Amazing desktop replacement

by  openroad ,  Dec 1, 2003
20 out of 20 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Fast, stylish and attractive, gorgeous screen, powerful enough to function as a desktop replacement.
Cons: Expensive, scratches easily, on the large side for true "laptop" use.
The Bottom Line: A trendy, attractive, functional, high-speed laptop with a full complement of software. For a light-yet-portable desktop replacement, or a high-powered portable video/audio system, look no further than Apple's 17"Powerbook!

Updated: My 17-inch PowerBook Experience, and Using the 17-inch PowerBook G4 for Video Editing

by  dekudekuplex ,  Jul 22, 2003
20 out of 20 people found this review helpful.
Pros: runs MacOS X 10.2 Jaguar, fast, powerful, user-friendly, fun to use, aesthetically gifted
Cons: expensive (but worth the price)
The Bottom Line: This laptop is ideal for power users who do anything design-related, and for students or programmers who used to work in UNIX, but would prefer a more user-friendly interface.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Prior to this, I had written an earlier review that discussed the pros and cons of using the 17-inch PowerBook G4 for video editing (Part II of this one), but in this revised edition, I have added additional material discussing the process leading...

Pros: Sexy, 17" screen, DVD/CD burner, Wireless
Cons: Big, big and big... may have a issue with 10.3.3
The Bottom Line: If you want large resolution in the sexiest package that will allow you to do anything from video to chat... this is THE machine.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Many know Apple as a company that makes computers that "creative types" use. Very true. It has been that way due to specific programs originally being only available for the Mac. Time have changed. With OSX (Operating System version 10) things are...
