Advantages: cheap and cheerful

Disadvantages: you get what you pay for

The apple Ibook is admittedly a very revolutionary design but so far I am unhappy with it. Yes it is an apple which does make it a shade above the rest of the PC flock but you can't make a laptop for 1000 it isn't possible. They aren't making a loss this year apple were massively in profit so they must be skimping. This is evident when you use the Ibook good as it is it ain't perfect in fact it on some scores is really pretty poor the graphics are cramped onto a small screen and the resolutions are limited it does have some good points it is very well designed and thought out as a machine and the sound is great due to the BOSE designed speakers, it looks nice which is always a bonus however its performance isn't great far from a games machine and fairly below par for apple. I would prefer to spend my money on a good second hand machine if possible as they are just as powerful and a lot cheaper now. Try one they are great but they are hard to live with think about it spend more money on a snazzy black G3 laptop or risk a second hand model not the latest but still helluva good.
