Powerbook : Refined and Perfected

by   iBen ,  Jan 3, 2003
Pros: Sleek, Stylish; Bright, high-resolution 15.2” display; DVD-R, Superb OS, FAST, cheaper (believe it or not!)
Cons: 802.11b range still suffers; I still worry about scratches and dents
The Bottom Line: GET THIS MACHINE. It has cutting edge features anyone doing creative media would kill for. It is the best laptop available and with new lower prices to boot. No Regrets.
Review: Apple’s Flagship Powerbook G4 has long stood out from its peers and rivals. No one has been able to match its combination of thin design, huge screen, light weight, long battery life, great performance, and functionality. In its latest incarnation,...

The Bottom Line: Absolutely fantastic, it's the Lamborghini Murciélago of laptops!
Review: I bought my 867MHz PowerBook G4 just two weeks ago, and I'm completely in love with it. It's the first computer I've bought NEW since 1986! I'm a film student and a freelance graphic designer, and I was actually planning on getting a Quicksilver or...

Cons: It's expensive. That's about it.
The Bottom Line: Enormous improvements make an already legendary design even better.
Review: Back in 2001, the first PowerBook G4 was introduced to oohs and ahhs of approval. The public responded by making it a major best-seller, and thousands of people, including myself, picked one up.

But technology marches on, and a machine that...

Almost too good

Pros: sleek, seamless, transparent, smooth, fast, beautiful display, solid
Cons: too pretty, and a bit pricey.
The Bottom Line: If you want a stellar laptop and want or need Mac OS, this is one super machine.
Review: I've owned my new 15.2 inch 1.33GHz powerbook for a bit over a month now. While I know it may be too soon to say, and yes, I'm knocking on any wood I can find here, so far, not a single hiccup or glitch. This machine is so transparent, the computer ...

Review: slim, lightweight design that isn't bogged down by all those ridiculous media card reader slots and other miscellaneous garbage that PC manufacturers think is necessary. also, the Airport card is controlled via SOFTWARE, not those pointless hardware ...

Dream Machine! Fast, idiot-proof, reliable. Love and Macs

by   ubitout ,  Sep 6, 2003
Pros: Stylish, trouble-free, sexy, idiot-proof, international and intuitive
Cons: needs gentleness. not cheap.
The Bottom Line: This is a good time to get a great Powerbook that listed at over $3000 for under $2000, and it's totally state of the art.
Review: Ok, this powerbook is supposed to be "last years model". Ha! Well, theoretically, it is. There is a reason for this. Once this lawyer managed to convince her family to get it for her combined XMAS-birthday, I could hardly wait. My brother, savvy sh ...

by   aglazen ,  Apr 23, 2003
Pros: Fast, elegant, crash-free, intuitive
Cons: Poor wireless reception
The Bottom Line: This is the best laptop I've ever owned. And I've had a dozen! Elegant inside and out, operates like a fine swiss watch on steroids
Review: I had the first Apple, then switched to Windows for some ungodly reason, I think mostly because so many games and such were available. I liked all the bells and whistles, all the switches and buttons. But I grew to really hate all my windows...

Just buy one already

by   ejdish ,  Mar 20, 2003
Pros: Simply the best laptop out there
Cons: NONE
The Bottom Line: Time to make the switch folks. Get out of the corrupt windows OS and get a powerbook. It "just works."
Review: Let's go over something. If you own a laptop, you should own a Mac. A lot of people say, "Everyone where I work uses a PC and I need to be compatible." Newsflash...it is. Office for OSX is completey PC compatible and Mac can even network now with...

Best computer ever made by anyone

by   simalex ,  May 14, 2003
Pros: Blazing speed, huge HD, DVD-R. Good monitor. 1" thick. Wireless internet. A desktop on wheels.
Cons: Expensive. Very expensive. Average battery life. Wide.
The Bottom Line: This is the best computer ever made. If you can afford it.
Review: Look, if you can afford it -- and they are getting somewhat cheaper -- the TiBook is the best computer you can buy for your money. It comes with everything you could possibly ask for in either a desktop or a laptop, and it is amazingly light and thin....
