Disposable equipment and bad service at a high price.

Date of Review:  Oct 19, 2006
The Bottom Line: Chances are they will not be a lasting investment.
Review: I was the owner of 2 of this machines. I owned the first for close to a year (late 2004), and then I purchased one for my wife (mid 2005). Overall, excellent performing machines. Stable software, no problems with virus and spy ware, and very...

Easy to use, great graphics

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2006
The Bottom Line: The notebook is easy to use and a great computer for anyone looking to use it for more than basic functions.
Review: I bought my iBook just before starting an all-online university program. I have been using my computer for 3-6 hours a day, almost every day. It is easy to use (especially if you have experience using a Windows based operating system), has great...

More than a laptop, more than an iBook, it's my recording studio

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2006
The Bottom Line: I wanted to create my home recording studio and the iBook helped me do that for under $1200. Now I can program, record, mix and burn my very own music.
Review: After reading this review, please visit my web page to hear the music produced, written and performed by me - Gareth - using this new iBook:

iBook G4

Date of Review:  Apr 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the iBook G4 or any MAC computer because of the ease of use and because you don't have the virus concerns.
Review: We had Windows systems for 10 years before we went with MACs. My husband was the first to jump the Windows ship. He got an iBook G4 and he loved it so much I bought my daughter and I one. I've had mine for about a year and a half. I haven't had one...

Great Machine, could be faster

Date of Review:  Jun 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you find a good deal on it. It isn't the latest model, but is a great overall versatile machine.
Review: I have used my ibook for a little over two years now. Always reliable, could be faster. Takes a while to boot up and shut down, for example. Otherwise I run several apps at a time on this machine with no problem.

Nice comfortable keyboard...

Apple iBook G4 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 512MB

Date of Review:  Apr 15, 2009
The Bottom Line: The iBook is great and still holds its own, despite being 7 years old. A great laptop for a student who wants an user friendly interface with a stylish design.
Review: After much deliberation my wife and I bought our first laptop, a refurbished iBook G4, on a recommendation from a friend of ours who works as a independent programer in silicone valley.
First off, the look and design of the iBook is appealing...

Great laptop for my needs

Date of Review:  Mar 13, 2007
The Bottom Line: Purchase this laptop and you won't be disappointed. It's got everything in a compact, easy to use laptop.
Review: My job includes a lot of writing, editing and shuttling emails back and forth and this laptop is so helpful with all of those. Since I use a Mac computer at the office, having a compatible Mac laptop for work that I take home is perfect.

Surprising performance, good stability.

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: Good for ordinary users. High-end gamers or heavy-duty multimedia users might want to look higher up the scale.
Review: Long ago, I was a mac user, who then switched to Windows, and then to Linux. I was never quite satisfied with Linux, as it never seemed to integrate perfectly with any computer I tried to install it on. So, I decided that my next computer would be a...

Easy-to-use laptop

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2005
The Bottom Line: I'd recommend the G4 iBook to anyone looking for a first-time laptop. It isn't a workhorse for high end programs, but is very simple and fun to use.
Review: After looking for a laptop that could be used for a replacement desktop we settled on the Apple iBook. It had the power to run our everyday program, and also gave us an opportunity to experiment with an OS that we'd never tried before.
