Apple iBook (M8599LL/A) Mac Notebook

Pros: It's an Apple Macintosh. It's a very portable portable.
Cons: Outdated. Very poor battery performance.

I bought this computer new in October of 2001, so I could take it along with me on deployment (I'm in the US Navy). This is one of the smallest notebook computer's I've ever seen or used. It is very lightweight, and the dimensions are nearly perfect. ...

Pros: Light, reasonably priced, fast, reliable, and of course it looks cool.
Cons: Short battery life, slight problems with limited software titles

So it looks good!!!!!???? That's right, it looks good, but that's not all. This one does it all, and at clocked processor speeds slower than a PC. So don't base your decision solely on proc. speed. The screen has excellent resolution. Mac OS X is a very stable platform. The common complaint is the lack of software titles, but this is becoming more and more irrelavant, as there are a number of PC emulators (software packages) which allow most PC titles to run on a Mac. The side ports are excellent for plugging in accessories. One draw back may be the short battery life, but this is compensated for by the feather weightness of the unit, allowing you to carry an extra battery. The power supply is designed well for transport and does not add a ton of weight either. This is perfect anyone from the home user looking to conserve space, to the incoming college freshman, or the high flying traveling professional
