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

Pros: Absolutely beautiful. Very fast. Light and comfortable.
Cons: The case scratches easily. A larger hard drive.

I have owned my Apple Ibook for two weeks now and I am consistently impressed by it.

I had been wanting to break free from the MS monster for some time, but Apple's are consistently too expensive. Finally, they created a consumer priced...

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: Great Value, Long Battery life, Great attention to detail
Cons: Loud with CD, No audio input, first version is skimmpy on the RAM and Hard Drive space

I was one of the first people to recieve an iBook after Apple introduced it last July. I got it through Apple's Applestore on the web. After months of waiting my Blueberry iBook finally arrived in October and I was very excited. My first impressions of...

Pros: Modern look, Macintosh OS
Cons: Speakers, not enough inputs.

I am a freshman college student and I got my iBook for school. I love my computer to death, but there are a few complaints that I have with it. First, because the keyboard on the iBook is removable, it tends to move when you don't want it to. I have...

Pros: fast
Cons: no video output

Try to thik yourself this situation: I am working as a project manager for a german event agency. This causes that I have to present a concept some times. Last month during one of these presentations my PC laptop crashed showing my client 'System shut...

Pros: easy to use, dependable, cool looking
Cons: Not the fastest. Keyboard is definitely different

I purchased the I-book as a machine to use on vacation and as a portable to be used in conjunction with my home machines. I have been a mac user for 5 years so I know what to expect from the operating system. Yes I have known my machines to lock up or...

Pros: fast and easy
Cons: still has some bugs to be worked out...

Apple computers are easy to use for those who are not on the up and running in the computer field. My school district provided the computer for my use between school sites. I was able to manage my caseload, keep schedules organized, hold meetings and...

Pros: Fast, runs multimedia applications well
Cons: More expensive to upgrade or buy software, no Floppy Disk Drive

One of my Co-Workers just bought one of these notebooks, and brought it in to show me. Why she didn't buy a Sony I will never know (we work for Sony...but she works for the Consumer Products part and I work for the PC Side) but I personally think she...

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: Nice design, long battery life, good OS.
Cons: reset button hard to get at, BAD speaker, paying mostly for color

I recently purchased the new iBook special edition because I was going to be away from home for the summer and I didn't want to have to lug a desktop computer back and forth. I also became interested in the Apple Macintosh platform at this time, and I...

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: easy to use, portable, CD-rom drive
Cons: no floppy disk, heavy

I've had a PC for five years. The same PC. It was never top of the line, even when it was new. I managed to make it last for five years, but by the beginning of this summer it was obvious to me that it would not make it to college. It had started to...

Pros: light, cute, works great
Cons: needs more memory than 64 M

I just got a new iBook-- tangerine. I DO recommend getting the memory upgrade-- sad to say it, but it seems that 64 M just does not do the trick anymore. This laptop is ergonomic, light, cute as the dickens, easy to use, and the handle is WONDERFUL for...

Pros: Stylish
Cons: Not too much software readily available for Macs.

This ibook is sweet and to the point of fast applications, boot up, and graphics rock! My brother purchased a Graphite ibook, recently and brought it over here to show me. I was very impressed by the boot up time, close down time, and the smooth...

Pros: Speed.
Cons: Design.

I have had both an IBM compatible and now an iBook, and I think that what the iBook makes up for in speed it loses in its design. The screen in my opinion is far smaller than any lap top I have owned, and the machine itself is much to clunky and far...
