Recommended it? Yes

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 segment.

Pros Simply the best laptop out there
Cons NONE
Recommended it? Yes

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 Windows XP without any software add ons. The 17" is... Read full review »

Pros good looks, fast, great hardware
Cons easily scraped, bottom gets got enough to make your legs burn
Recommended it? Yes

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 switches. the PCMCIA slot is hardly noticeable...

Pros Lightweight, easy to use, cool looking, ability to read PC files on the fly.
Cons Oil and dirt on hands transfer to screen when closed AND effect paint on case.
Recommended it? Yes

I am a techie. I carry a IPAQ AND a Blackberry (which I have purchased two in the last three months, because I had to have color) so when I say I love a computer, you'd better believe I love it.

When I first purchased my Powerbook, I was concerned with compatibility with my PC files. Was... Read full review »

Pros Oh it is So stable, long battery life, and looks so Sexy!!!
Cons Expensive... but oh so worth it!!!
Recommended it? Yes

Well to start off, this laptop is not for those looking to save a few bucks. If you are considering this laptop, expect to pay for the quality it brings. 1 Ghz G4 processor (equivilant to 2.2Ghz Pentium 4), 512 MB RAM, 64 MB Radeon 9000 graphics, 15.2" widescreen display (widest screen on the...

Cons Pricey, limited software, dated interface
Recommended it? Yes

This is my first Apple and I like most everything about it.

We have your G4 back and the screen... Read full review »

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 back into a corporate environment and I'm still... Read full review »

Pros Greatest laptop on the planet
Cons Watch for screen problems like flickering pixels
Recommended it? Yes

Absolutely one of the best machines I have ever bought. Incredibly sleek, sexy, stylish. Perfect replacement for my PowerBook G3 500 FireWire which I also loved. Just when manufacturers like Toshiba designed machines to copy that PowerBooks' curvy sexy feel, Apple switched design styles again with... Read full review »
