Written By green Date Written Apr 18 2006 Summary Never before have I made such a 180 degree switch in opinions; it is remarkable what actually owning an apple does for your impression of them.

It most closely resembles this PBook, at least in my own experience with this 12" unit. The build quality is excellent, having no flex when... Strength Size, reliability, display, keyboard feel.

Written By bigevilalien Date Written Jun 28 2006 Summary If the great performance and stylish casing didn't win me over, Mac's OSX Tiger is sure to convert the most hardcore windows user.
