Review of Apple iBook PPC G3 500 MHz - 12.1" TFT by Xile2005

Advantages: Lightweight, Durable.
Disadvantages: Lack of software and connectivity.

...i know) is the white apple that glows on the back of the screen just to let everyone know that you are using a Mac. I decided to purchase this iBook simply because of the operating system and battery life. I have always been a fan of Macs but after using this laptop it seems to have put me off a little. Overall i believe this laptop is great value for money and would be fine for anybody only wishing to do word processing or for people that require ... Read review

Review of Apple iBook PPC G3 500 MHz - 12.1" TFT by Veventhar

Advantages: tough, easy to use, you'll fall in love with it.
Disadvantages: a bit slow by todays standards, small ish harddrive

Warm, inviting and comforting. Thats the initial vibe you\'ll get as you turn this thing on. Even though the specs are not up to modern computing, wont notice too much difference while doing the usual tasks like surfing the internet and checking mail, organising photos etc. The tough white shell protects it from almost anything that you can throw at it (its the same stuff that they make bullet proof glass out of!) Mac makes everything so much easier, ... Read review

Manufacturer's product description

When Apple set out to create the iBook, one of key design goals was to create a lightweight notebook computer tough enough to stand up to the occasional bumps and other unexpected mishaps of life on the go. From the standpoint of a laptop, the inside of a backpack can be a fairly inhospitable place. And yet you shouldn't have to walk softly just because you're carrying the most appealing notebook ever. So Apple made the iBook's sleek case out of impact-resistant polycarbonate plastic. That would ordinarily be sufficient to survive the rigorous of everyday use and abuse, but Apple didn't stop there. Inside, a sturdy magnesium frame provides superior strength, while reducing the iBook's weight to well below that of other full-featured PC notebooks. Apple even rubber-mounted the hard disk drive for added bump tolerance, so you can store all of your digital goodies on your iBook and still enjoy peace of mind. Additionally, the iBook has no I/O doors, protruding latches or levers to break or snap off when tucking it into a backpack or briefcase.
