Ok folks, here’s how the story goes.

Once upon a time Adi got into computers, he started building his own and generally began a learning curve that would last up until this present day. He would upgrade and update while slowly but surely...

Cons: Software instability. Incredibly poor case design.

Colour me stupid.

I had a 400mHz Powerbook G3 that I liked a lot, but it didn't have Firewire or USB ports. For some reason, I got it into my head that I needed those (I know that I wanted the USB port so that I could play my Playstation...

Pros: Great performance, beautiful display, sexy

Pros: Power, design, lots of extras.
Cons: Somewhat pricey

I've had my Powerbook G3 for just under 1 year now and I still love it just as much as the day I opened the box and breathed in the aroma of freshly minted plastic. This is the second Macintosh that I've owned and it replaced my previous desktop G3. So...

Pros: Easy to Use, PC Compatible, Simple to Upgrade
Cons: Expensive

People always seem to love Macs. For the most part, they're more user-friendly to those of us who aren't techno-wizards, they require fewer steps to do the same tasks as PCs (in less time too), and they certainly look a whole lot prettier. But, of...

Pros: Versatility, power, styling
Cons: can lock up due to software

I use this for Mac and PC applications, digital camera and camcorder, and Airport. I purchased my PowerBook G3/400 mHz in the summer of '99. I've use it a lot for presentations with a video projector at conferences, and overall it's been a joy to have....

Pros: Fast, feature-packed, cool pulsating sleep light
Cons: none

The new Powerbook G3-2000 (aka "Pismo") is the best all-around computer I've ever used. With 18 years of computer experience, I've seen a few computers; some have come close, but in terms of a pleasant computing experience the Powerbook is...

For over a year now, I have been a happy owner of an Apple Powerbook G3 (bronze keyboard) with a DVD-Rom drive.

The main benefit I feel I have enjoyed since integrating this computer into my work (I'm a student at an art & design school)...

Pros: See review for complete list
Cons: See review for complete list

I feel that the best way to write reviews is by beginning with a list of what I see as the pros and cons of a product – if you want a quick breakdown just check it out, and keep reading the review to see me give a paragraph or two explanation on each...

Pros: Easy to use and understand.
Cons: The track pad is a bit tricky.

The PowerBook G3 was a worth-while investment for me. I don't regret buying it in any way, even despite the $3,000 price tag. As a college student studying Graphic Design, I needed a computer with the power for design applications, and the portability...

Pros: Power, Speed, DVD Performance, User-Friendliness
Cons: Little Included Software, Not PC Compatible

Apple's G3 500Mhz 128MB 20G DVD "Pismo" is a productive, fast, and easy-to-use machine. The DVD works well, showing movie theater-like DVDs in the privacy of your lap or any private place you desire. Plug in your own surround-sound speakers, turn...

Pros: Fast, Versatile, Workstation class Notebook
Cons: No native serial port, still feels somewhat flimsy

I've owned several Macintosh "PowerBooks" in the past, but this is the first Apple notebook computer that really deserves the "PowerBook" name in this authors opinion. They could have easily named it the...
