Advantages: Tiny, fast, wireless networking and sexy design Disadvantages: None
...I have had my iBook for over 6 months now, and I have never regretted the purchase. I do all my work, internet surfing and play on the thing.
Apple have just recently come up with a new ibook, which sports all of these amazing features:
500 Mhz g3 Processor - Roughly equal to a 750 PIII
Tiny, ice-white rugged design
12.1" XGA screen
CD/CDR/DVD or CDR and DVD combo drives available
option wireless networking
Mirroring to Monitor or TV
Firewire port - edit your digital videos
Built in Networking
And All this for only 1200 pounds!
I know that the screen is not that large, but believe me, it is the best quality, and helps to make the'book TINY.
Unless you want the ultimate in speed (Then you should get the Powerbook G4) - whoever you are and whatever you do, this is the laptop for you....

Advantages: Light, strong and hardly ever crashes Disadvantages: Fairly high price to pay
...The latest iBook from Apple opens a new chapter on portable convenience and performance. I bought this new iBook as I needed something reliable, small and light which I could travel with and use on the go. The iBook is perfect, almost 2lbs lighter than the previous version it contains a powerful G3 processer, allowing more programs to run at the same time. New features enable you to burn your own CDs, watch DVDs on the go and it only takes 10 minutes to get the Internet up and running. Encased in a durable polycarbonate construction, Apple have even included an inner Magnesium case so the iBook can withstand the everyday pressures or normal life.
Although the iBook will set you back a fairly high price, its worth every penny as its your long term, compact travelling companion in a world of boundless possibilities.
Way to go Apple....

Advantages: Has all functions you need Disadvantages: Expensive
...The Apple Mac ibook is my first ever portable laptop but miniture! The range of these is extensive with a range of different colours and extras that you can add onto. Although you can find note books for cheaper it is worth paying for the quality name and product from Apple. The sound is excellent- which has helped from a new contract with a German speaker manufacturer which is much better than the old speakers.
I tested many note books when looking and this was the most superior!
The machine has all the functions you would expect like word writing programs etc. It looks very fashionable and no one will know when you turn it on as it is very quiet.
Have a look at one today!...
