Apple PowerBook G4 17": Slick Powerhouse

by daviddennis , Dec 28, 2005
Pros: It's gorgeous and it's a Mac! Beautifully made, great screen.

The Bottom Line: A computer for the egomaniac in all of us, the one that wants the biggest, the fastest and the best. And it delivers, in spades.
This reviewer recommends this product.

And so it was Christmas, and Santa, in the...
