Pros: Pretty reliable OS, upgradeable
Cons: small speaker, won't fit on airline tray easily (coach)
The ibook was easy to get started with, right out of the box. If you're familiar with the Mac OS already, you won't have any trouble. PC users will need some time getting used to the menus and toolbars, but not much. The ibook came with 64 MB of RAM,...

Pros: Active Matrix screen, battery life, speed (with additional RAM), design, ease of use, uniqueness
Cons: annoyingly loud CD drive, weight, mono speaker
I am a computer teacher at an elementary school and purchased the iBook to determine if it would be a laptop that would benefit our teachers. This is what I think:
The Design - The "This is a $1,700 machine!!!!!!"

Pros: Lighter than the old iBook and more compact volumetrically.
Cons: Not as fast as the G4 Powerbook.
When the original iBook debuted in the second half of 1999, critics and the general public were less than impressed. Although the iBook came in several nifty colors, it was simply too heavy at ~3.2 kg, and its clamshell case was too bulky. Some computer...

Pros: Nice design and tactile feel, sturdy, handle for portability
Cons: loud CD-ROM drive, pricey
Being an avid Mac user and having the need for portability I decided upon the iBook as my choice of laptop. There are plenty of laptops available but I didn't need anything super fast nor did I want something in its traditional "formal" wear....

Pros: Quality construction, minimalist design, very silent, nice crisp screen, amazing value for money
Cons: single button trackpad, no eraser head option, awkward eject button for optical drive
I have been a windows user for several years. A couple of months ago, I purchased the "state of the art" Dell Inspiron 8000. After about a month I had a hardware failure and had to return it back and had it replaced by a brand new one which also failed...

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: Ease of use, appearance, Airport, battery life, durability, stability
Cons: small HD and memory, no firewire, DVD, airport difficult to set up, no external storage
I have had this machine over a year, and I love it. It is a beautiful machine in terms of appearance, you get it and immediately want to hug it.
The machine runs well out of the box, with easy internet set-up. It runs most Macintosh apps just...

Pros: Sleek, wireless networking, sturdy

Background: I worked at Apple from 1993 to 1996 in Hardware Diagnostics QA and went on to work in the Internet Industry since, buried in all types of hardware and software, Mac, PC and UNIX.

Pros: Great Quality, reliable machine
Cons: Small monitor, no VGA outs
I think the apple iBook could be the best machine, or the worst machine, all depending on your needs. I personnaly think the ibook is an excellent laptop for the average user. Its a good, sturdy machine for its price.

Pros: Has a nice handle to it.
Cons: The modem is very slow even though it's 56k
The ibook laptop from Apple is such a neat computer. I got it for my birthday in 1999 and has been great. I use it because I like Macs. It's easy to navigate and I can work anywhere in the home with it. It comes with a long cord so you can be away from...

Pros: cute, easily upgraded, fast
Cons: doesn't support most software
I received a blueberry ibook for graduation a few months ago. Granted, I was already biased towards Macs; I was raised on them. But the ibook has exceeded my expectations.
The ibook is a very fast computer and supports all Mac software well. The...

Pros: Small, speedy, ethernet, firewire looks beautiful, cheaps
Cons: 12.1" screen not 13.3"
First off, I'm by no means a Mac fanatic and spend as much time in front of Windows as the Mac. Although for my personal use I always retain a recent PowerMac, my previous two laptops have been Wintel - a Powerbook was just too expensive.
My...

Pros: Unique style, Rugged, Colourful! New(er) iBooks are loaded with goodies!
Cons: No firewire, One USB port, No built-in microphone, Poor internal speaker.
I bought the second release of the Apple iBook (tangerine) in March of 2000, for $2,400. Cdn. Its intended use was mainly wordprocessing and internet/email access. This release of the iBook has a PowerPC G3 300MHz processor, 64Mb RAM, 6Gb Hard Drive,...

Pros: Complete package; easy to set up and use
Cons: Pricey
I'm a Mac person from way back. 1985, to be precise. I've always had Macs around due to my work, but never actually owned one until the iBook. I wanted to buy a computer for my daughter to use that could double as something that her mother could take...
