Apple PowerBook G4 (M8859LL/A) Mac Notebook

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

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,...

Pros: Sleek design. Large Screen. Combo DVD-R/CD-RW drive
Cons: Price, hard to connect to a standard projector

Finally, a 1 Ghz machine from Apple! I couldn't wait to place my order in November. For over a year I had patiently waited to upgrade my 500 MHz PowerBook with at least a 1 Ghz machine. Apple unleashed this machine in early November and I was online...

Pros: Drips elegance from every angle, is the perfect mobile design studio, makes others jealous
Cons: It's BIG (but not heavy), faxing is buggy, makes others jealous

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...

Pros: Impressively fast, sleek, still gets admiring looks. Big improvements over old version
Cons: It's expensive. That's about it.

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...

Pros: Huge Display, Superdrive (iDVD), Shiny Silver, Fast
Cons: Awkward sized laptop, one firewire port, battery sleep issues

So where are my blue tights & red cape? Because it's clear SuperDrive is here. And it'll make you feel like a Superhero with it's speed, strength, stablility and shiny shiny Titanium.

Every since Apple released the PowerBook G4 laptop I have...

Pros: Its an Apple
Cons: Expensive, but you already know that

First some background on me. But first, I will not go into a long winded emotional explanation as to why I love this machine as much of that is subjective, I will give my reasons for why this machine better than other high end laptops in the $2000 price...

Pros: -OS X (unix) -Beautiful design -Amazing screen -Super Drive
Cons: -Price $3000 -The envious looks people give you when you whip one out

Pros: good looks, fast, great hardware
Cons: easily scraped, bottom gets got enough to make your legs burn

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 ...

Pros: Stylish, trouble-free, sexy, idiot-proof, international and intuitive
Cons: needs gentleness. not cheap.

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 ...

Pros: Fast, elegant, crash-free, intuitive
Cons: Poor wireless reception

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...

Pros: Simply the best laptop out there
Cons: NONE

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...

Pros: Size, portability
Cons: Ridiculously high price, slow performance, bad paint job

After many years (literally) of weighing this purchase, I'm fully in the "really wish I hadn't" category. I hadn't owned a Mac since a bad experience with a Performa several years ago, and this Powerbook isn't the machine to bring me back into the Mac wo ...

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.

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....

Pros: Elegant design, Excellent performance, Impressive interoperability with Windows environments with OS X.
Cons: I can't think of any

I bought this computer in the summer of 2003 to support my marketing consulting business. Since I was primarily working on my own - writing, doing marketing strategy, etc., I was free to use pretty much whichever computer I wanted to. Now, I've moved ...

Pros: sleek, seamless, transparent, smooth, fast, beautiful display, solid
Cons: too pretty, and a bit pricey.

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 ...
