svelte, good drive selection, stylish, superior connectivity Cons: ludicrous memory prices, awkward CDtray eject, disappointing combo-drive burn speeds, slow 66mhz bus
The first iBook was, like the first iMac, trying to make too radical of a statement. The monstrosity weighed in at nearly 7 pounds. When opened, it looked like an orange toilet seat. When closed, it looked like a Hello Kitty purse (especially with that...
