- Worth More Today than Yesterday
As I'm writing this in September of 2008, this iBook with a fourteen inch screen is selling for $1799. I'm not sure, but I think that's something like six hundred bucks more than I paid for mine when I got it from Apple when it came out three or four years ago. Since then I've bought a MacBook, but I still have some Classic programs I like to use on occasion, especially the Classic version of Nisus and you can't run any of those programs on the new Intel Macs or any of the older Macs running Leopard. ...

- barely usable
After a lifelong predilection for Toshiba Sattelite notebook, I decided to make the switch.

I figured for $1000, I would get enough for internet, word processing and DVD playing and do the rest on my desktop PC.

Was I ever wrong.

The internet is OK. Fonts are displayed very poorly with quite a bit of washout.

Word processing is very, very slow - frequently the displayed words lag behind my typing - very annoying.

DVD playing is good ... Read More

- very satisfied
I've been looking to buy an ibook for a while now. It far exceeds my Dell notebook capabilities in sounds and graphics. Garageband was one of the main reasons for switching to a Mac platform. It has given me a new world of possibilities for composing and recording adventures. The product was carefully sent in a safe and timely fashion. Thanks!

- My favorite notebook.
I've owned many Macs, starting with an 040 Performa, and purchased even more when I taught high school journalism classes. Through the use and abuse of students and my own children, I have learned just how durable Mac hardware and software is, in comparison with products in the PC world. During many years of teaching, I had one visit from the IT dude, while my PC using colleagues vied for his services.

The G4 iBook replaced a Ti Powerbook with one of the notorious broken hinges, and I was ... Read More

- Converted and Pleased
The Apple iBook G4 is possibly the best all-around laptop yet made. This would explain its extremely long lifespan as the entry-level portable Mac. The 1.42 GHz model with Superdrive was my first Mac and laptop, and is the machine on which this review is being written. Needless to say, I have enjoyed owning it, and will be upset to part with it in favour of a MacBook when the time comes.
