get one!

by jrconti , Jul 02 '02
Pros: fast, cheap & capable, white & light
Cons: squeeks, not a G4
essentially, it's a solid little computer for people with big needs. if you arn't doing heavy duty graphics, or feel the need for the slothful OS X (but yes Apple-heads, it's getting better), it easily will surf, scan, rip, process, entertain and amaze...

My Favorite Computer

by zedorzee , Jul 04 '02
Pros: Looks good, fast enough for everyday computing, great screen, good tech support.
Cons: Lack of PC Card slots
I purchased my iBook (600MHz Dual USB) in January 2002, and I think it's pretty close to the best computer purchase I've ever made. I use it for everything, and I've found it's able to do everything I need it to do -- web development, photo editing,...

The Best Little Buddy

by wwpsd , Jun 14 '02
Pros: Powerful, efficient, stable and stylish. With the Mac Airport, its a dream.
Cons: Power cord adapter plug-in not tough enough; had to replace after 1 month.
I bought the iBook after a lifetime of pc use; I was enticed to buy a Mac after seeing the Apple Airport (wireless modem) in action. The combination of this light, uttlerly portable laptop and the wireless modem means I can move the computer around the...

A nice blend of features, size, and performance

by mark_ufl , Aug 06 '02
Pros: Great design, Solid performance, Mac OS X easy to use, Nice Application bundle
Cons: No monitor spanning, newbies might not like support options
[UPDATE: May 14, 2004] It appears that this review is still being read somewhat, so I'll make a few additions to reflect the current iBook lineup. With the 1 GHz G4 Processor, the iBook is now well positioned to handle even more than before. Video ...

Truly the hub of your digital lifestyle.

by PhilipG , Jul 27 '02
Pros: You really can do anything on this machine.
Cons: None significant.
This machine, like most Apples, really is a snap to use right out of the box. It comes with a phone cord and an AV-out cable for use with a projector or the like. In less than 5 minutes I was online and surfing the web. Right out of the box, no...

Bravo Apple!

by mookiekong Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 04 '02
Pros: Small, light, powerful, combo DVD/CD-RW drive, Unix-based OS
Cons: Small screen, slower processor, initial RAM too little
Years ago I used to be a staunch Macintosh user. I was a big user when System 7 was around and used Macs all the way up to System 8.5. My last Mac was a PowerMac 7200, but I had other Macs also -- PowerBook 180, Duo 230, PowerMac 6100, and my beloved...

I switched! (the media hype got to me)

by whitesf , Aug 28 '02
Pros: Smooth design, OSX, you can run linux apps on it, compact and light
Cons: Bad battery compartment design, the help is horrible
Make the switch
Okay, I didn't totally switch. I still use my 2 PCs for work and play, but now I have a Mac to learn on and travel with. My old IBM ThinkPad finally crapped out, and I decided to take the plunge in the world of Apple.

Power and Privacy

by jcgrow , Aug 16 '02
Pros: Keeps Microsoft's snoops away, beautiful power, CD-RW, DVD, great software
Cons: More power than necessary for beginning computer users
I got my first iBook just a few weeks ago to use in my consulting business. I travel all around the country conducting interviews and psychological analysis, and so I need to enter information, write reports and give information on the go. Internet...

The Apple iBook is great!

by liveapple2000 , Feb 18 '02
Pros: Size, Speed and Ease of Use.
Cons: EXPENSIVE, 128MB of RAM is slow.
The iBook is the first notebook I ever had and I think it is great. The new Mac OS X is fast and reliable and runs applications error-free. 128MB of RAM is not enough but is perfect if all you do is go online and run AppleWorks, AIM and simple apps....

my iBook

by matrim112830 , Dec 01 '02
Pros: Excellent machine, compact but powerful
Cons: power cord needs work
This little machine is the best thing to happen to laptops. It is so compact and yet so powerful. You know what they say 'dynamite comes in small packages.' I am relatively computer unsavvy. But this laptop is so easy to use. Things i never thought i...

Moved from PowerBook to IBook

by cneuhardt , Oct 13 '02
Pros: Size, style, simple to use
Cons: Needs 256 mg RAM standard
When my ancient PowerBook needed replaced due to age, I looked at what I used the laptop for. As a supplement to my desktop unit, the laptop needed to offer many of the same features--but would not be used as heavily. Size, portability and ease of use...

It's better than getting a puppy!

by halamtx , Nov 17 '02
Pros: It's really fast, and light.
Cons: no built-in handle like the older ibooks
I believe i should be on the Apple testimonial commercials. I am photographer and have made the switch from PC to mac. I was able to transfer all my files and access them all on the mac. The I book is incredibly fast for being so compact.

Best computer I have ever owned

by gnigamica , Nov 22 '02
Pros: fast, light, long-lasting battery, bright display, stable, beautiful to look at.
Cons: Little bit of trouble integrating with Windows network.
This iBook is my first Mac. I come to it from the world of Intel/Linux, but I do use an iMac at work so this wasn’t much of a switch in the sense that I was quite familiar with the OS and the Mac hardware in general. The fact that the iBook runs OS...

This apple is solid to the core

by solohans1 , Nov 25 '02
Pros: New user interface(OSX) based on UNIX, attractive and durable design
Cons: Should have more memory and an owner's manual
I was tossed back and forth from Bill Gate's and Steve Job's. Where and what is the future of the operating systems? Will software companies and those who provide peripherials for computer continue to support
Apple? I'm convinced that the answer...
