Summary: Value
Review: This computer comes fully featured with many applications and runs faster than a PC one that my grandpa has. Apple gives you a great value in the iBook. Big value. Compact. Awesome.

Summary: Terrible Internet functionality
Review: This computer is good for two types of users: 1) hard-core Mac fanatics who were raised on these machines and know them inside-out; and 2) people with special computer needs (e.g., photo editing). For everyone else, stay away. The basic functionality on these computers simply doesn't stack up to comparable (or even slightly cheaper) PC laptops. Most importantly, browsing the Internet on this computer feels like 1997 on a PC. It crashes, freezes, takes forever to load pages, can't interact with video or sound, etc. I used to be a big Mac fan, but they have totally lost the edge. Unless you really know what you're getting into, stick with a PC. (You'll also get a lot more for your money.)

Summary: Apple - A Way of Life
Review: This is a top of the line notebook. There's no question about it...This is a fabulous notebook. It's as fast as ligtning, and comes loaded with a ton of useful programs such as Apple Works and, World Book 2003. Oh yes, and for those of you out there who've heard that Apple is not the way to go, you've been terribly mis-informed. Apple computers are the way to go. Why? Because they never freeze, they are way less likely to receive a virus, their super-fast machines, and they're beautiful. I, personally, would even choose an iBook over a Power Mac G5. This is a spectacular laptop, a thing of beaty, a speed demon, a way of life... Thank you Apple for creating such a stunning notebook!

Summary: Slow and a small screen, what is there to like?
Review: Well it's worth 2 stars because it's fine for reading email. Perhaps writing a Word document. And only if you do those things for less than 30 minutes a day (eye strain builds up after a while). It is useless for games, video, music or long term computer use. And since the CPU was slow and outdated 2 years ago, it's pratically useless now for any new software. I would say the price is great, but why spend money on something you really can't use? So unless you have almost no computing needs, buy a fast G5 or Centrino, or don't bother.

Summary: Not good for 98% of people
Review: Why be the tiny 2% of all PC users and use an OS that's outdated and SLOOOOOW and sold by a company whose CEO thinks he's god? You can think you look cool or "unique" but carrying an Apple product just marks you a freak, an elitist. Take this iBook for example. It has a very slow processor, reports of motherboard problems, and a screen that's dark and bluish (esp. right next to Sony's notebooks). Battery life gets pretty bad (<2 hours) after the first few weeks. The entire package feels cheap, even though you are paying a lot. And face it, to make it into a useful computer, you will still end up buying lots of M$ software. So might as well admit it upfront and go with the flow. It's dangerous to think you are smart by being in the 2% while 98% of the world is stupid and wrong.
