Apple PowerBook Review (pics, specs)

 

The Powerbook is Apple's desktop replacement style notebook, but unlike most PC notebooks in this category, the Powerbook is not bulky, nor is it thick and heavy. In fact, the Powerbook is about as thin as mainstream notebooks get, and as light as I...

This is a laptop that fits in more categories than I ever imagined a single computer could. It is thin, light, powerful, beautiful, has a gorgeously large widescreen, and it makes me happy just looking at it. So, would I recommend this computer to...

Macintosh Powerbook 1400cs/117

 

Since the introduction of the PowerBook 5300, Apple has lost all the respect that it had ever gained in the laptop market. Software conflicted with it. The batteries caught on fire, forcing an embarrassing recall. Overall, the 5300 was a total...

Economy, large screen, excellent full-sized keyboard. Ease of use - It's a Mac!

Slow. Tiny hard drive, somewhat dim screen, bad AC port placement. Heavy.

It is a Mac but not the best one

 

While I prefer this computer over a PC, it would not be my first choice to buy as a used computer. I have had this laptop for about six years. I have upgraded it to Mac OS. 10.4 and boosted up the RAM, graphic card and so on. Therefore, I do not see a ...
