Summary: Nice screen
Review: Nice screen, but that is about it.Runs very hot. Fan is very loud. Machine is unable to accomplish any difficult task without kicking fan up to hair dryer speed. DVDs can't be enjoyed because of the very loud fan noise. Case scratches and dents easily. Mine never leaves the house, and looks [horrible]. The paint is pealing off. The screen touches the keyboard when closed and picks up finger grease from keyboard. The edges of the base are sharp and cut into wrists, limiting circulation. Extended typing is impossible. No provision to adjust processor speed. No provision to prevent hard disk from running. MS Explorer is incapable of surfing without running HDD. Machine is fragile. Seems like designers were bent on 1" design target, and forgot about durability/comfort. Included OSX has awful user interface and few features. Luckily OS 9 also runs on this platform. Wide screen iBook is better choice if you don't need true dual display support.

Summary: It Changed My Life
Review: The Powerbook G4 is one of those computers that once you start using makes you wonder how you lived without it. I have owned by Powerbook G4 Titanium for about a month and it is great. I use my PBG4 at work where we have Airport and use it for everything. I do however get frustrated when I get out of range and I am annoyed that the Powerbook has a smaller range than my old iBook. The speed is what makes me amazed. In Mac OS 10.2 this baby clocks faster than the speed limit. I love the combo drive to burn and to watch DVDs on those rainy days. Sound is great and PC Card slot is great to have. Another cool feature is the LED lights on the battery that let you tell how much power you have without turning the computer on. Also, speaking of batterteries the Powerbook is great on long business flights when you're watching a DVD and it goes long. If you're like me and you carry a spare you can change batteries without shutting down, thanks to an internal 3-minute battery. Almost everything is great. There it is.... almost. As much as I love my PBG4 there are some cons. I am disappointed that with the new PB there is no IR port as there was with the older models. I also would have liked the computer to come with more than one Firewire port. Another thing that would have been great is a set of media keys either on the keyboard or somewhere on the case to control iTunes when listening to Cds or MP3s. Despite these cons there is no reason one should not go out right now and buy one! Do it, you will not regret it.

Summary: the cleanest laptop
Review: This is an awesome laptop. My company bought me the powerbook and my coworker a HP P4 1.6 ghz- both with 512 mbs of memomry. He prefers the HP only because the applications that he uses (mis guy)is more available on windows (plus he's always been a pc guy). I've also have always been a PC user (and still am). I've compared using photoshop, quark, flash, microsoft office on both systems. Even when rasterizing eps files, i didn't really notice the speed difference. Both systems had plenty of memory and I haven't had any problems with it freezing up. The screen on the apple is so much nicer (and wider) than the HP. It is also so much easier and more reliable to burn cd's (both music and data) on the apple than the hp. Both systems hooked up to the network pretty easy- however the apple had a built in wireless (airport) while the hp needed a seperate card. The apple is also alot lighter and slimmer than the hp and you can tell the design is so much better. the apple is made of titanium and carbon fibre i believe and everything is designed so clean. Another nice thing about the apple over the hp was that all the included software was usefull and good (itunes, imovies, etc) while the hp was loaded with alot annoying junk software (including all the internet junk). The only complaint about apple is that other than the essential softwares and even components - programs are harder to comeby and usually really expensive.

Summary: Great notebook... but....
Review: This is one of the best powerbooks I've ever owned expect for one minor bugger.... at times the chasis can get a little too hot to put on your lap. But with today's faster processors comes with more heat, so I guess it's no big-e. I used a coupon from UnderTag.com, so it was a bargain for me too.

Summary: New Powerbook Ti 667 DVI is Desktop Replacement
Review: This Powerbook is my 7th Apple Laptop. My wife and I currently own three. I needed to replace my Powerbook G3 FireWire (Pismo) but didn't like all the specs on the Ti G4, which was first introduced in January of 2001. This generation added everything I had complained about. 1. Mic in port. 2. Higher Res Screen. 3. More VRAM (32mb from 16mb). and 4. the ability to drive an external monitor from a digital output. This machine is fast and an absolute pleasure to use.

Summary: Computer nerd rates this product.
Review: Who says that alot people don't use macs? Well I currently have a job in digital video editing and the is no other computer in our field. With MacOS 10.2 you can network with PCs, share files, run microsoft office and open PC files. Apple is the defintion of cool(at least I think so). Everthing they do is orginal, take the Newton/MessagePad series. About one and a half years before the first Palm. It was the orginal PDA, who thinks diffrent, only Apple. Not to mention MHZ (megahertz) doesn't matter as much as people think when comparing PCs to macs. The G4 chip on this computer is a 7 stage 677 mhz processer (think of it as 7 steps at 677 miles per hour. Compared to the Pent4 a 20 stage processer, so the pcs need a high mhz to keep up with the macs.

Summary: You're kidding me
Review: Whoa dude. Nice machine two years ago. Nice machine today... for 1/2 the price they want. For two thousand big ones, I expect a lot out of a notebook. This doesn't cut it. The only thing I like is the screen. Piece of art.
