How does the new 1.33GHz iBook compare to the 12" PowerBook?

Date of Review:  Aug 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Probably the best value in a laptop computer toda. Buy one!
Review: Last week Apple quietly upgraded the existing 12 iBook from 1.2GHz to 1.33 GHz while keeping the price the same. While on the surface this looks like a minor upgrade, like the PowerBooks back in late January, this is actually a significant feature...

A Computing Little Charmer

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a simple to use computer that you can depend on and trust, then buy an iBook G4. I'm confident that you won't regret it.
Review: UPDATE:

I took the computer to my local Apple Dealer to present my keyboard issue. They ordered in a new keyboard. It arrived within three days. The dealer installed this new keyboard and the space bar issue has been resolved perfectly...

The Power Is There

Date of Review:  Sep 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: I recommend this computer on it's value to the customer. I think it'll offer many years of service and will fit their needs.
Review: Apple has given us a fine laptop with many features that are needed for almost every user. This iBook boasts a 1.33Ghz PPC processor for maximum speed. This is the fastest processor Apple has ever endowed on this 12" iBook. Apple beefed up this...

Best Computer I've Ever Owned

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: Awesome, awesome system. Simply the best computer I've ever had. Period. It's fast, easy to use, and bulletproof to boot. Highly recommended to ANYONE.
Review: Right out of the box, I was impressed. The sleek, contoured design, with the glossy white finish was simply a sight to behold. I've already turned a few heads sitting in the hallway using this thing.

As soon as I hit the switch, the system...

You CAN make the switch!

Date of Review:  May 25, 2005
The Bottom Line: The best value in notebooks out there. You'll love its looks, performance, and ease of use. 100% recommended!
Review: As a student, when my 4-year old Gateway desktop died, I had to act fast to get a new computer so I could finish my thesis and papers before the end of the semester. I'm thankful every day that I took the plunge and ordered and iBook G4 12" laptop...

New Ibook is gleaming fun

Date of Review:  Mar 3, 2006
The Bottom Line: Wish they would sell a SuperDrive with the 12 inch
Review: I am writing this on a (so far) gleaming white Ibook G4, which I have to say is pretty cool. So yes, after 15 years of Windows computing and repairing I am taking a left turn into wow and a right turn away from rebooting.
First impressions?...

Dear god. I bought a Mac.

Date of Review:  Apr 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: The iBook is a fine compuer, and inexpensive. Most people will be more than satisfied with the iBook out of the box.
Review: Don't worry; Yes, I like my iBook.

I've always been an Intel PC user (i.e. a Windows user.) the notion of having a Mac was always more of a geeky pipe dream for two really good reasons:

Great Computer.

Date of Review:  Mar 13, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is a great buy, especially now as you can get it very cheap used. Very easy, even for those with few computer skills and unfamiliar with Mac.
Review: I bought this laptop in January of 2005 when I began my Masters Degree program. At that point, I bought the computer new and had memory added to it. I had been using a 1998 Compaq, so this was a BIG change.
I love everything about this...

My life is complete with an iBook and some Johnny Walker Blue

Date of Review:  Mar 16, 2005
The Bottom Line: If this laptop is your primary computer, get an AppleCare plan. I have used it about 3 times with my G4 iMac, and they are very helpful.
Review: Warning: I am a Mac Fanatic. I instantly lose respect for those who have never built their $20,000 dream system on Apple.com. I hold up a cross and stake when I see a Sony Vaio come my way. I have to control my fists of fury when someone talks smack...
