Begone, Fruit!

by Andyman Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 04 '01
Pros: Light, tough, amazingly huge screen, built-in support for DV, wireless networking, dual-monitor
Cons: Smallish HD on $2500 model, no more dual-battery, still uses software DVD decoding.
-sigh- Finally, a capable computer from Apple that won't be called "fruity" or "girly."

The first PowerBook was released in 1991 and ever since then it's been a steady climb out of the land of small screens, wimpy batteries, and teensy hard...

by rfox01 , Aug 20 '01
Pros: Good hardware: Elegant, thin, lightweight design
Cons: Bad software: MacOS. Not much software for OS X yet. Pricey.
First off, let me say that I'm a long time PC user, but I have used Apples/Macs in the past. So I should provide an objective review of the PowerBook without the heavy Apple favoritism.

Designer Delight

by daviddennis Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 24 '01
Pros: Stunningly beautiful yet practical, fast and furious, draws compliments everywhere
Cons: Puny standard hard drive and memory for standard 400mhz model.
A thing of beauty that's practical too

It's hard to understate the visual appeal of this thing. From the shiny metal to the thinness of the case and brightness of the screen, it feels more like an art object than a computer.

This "Ti" is not like kissin' your sister!

by biogeek , Apr 24 '01
Pros: thin, light, stylish, large 15inch screen, DVD
Cons: may set off bomb detectors, pricey (especially for mid- to high-end models)
What’s an inch thick, weighs just over 5 pounds, is made of pure titanium, and kicks some serious PC booty? That’s right, the Apple PowerBook Titanium G4.

OK, I admit it, I am a Mac-addict, and I make no apologies for it. Over the years I...

A Comprehensive View: Stacks Up Well Against PCs

by mcjester , May 18 '01
Pros: Sexy, fast, quiet, big screen, very long battery, great keyboard
Cons: Expensive, hot
Sure, it’s gorgeous, but how does Apple’s PowerBook G4 compare to similarly-priced PCs? Very well, and that’s not even taking into account its devilish good looks.

In my laptop search, I looked for the best value among high-performance Mac and...
