ApplePowerBook G4

Pros: Still faster than MacBook Pro for PPC-only applications, tried and true technology, amazing screen

Cons: Much slower than MacBook Pro on universal applications, underwhelming battery life

The Bottom Line: The perfect compromise between portability and useability, and even in the Intel-era, the PowerBook remains a premium piece.

Review: I recently opened my own law firm, and thus had the pleasure of buying a whole slew of computers. First were the two desktop machines, a 20" G5 iMac for my office manager and a PPC Mac Mini with a 19" LCD for my associate, both of which to be reviewed ...

Pros: Excellent connectivity, snappy speed, good capacity, rock stable OS, solid design, superb software.

Cons: Sharp edge of computer is hard on the hands, track pad is too wide.

The Bottom Line: Built to last. Powerful enough to be your main computer. Consider a second keyboard if you're going to be typing for prolonged time periods.

Review: I've been using my PowerBook now for 3 months and it has proven to be a very well designed and reliable piece of equipment. It is very thin and light weight so I have gotten into the habit of carting it back and forth to work to work on ongoing projects. ...

Pros: great screen, solid machine

Cons: somewhat heavy and music can't be heard without a headphone

The Bottom Line: If you are not a small person like me, this is a powerful machine to be around. It's a jewel for its looks, screen resolution, user-friendliness, and good design

Review: This computer was bought for school work for my professor. I'm one of the user, so I'm writing a review on behalf of her. The specifications are: 1.5GHz Power PC G4 1GB memory 80GB 15" screen 2 USB ports (one on the left and another on the ...

The Bottom Line: check it out first you might make the right choice

Review: Being a pc user for many years from a 486 to p4 my travels necessitated that I got a notebook. My daughter in europe who is in art/music college asked that I get her a 12"ibook which she would pay for when I got there. I used her ibook and was ...

Pros: wide, bright, sharp screen! auto dim feature. back-lit keyboard. intuitive operation. style, style, style!

Cons: airport reception poor. keys are "slippery". DVD drive is noisy.

The Bottom Line: great machine!

Review: I have had mine for a month or so, and it never ceases to amaze me. I especially love the backlit keys, cause I do a lot of work in the dark (poor sleeper due to back injury), and the auto dim feature of the screen- I didn't know it had that! I look ...

Pros: Slim, light, innovative, easy to use, no viruses.

Cons: Screen can be too close to the keys when closed.

The Bottom Line: If you just do data entry and email, buy a PC and back up everything frequently. If you want a computer that does more, invest in an Apple.

Review: I am a die hard Mac fan. I have had better experiences with Macs than with any other computer. I am sure that Windows fans say the same for their PCs, but Apples ease of use and stable platform (not to mention the lack of problems with viruses) are all ...

Pros: a Unix operating system with a great user interface. so easy to use.

Cons: SOME business software isn't supported (call your vendors and check.. chances are it is.)

The Bottom Line: Total cost of ownership far makes up for the initial cost of buying a mac. Plus they're just fun. you actually enjoy using your computer.

Cons: Ports on the sides rather than the back

Review: I recently purchased the new 15" Powerbook after deliberating and saving for nearly a year. I have to say that it was both worth the wait and worth every penny. I have no real complaints about this product. The attention to detail Apple has shown in ...

Pros: Great screen size, overall quality is great, great purchase

Cons: battery life needs improvement, sometimes a bit slow to load things

Review: I got my mac G4 used on eBay, and I must say that for this laptop being it's age, it's great! I had to replace the battery at first, since it does lose power fairly quickly and the one I had didn't hold a charge, but new batteries can be purchased ...
