Author's Review
Upon purchasing my PowerBook, the first thing I thought was "Wow, this thing is light!". And that it is, compared to my old Dell Inspiron laptop. It's so easy to carry around, be it at a school campus, home, or work. But it goes far beyond that. Since owning my PowerBook, I haven't had a single virus, no weird random freezes or software problems that generally come along with using a PC. Originally, I purchased it for use in my music studio. I had heard from numerous engineers that Macs are the best for multimedia. I couldn't agree more. I no longer have to worry about my computer freezing up in the middle of a recording and losing everything. To me, that is priceless. My only cons are that the built-in speakers are not very loud, and because the PowerBook is made of metal, it doesn't pick up wireless service as well as others made with plastic. But, on the other hand, the metal casing is very durable, and protects well against wear and tear.
