Summary

I didn’t buy the iBook G4, but I did just spend a week using one. In fact, I was very close to buying this machine, and actually would have, had not the PowerBook 12” been better looking. Spending $400(I used student pricing, at retail iBook is...

Strength

G4 power, sexy design, incredible price

Weakness

640MB Ram ceiling, small cache

My highest recommendation.

Summary

Summary

I have been using PC's for 10 years now, I work on them all day. The last time I had used a mac was about 6 years ago in graphic design, I never even thought of switching from my PC to a mac until just recently. Portability: The 12" model is...

Strength

Overall this notebook is portable, fast, lightweight, high quality and elegant.

Weakness

One button trackpad drives me nuts sometimes. A little slow loading on some heavy apps.

Bottom Line

I am extremely happy with this Apple product, I would definitely urge anyone who is considering getting a mac to go for it, I doubt you'd regret it.

Summary

I have always been intrigued by the Apple's iBook since its introduction. Not necessarily the design, mind you. The clamshell / toilet bowl design wasn't as attractive to me as the idea that Apple was offering an affordable laptop computer. It became...

Strength

Attractive design, slot loading Combo Drive, G4 processor (finally), nice display, good battery life, portable

Weakness

Smudges easily, one button track pad, small speaker sound, CD Drive is loud.

Bottom Line

With it's sleek design, ease of use, portability and G4 processor - you can't go wrong with Apple's 12" iBook G4.
