    The best, if in doubt compare ANY computer to it.

    These laptops kick rocks! Easy to use, small, light weight, stylish. They have everything you need in a portable computer.

    Great computers. I've had two different ones, the 180 and the 540c. Hopefully I'll be buying a Pismo or a iBook soon.

    I have the TiPB running at 400 MHz with a 20 GB hard drive. An extraordinary machine. Sleek, gorgeous screen, light, powerful, reliable. I have used Apple's stuff for the last two decades. When my friends tell me about the shoddy goods they get from some of the leading providers of PCs, I now just smile and think, "Duh! What else do you expect?" The quality of the Apple and its PB line is tremendous. And, if you still need your Wintel environment for some (odd) reason, partition the hard drive, install Virtual PC, and it will probably run better than the unit you've been using previously. What you will know is that (1) you have both the easiest operating environment (Mac OS) and that other one available and (2) this computer will almost certainly give you uninterrupted and quality use for years to come.

    If you must have an Apple get the Titanium, first decent Apple since original Macintosh. I might switch from Dell for that one.

    This is one of the few computers that have sex appeal. The combination of weight, power, battery life (5 hours per battery!), and form combine to make this the best laptop on the market. Also, the display on it is one of the best out there.

    Best laptop on the market. It has no competitors. No laptop is faster or more efficient. Also the best graphics accelerator.

    As reliable as any Mac. Nice for those that want a little more poer and don't necessarily need or want the user friendly atmosphere afforded by the IBook. Just be aware of the touch pad mouse. It tends to get in the way when typing so you may think you're writing one place, only to find you've typed somewhere else.

    With the prices of these beautiful machines coming down every month, those wanting a machine capable of being a full desktop replacement should seriously consider the Powerbook. The 400-500Mhz chip is accompanied by a fantastic graphics card used to play the DVD's that fit in to the DVD-ROM that comes standard with the unit. USB, finewire and a PC card slot accompanied with the ability to attach an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse make it a great machine. Plus, the battery life is great for when you're on the road.

    I own one of these. I haven't been dissapointed yet on the reliability of it. Apple's are always easy to use.

    Sleek, elegant and easy to use. Brings a sense of style to mobile computing. Very large screen makes it easy to surf the web and get work done. Fairly light, considering the large screen and devices installed.

    I can take this anywhere and still act as if it was plugged into my wall at home. SO FAST!

    The perfect notebooks. These machines are lightning fast, easy and good looking. They run beautifully, almost all my friends have one, and they love them. One of my friends had a hard drive problem, but got it fixed under warranty, though.

    I love Apple computers, and I love my powerbook. It is many years old, but it is quite dependable, and as useful as my desktop. I just wish they could figure out a way to make the batteries last longer.

    I have owned a Powerbook for almost a year. It gives good, trouble-free service. Also, it is still one of the fastest computers on the market today.

    I prefer to use PC instead of Apple at school. Here we have an Apple notebook, and it is okay to use it for sending email; However, the characters are too small to read. It isn't easy to proofread papers printed from the computer.

    I have a 250 MZ G3. Great computer with plenty of speed. If Apple improved the battery to work longer, that would be great. Lightweight and small. Durable, as I've accidentally dropped mine off an airport counter, but everything still worked. It does however freeze often and "goes to sleep," and has to be restarted if its been too long without activity.

    The best software on the planet! Very powerful and fast. No need for a desktop with this unit.

    This computer has very good graphics and sound. It has a fast processor and lots of memory if you choose to add it on. I personally like the design and the shape of the computer. I like that it is different and new.

    I did my dissertation on a 520c and I have been very happy with my current 3400c. If I had the money, I would get a G4 powerbook.

    Can't say enough good things about this laptop. Nice size, slim, with a big screen. Fast, crisp clear images and colors. Just a great piece of hardware.

    This notebook is good for graphic especially for those who are graphic designer. My boyfriend uses it, and he likes it. It's clear and easy to read. It has a big screen monitor when we open more than one file.

    It doesn't get much better than a PowerBook G3. They are fast, they are sleek, and they have great video features. They may be heavier than most, but it is well worth the extra strain.
