As a student, when my 4-year old Gateway desktop died, I had to act fast to get a new computer so I could finish my thesis and papers before the end of the semester. I'm thankful every day that I took the plunge and ordered and iBook G4 12" laptop ...

Cons: A tad heavier than most 12" laptops, no line-in, meager basic specs, prone to stains

Pros: Cheap, powerful, great battery life. Cute design.
Cons: It's a mac. Narrow hardware & software support. Not enough RAM for hardcore computing tasks

Cons: Steal/borrow your Mac friend's iLife 2005 DVD.

Warning: I am a Mac Fanatic. I instantly lose respect for those who have never built their $20,000 “dream system” on Apple.com. I hold up a cross and stake when I see a Sony Vaio come my way. I have to control my fists of fury when someone ...

Pros: Lovely
Cons: Soon to be obsolete with Intel chips coming; plastic easily scratched.

I am writing this on a (so far) gleaming white Ibook G4, which I have to say is pretty cool. So yes, after 15 years of Windows computing and repairing I am taking a left turn into wow and a right turn away from rebooting. First impressions? The ...

Pros: G4 processor, comes with Tiger (10.4), combo drive
Cons: Not even close to enough RAM

It does what its supposed to, but not right out of the box. I purchased this iBook as an upgrade to my old G3 700 that I had for two years. The G3 couldn't handle my FileMaker Pro database for my business. This one can... After I upgraded the RAM to ...

Pros: User friendly, durable, easy to transport
Cons: Power cord is flimsy, gets dirty quickly

I bought this laptop in January of 2005 when I began my Masters Degree program. At that point, I bought the computer new and had memory added to it. I had been using a 1998 Compaq, so this was a BIG change. I love everything about this computer. It ...

Pros: It's a Mac. Excellent battery life. Good screen. Nice keyboard. Included programs.
Cons: Not much power for those so inclined. Definately basic by today's standards.

I bought my ibook G4 from CompUSA. Although I grew up on Macs (children of the 80s, didn't we all?), I had been using an IBM thinkpad for 5 years prior. When looking for a new computer I did my homework, searching all the review sights obsessively. ...

Cons: Doesn't make coffee in the morning!

Pros: Size, Wieght, Features + Sleek Design. OSX Rocks!
Cons: It's White color can be a con. Show's everything, but then it's kinda cool too

I can't put my Apple iBook down. While I use a p4 Sony PCG-FRV28 w/ 2.8 ghz processor for work & play - this Apple iBook has got to be one of the best portables going. The light factor really comes into play for me, being that the Sony is a brick in when ...
