Pros Form factor is brilliant. Keyboard. Standard features. OS X.
Cons One button trackpad. Annoying trackpad. Only two USB ports!
Recommended it? Yes

The 12" Powerbook G4 1.5 gigahertz notebook is the best notebook computer I've owned.

Is it still relevant? Very much so. This is the last of the 12" models that Apple manufactured. After this, Apple moved to the Intel chips and released the "MacBook" in a 13.3" widescreen version. That... Read full review »

Pros Perfect balance of portability and performance. More stock features than any other...
Cons You better love iTunes. Soft monitor enclosure.
Recommended it? Yes

Never before have I made such a 180 degree switch in opinions; it is remarkable what actually owning an apple does for your impression of them. Now I will admit, the only thing I hate more than fashion is when functional things try to be fashionable. Not much more than a year ago I was in Bishop,... Read full review »

Pros Light, easy to use, quality is high and finish is great.
Cons Expensive to repair so buy that extended warranty.
Recommended it? Yes

I like the computer. The computer body is solid. The screen is still bright and the computer seems to be durable. I have dropped the computer on an industrial carpeted floor (cement under cheap carpet) and the machine dented. My 100 lb. dog stepped on the keyboard and screen.

The machine... Read full review »

Pros Transition, Looks, portability, ease of use, interface, performance.
Cons Performance, Battery Life, Screen Scratches, heat.
Recommended it? Yes

Before I start my review I would like you to know that I try not to focus on the features, capabilities, etc. of the object I am reviewing since it can be readily found in other reviews or in the details tab of the object. For example, if I review a printer, I assume that you know whether it has... Read full review »

Terrific Machine

Pros Feels solid, compact, very good screen
Cons 4 hour battery
Recommended it? Yes

If you're looking for a small package with real power, this maybe your answer. It seems to be a fast as my G5 desktop. It feels solid and after three months of daily use I still waiting for the first problem. OS X is rock solid. I haven't had to reboot for anything yet.

One feature that... Read full review »

After more than 6 months, it remains a solid performer

Pros Size, reliability, display, keyboard feel.
Cons Built in display latch does not always catch.
Recommended it? Yes

Before moving entirely over to Mac's, I had been an avid Think-Pad user. My favorite in IBM's line was a 560. It most closely resembles this PBook, at least in my own experience with this 12" unit. The build quality is excellent, having no flex when opening/closing the display. The small built-in... Read full review »
