The large Apple logo on the lid glows when the screen is on; a light pulsates through the plastic shell when the machine is asleep, and the power lead glows either orange or green at the end when plugged into the machine, indicating whether the battery is charged or not.

A bit of a long-winded review this one - sorry. I did feel, however, that it was important that people considering buy an Apple Macintosh were made aware of the differences between the PC and the Mac (as a lot of the people I have spoken to about buying a Mac felt that PCs and Macs were the same). If you know the difference, skip the first section... Apples and Pears ------------------------- First things first - an Apple Mac is not the same as a PC.

Having just started using my iBook 700, let me tell you how goooorgeous it is! I would recommend this laptop to anyone, particularly current PC users: Apple has a lot to offer. Setup The computer came with a fully charged battery, which I thought was a nice touch: often rechargeable batteries need charging for up to 24 hours before you can use them. This meant that I was able to turn the iBook on immediately after getting it out of the box, and start setup. Setup itself was straightforward: I was instructed to insert 3 software discs in sequence, which featured helpful symbol coding (insert the disc with this image on it). However, it was a little ...
