...WARNING!
This is an old model of iBook but I want to give a clear warning to anybody intending to buy these second hand or refurbished. There is a problem with many G3iBooks that is well known by many users.
My G3iBook was a joy to behold - great operating system, fast, reliable, beautiful. Then after about a year the screen started to blink, go off suddenly and just dissapear completely. After calling Apple several times they told me to send the iBook in to be looked at. They found a faulty logic board, replaced it and wiped my iBooks memory in the process.
Okay, I lost all my files but my baby was back.

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!...

Reading a Book is not usually my favorite pass time, but when I was brought the Steve Wozniaks biography 'I Woz' I could not put it down.
On first impressions I thought the book would be all about how he invented the 'APPLE-1' noteably the first ever more
