Apple PowerBook G4 M9689B/A ... WLAN : 802.11b/g, Bluetooth - MacOS X 10.4 - 17" Widescreen TFT 1440 x 900 ( WXGA+ ) / The PowerBook G4 has captured the imagination of the creative community with its stunning good looks and prodigious processing power. Functionality is one of the PowerBook G4's key attributes. For instance, when most people think of portables, they're accustomed to tradeoffs, since PC manufacturers routinely sacrifice features or skimp on screen size to save a few pounds. But Mac people like to have their cake and eat it, too. Apple understands this completely and brings the full-featured ultra portable - the PowerBook G4. Allow yourself the uncompromising performance in a stunningly light package with Apple PowerBook G4!

 ... interface makes this a joy to use and so is ideal for people who dont know how to use a Computer as there is no fear of anything going wrong. Heat is an issue as the mac tends to cook your legs if you rest it for too long, still i never found this a problem during cold winters! Solidly built and is simply beutiful to look at and i can tell you i got a few jealous looks. The only issue with Macs is their lack of good games as this is clearly meant for work and not fun but these have been fixed with the newer macs thank...more

Premium Review Apple PowerBook G4 M9689B/A: I'm keeping it until Apple build another 12" (208 words)
by - written on 13/03/08 (Useful, 30 readings)
Rating:

The 12" Powerbook G4 is, my mind, a phenomenal little laptop, and until Apple goes to the trouble of designing and building a Macbook Pro with a 12" screen, I'm not going to be upgrading. No longer in production, the 12" Powerbook could probably be found for a good price second hand. I've used mine for academic work - typing essays, papers etc and frequent graphical work in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc. It's true that compared with modern computers, the processor is now outclassed, and I generally try to keep my high-end graphics work to other machines, but as a day to day laptop the Powerbook is superb. Don't be fooled by ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Mac the sharpest knife... (2795 words)

Hahaha, finally all the years of trailing around as ?the friend?, ?the houseguest?, ?the girlfriend? and now ?the fiancée? of ?him indoors? has finally paid off as the boy has come good. His latest technical contract is with a graphic design company that issues all its employees with Apple Powerbook laptops. Regular readers of my ops know how much I love techie bits and pieces and therefore can imagine the unparalled joy on my face when he came home with his new toy the other week. In the name of quality assurance and to make certain that it actually does work after his Herculean effort of lugging the machine across commuterland, I have been using it for the ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Apple PowerBook G4 M9689B/A: Twelve Inches of Portable Computing Sex (1286 words)
by - written on 10/12/03 (Very useful, 674 readings)
Rating:

There are two types of people in this world - those who love Apple Macs, and those who are wrong. i jest, of course. Mac devotees love being part of a select group as much as PC users find Mac-people cliquey and, for all i know, snobbish. If you ask me, we Mac-ophiles have plenty to be snobbish about, but we'll come to that shortly... GORGEOUS Macs tend to be things of beauty, and the G4 PowerBook range is no exception. The 12" model shares the sleek "Titanium" appearance of its larger relatives (the aluminium casing is tough, light, and an effective radiator for the heat the machine generates), but packs the same power into ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Power at your fingertips! (184 words)

to start off with, the brand new G4 PowerBook has an amazing 15.2 inch lcd screen. do i need to say more! the titanium-the smoothness of a baby's bumb. the keyboard-like caressing a Porshe 911 turbo! this machine has the ultimate power. you could shutdown an entire city without knowing it. As an Apple fan, i recomend anything made by them, they are pure genius and this machine is just a start! you can have the brand new configurations for this macintosh. the capability is just astronomical. the most the PowerBook G4 can go up to is having unlimited resources i.e. it could have from 20GB to 60GB, and the good thing is the customer is always in control. you ...  Read the complete review

Why it is called PowerBook? Is there any super power in this laptop? Lets have a deep discuss about this PowerBook and we will explore about it power. Actually it has a power of budget laptop, not a configuration power, because it has low configured budget notebook. If we are planning to go for 17" notebook but in reasonable price than we can consider it. Now I will enter in deep about the available features and its performance strategy. Generally it is out dated notebook and in present aspects it is more or less not suitable with latest applications but as a look and feel we can consider it with cheap priced 17" screen notebook. *** Now I am ...  Read the complete review
