My very first computer!

Date of Review:  Jan 27, 2005
The Bottom Line: For first computer users get a P.C., it maybe harder to learn at first but will last a long time. Mine lasted about an hour till it broke.
Review: Wow, i just received my very first computer just after a fun summer. A powerbook g-4 of course i bought it from an apple authorized dealer, recommended from a mac-head friend. I also purchased a ipod (40 GB) for my music gigs, and consolidating my...

MAC G4 17 inches of Pleasure

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: Get yourself a Mac G4 Powerbook, 17 inches. This is a great, life-altering machine.
Review: I recently converted from PC to Mac, with my purchase of the MAC Powerbook G4. I have been singing its praises ever since. This little silver box about the size of a TV dinner is pretty much my whole life. It is my office, my music, my videos, my...

Pretty to look at, BADLY designed, FREQUENT REPAIRS NECESSARY, Ice cold "customer relations" rep

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2004
The Bottom Line: Find another option. These laptops are too expensive to have to deal w/keyboards that scratch screens, flimsy hardware/parts, the constant need for repairs, and unresponsive Apple "customer relations" reps.
Review: I have had my Powerbook G4 for a year, and had numerous problems. Immediately upon receiving it, it was missing one of its little rubber feet. Not a huge deal, but it took about 3 weeks to get a replacement mailed to me.

Another problem,...

This is the best laptop period

Date of Review:  Apr 20, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you want the best laptop out there , this is it. Only way to beat it is for apple to make a G5 processor
Review:
This is my first mac ever and after using it for over a month, I can say without a shadow of a doubt I will not be going back to windows. When I received it, I couldn't to try it out. I opened the box and the first level has the instruction...

PowerBook G4=Great Computer.

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you need a laptop this is the computer for you. It is only 1 inch thin when closed, and is very well run. Apple is the best.
Review: Apple has created my favorite computer again!

I grew up using only Apple, and my brother works for Apple, in Retail. Apple is clearly the best. It is really easy to use, and with the release of Mac OS 10, it is even easier.

I...

Best Laptop On The Entire Planet

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is a top notch unit and very reliable. I recommend it especially to those who work with photo editing or video.
Review: The title says it all. Rock solid Mac OSX helps make it so. After nearly 4 months now this laptop still has my attention. I felt it would be wrong not to write about it.

The Exterior finish is an incredible anodized aluminum. Smooth to the...

My baby

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great for anyone into multimedia & on the go.
Review: If you're gonna get a laptop and are looking for quality: look no further.

Yes, it's expensive. Mac has a much higher standard than PCs do when it comes to the monitor.

No, it's not hard to go from a PC to a Mac. I dreaded using...

Amazing desktop replacement

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2003
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!
