iBook

Pros: simple, sleek, easy to use

Cons: need to max out RAM for best performance

The Bottom Line: Get one. Small, simple, sleek, it's perfect :)

Review: UPDATE - 03.16.03
I have since bought a cell phone (Samsung A500 from Sprint) and the compatible SnapSync data cable. I heard that I might be able to use my cell phone as a wireless modem, so I bought the data cable, plugged it in and...

Pros: Screen clarity, DVD/CD player, iTunes, virus free, bulletproof OS, quiet keyboard, silent computer

Cons: battery charge, OSX compatibility, sporatic internet connection, dual function F-keys

The Bottom Line: Try a Mac out, you may never see Microsoft in the same way again!

Review: I have had my iBook since the last quarter of 2003, and I have been using the internet with it for the past year and a half. This computer has done what I want it to do with very few exceptions, despite those exceptions being pretty annoying. Let's ...

Pros: Great design, reliability, ease of use

Cons: Heavier than 12-inch model, only have 256 MB RAM

The Bottom Line: Go get yourself one of this iBook or the 12-inch ones that is lighter and more portable.

Review: This bigger iBook is great for almost every person. Exceptional quality blends with a design that only “cool” can describe. When the iBook arrived, I pulled it out of the shipping carton. Then I immediately noticed the white package that housed...

Pros: Lightweight-battery life-crisp screen-included software is top notch - gorgeous design

Cons: Adding RAM to 640MB is a must - speakers are tiny

Review: As a university student, I was in the market for something simple but still capable of handling lots of typing and the usual Net surfing, watching DVD's and storing my MP3's. Having never used Mac OS before I was a little hesitant in buying the iBook; ...

Pros: Easy to learn and use. Built-in wireless and bigger screen than current MacBooks.

Cons: Outdated, a bit slower

The Bottom Line: Absolutely recommend a Mac over PCs. If need a cheap laptop with OK performance, this is a good option.

Review: Computer is outdated now if looking for high performance laptop. Good for general internet surfing, e-mail, and word processing. If you are looking for a high performance laptop, I would go for a newer Mac (MacBookPro) not this. If you need a laptop ...

Pros: Easy to use, portable, reliable, and all-in-all fun to own.

Cons: Why won't my mouse work?!!!!!!

The Bottom Line: More than an ordinary laptop, great for both experienced and inexperienced users. I would eagerly buy another if they were less expensive.

Review: I've had my iBook for over a year and have been more than pleased with it's performance. It's light (5-6 pounds), fast, and reliable. I use it for web and graphic design, word processing, Internet searching, editing movies, email, and movie/music ...

Pros: Intuitive functioning. Visually appealing.

Cons: Poor built-in speaker quality. Case scratches easily. Battery case does not sit flat.

The Bottom Line: Reliable, easy to use and fun to work with. A good laptop.

Review: I did a lo of thinking before getting a Mac. I have been using Windows based machines for years, and was worried that using OSX would cause me communication problems in a predominantly "Windows world." It hasn't. I have the 800 mhz iBook with 640...

Pros: Screen quality is excellent for a laptop

Cons: Airport card and screen brightness drain the battery far too quickly

The Bottom Line: Recommended for high end users. For the everyday word processing and internet, shop around.

Review: My reasons for getting a laptop were school work first and foremost, internet second, and music and photo third. I have grown up with pcs, using them mainly for word processing and internet, and I was prepared to continue with what I knew until I...

Pros: great design, ease of use

Cons: power cord will break

Review: Don't get me wrong. This computer is great in many ways. But after about a year, my power cord started fraying at the connector. And I discovered that this wasn't covered by Apple's 3-year warranty (which is pretty expensive). And then I discovered that ...
