The Mac Surgeon's Computer
Pros
Small, portable, fast, efficient, and well it looks cool!
Cons
Can get VERY HOT but cools down just as well.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
Get a Mac and stay with it cause with BootCamp you can also use Windows if absolutely have to!
WOW! My PowerBook is still running with the rest and best. My profession is a Macintosh technician. Or as what most people call me as the "Mac Surgeon".
Anyways to get to my point my PowerBook goes everywhere I go when I go to fix a Mac or an iPod. It's portable, lightweight and let's face it...it just looks good. It's loaded with a superdrive, Bluetooth, Airport Extreme, 80GB HD, 1.256GB of memory, and loads of software to keep other Macintoshs and iPods running. My clients say that I'm excellent with their computers. But in truth, it's my PowerBook that does most of the work. I did have one client ask "I see what your PowerBook can do but what can YOU DO?" LOL. Heh, it even talks just like my tricked out G4 PowerMac at home. (Check out what I did with that baby in my other review!)
What I love the most about this PowerBook is that it has everything to diagnose any issue with any Mac and the beauty of that is that I don't have to drag my desktop around. All I have to do bring my lightweight PowerBook instead!
Someone once said that I can't upgrade my PowerBook all that much. Well to a point this is true. I just can't slap on a 15 inch monitor or put in a glow in the dark keyboard unless I like to have keyboards and monitors hanging outside of my PowerBook. But if you got your PowerBook tricked out with everything you will need for now and then future then you really don't have that much to worry about. It's software that really gives it it's kick.
As for upgrades I did replace that weak 40GB HD with a stronger and faster 80GB HD. For a regular consumer who doesn't know that much about the insides of a Mac or a Mac portable then this would be a difficult task. But for the Mac Surgeon it's a walk in the park!
I love my PowerBook and will never sell it!
