iBook G4 is even more indestructible than cockroaches!

Pros Extremely resilient, sleek and attractive, perfect for students, hip, white matches anything
Cons if you step on the a/c power adapter, it might break like mine did
Recommended it? Yes
The Bottom Line:  I'm recommending this to everyone! Especially people who abuse electronics the way I do!
My iBook has been through hell!

I was in a car accident and it became very airborne and slammed into the floorboard of my car.

The laptop was fine, the car, unfortunately was not (RIP, my love!)

I've stepped on this computer at least once.
I flung it around in my backpack while riding (and falling off of) my bicycle.
It got damp while in said backpack while I was riding a bike in the rain.
It's lived through being mailed half way across the country 4 times.
It sometimes sits in the hellish heat of my car in the middle of the summer in Florida for hours at a time.
I spilled coffee on it at least once, went underneath and around the battery.
My friend took it apart and put it back together so he could familiarize himself with the inside of a mac laptop.
I never use a protective laptop case (but it would probably be a good idea to...)

I think the only thing I haven't done to abuse this computer is expose it to open flame.

It's had a few common wear-and-tear over the last few years.
1. The battery no longer lasts the amazing 5 hours it did when it was new.
2. It's less shiny than it was when it was new
3. It runs a little slower than new, but definitely still good!

I only use it for minor tasks like playing music on iTunes, writing papers (and reviews, apparently), surfing the world-wide web, etc. so I can't give you a detailed report of the how it performs with any strenuous tests of a computer's limits.
