Powerbook G3 (400Mhz)

Pros Easy to Use, PC Compatible, Simple to Upgrade
Cons Expensive
Recommended it? Yes

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 course, you're paying for every bonus you get. My... Read full review »

As good as can be

Pros Sleek, beautiful, easy to use
Cons Could be a little lighter
Recommended it? Yes

This lap top is under $3,000. It well worth the money because even though it is a lap top it can be your basic computer. It does everything you need plus at good speed. You don't need that big MAC on your desk when you have this lap top.

I can't carry anything with much weight so even... Read full review »

Pros Power, design, lots of extras.
Cons Somewhat pricey
Recommended it? Yes

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 well, in fact, did it perform as a replacement... Read full review »

Pros Fantastic design, ease of use, hot swappable battery/bays
Cons Price, OS stability
Recommended it? Yes

Never judge a book by it's cover some say. Appearances can be deceiving say others. Looking at Apple's latest efforts in the laptop arena one is hard-pressed to abide by any of these sayings - the PowerBook's design is downright beautiful. Matte black, with gentle curves, and a stark white apple... Read full review »

Pros fast, reliable, durable
Cons loud CD-ROM Drive and somewhat heavy

Although I would hardly consider myself an computer expert, I would, as your everyday consumer, have to say that I have made a good purchase. The Macintosh Powerbook G3, is a fast (by laptop standards) 233 - 300+ MHz, depending on how much you want to spend. It is a sleek jet-black which gives it... Read full review »
