Advantages: Portable, it's an Apple
Disadvantages: Pricey, quite heavy

...Being an Apple it is an exelent peice of kit. I brought mine from Apple back in september 2005 and it is still running fine. The major advantages of this is that it runs on Apple OS X so it is as stable as a rock. Not once has it crashed on me since i brought it. The battey life is exceptionable (around 6 hours). The software included is top notch. Even running on a basic 512MB of RAM it still can run many progams at once. It also comes with bluetooth so it can interface with newer mobile phones easiely. The design is flawless, nothing protruding so there's nothing to break off or get snaged. The slot loading super-drive runs extremely quitely and can burn CDs and DVDs the downsides to the computer is that is is quite heavy and it gets hot quite quickly and being white, dirt and stains from tying show up after a couple of months...

Some items are not available (Format, Copy Disk, Eject) unless a disk is physically in the drive. The drives are compatible with both PC and Apple Mac. They will run with Windows 95 upwards. The office system is a hybrid of Windows XP Pro and Home; my home computer runs with Windows ME. Transfer speeds are quoted as up to 0.7 MB per second. Back up and restore has proved to be simplicity itself. Straight forward file copies are simple drag and drop operations. More formal back up jobs can be scheduled. The drives are orders of magnitude faster than my previous parallel one. The 250 MB... Read review
