Apple PowerBook G3

The G3 PowerBook is a great laptop machine. It's a little bit weighty, but I think the hassle of lugging it around is far outweighed by the joy of using it. As a Macophile I can never sing the praises of Mac OS enough, I find it so much more intuitive than Windows as an operating system, and as a consequence the powerbook is very easy to operate. It's got bags of RAM, decent clock speed - especially if you go after the 400 version - and is easily maintained and upgradeable. The pop out compartments for battery, CD drive, DVD etc, make specing the machine to ones personal taste a doddle. The battery has loads of hours in it, particularly with the economy ...

so that you are able to plug in a digital camera/video camera and directly download the data on to it. Probably the thing that I like best about this PowerBook is that when it is open, it looks just as neat and stylish as when it is shut. It also for some reason looks small when it is open? I think this is due to the widescreen LCD instead of a normal LCD. It also comes with a very fast ethernet port so it can be networked easily and instantly unlike its PC rival computers which all need network cards installing for extra cash, which is very bad. The computer itself is blisteringly fast and can perform complex tasks in a matter of seconds. It can also play the best ...

Apple PowerBook G4 M9689B/A

its not over sensitive like on some notebooks. The G4 fits very easily into almost any rucksack or briefcase, leaving considerable room to spare. Curiously, Apple claims the G4 PowerBook is almost a kilo lighter than the previous G3 PowerBook which was also a kilo lighter than its predecessor. The locking and release mechanism on the G4 is ingenious. A tiny magnet pulls down a hook, securing the lid when its closed. You'll find yourself closing the lid as much as you can without actually shutting it just to see the little hook as it is pulled down, rather like trying to see if the fridge light ever goes off. It should be quite interesting to see how this kind of ...
