Apple PowerBook 12.1" Notebook PowerPC G4 1.50 GHz

Strengths: Gorgeous. Lightweight. DVD-burner.

Weakness: Optical drive is sometimes noisy. USB ports too close together.

Purchased Mar. 13, 2005 at local Apple store. I am dual-booting OS X and Debian GNU/Linux on this gorgeous and lightweight laptop. I liked the Educational Discount Apple offers and I paid for the 3-year AppleCare warranty. I've seen Apple's warranty repair in action and it is MUCH faster than the no-name place I got my last laptop from. I carry my laptop every single day and so it suffers from...

powerbook 12

Strengths: great design aesthetics. great os (realy great os). it works! nice sharp screen. overall size: not too big, not too small.

Weakness: kinda pricey for being at the end of life (intel based powerbooks should arrive in a month). touchpad! the one button thing is so frustrating.

i purchased this machine through macmall.com, great pricing, & very fast delivery. i should note that i upgraded the ram from the base 512mb by replacing the 256mb module with a 1GB module (for a total of 1.25GB). i'm not sure if this has affected the performance greatly or not. i find the machine to be very responsive without slowdowns. it was very easy and was able to do it by removing a few...

The best computer ever!!

Strengths: 1. Faster than PC 2. Look better than PC 3. Original 4. It's UNIX-based and it's solid 5. Easy to use 6. Mac OSX Tiger is the best OS at this moment

Weakness: 1. Firewire 800 will be better 2. Please make super drive standard 3. 512MB built-in ram is too little 4. I wish applecare is cheaper

This is the first mac that I ever bought and so far I love it!! I am a computer science student and programming is something that I do a lot. With this powerbook, I can do everything that I wanted in its unix-based system (freebsd). It's simply great!! As for the daily uses, the powerbook handles all the work that windows can. Word? no problem, Excel? got it, Powerpoint? sure, Watching DVDs or...

12.1" powerbook ma9691ll/a

Strengths: beutiful design, great user interface

Weakness: heavier than comparable x86 laptops

I have had this laptop for about a year and I was very pleased with the user interface of os X. I have been using only linux and u**x for the last 8 years and it was quite disappointing to not discover many of the system tools that I'm used to. Even more annoying was the fact the inconsitency with /etc. It does exist for many applications, however it is completely ingnored. UI is about the only...

Apple G4 1.5 GHz 12.1

Strengths: Powerfull, lightweight,bright screen, and good HD space

Weakness: Non

Is very solid, very nice, and comfortable, lightweight and flexible, bright screen and fast. To be honest, I had different laptops and got tired of getting all pop-ups and viruses, even though I tried all kind of pop up blockers and else, and decided to try an apple, although apple still has lack of business software available but I should have peace of mind that I am not getting any or less junk...
