Laptops > Apple Mac OS 9 Laptops

Advantages: as always processor
Disadvantages: small screen for graphics

The ibook is a great product but for someone into graphics I believe I want just a bit more] as far as screen size. I have the 12.1" screen size model. As always the ibook processor is untouched by any pc and the graphics card is great for a laptop. I run all the adobe programs and some of the microsoft office programs and macromedia programs, I have had no complaints. As for the details here you go. Built in firewire, ethernet, modem, USB VGA port ...

Advantages: Still up-to-date despite being older, attractive, easy to use
Disadvantages: Bulkier than more modern PowerBooks, still command a fairly high price

...some time. I find Apple easier, more design concious and more user friendly. However, the prices were putting me off (not to mention the fact that those beautiful streamlined new ones are so tempting!) Then I started to look further into it. In fact, further into the past. And I started to think, 'what Apple were producing 3 years ago is still pretty good today'. When I looked at the prices these models were going for I was shocked! Yes, they are ...
...was no way I could get a new PC-style laptop with the same spec. for twice the money. So I started looking around. And what I found was the Lombard. A G3 PowerBook, the one with the 'bronze' (read brown) keyboard. It has all I really need. A CD ROM, an internal modem, 2 USB ports and many more things that I'm still discovering. I find it fast and economical with the power (even with an older battery it lasts for 3 1/2 hours off road) and far better ... Read review

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

Disadvantages: Not a G4 (or G5!), smallish screen, not a huge HD.

It is stable, easy to use, flexible, secure, difficult to hack, and - best of all, VIRTUALLY IMPERVIOUS TO VIRUSES. Yup, you didn't read that wrong. Viruses hardly affect Macs at all. Windows and OSX are VERY different under the bonnet and the virus writers write viruses for Windows for 2 reasons: 1. There are A LOT of Windows ...
...to get into through security holes. For some reason MS leave many more holes in their software. Beware though, Macs can still transmit those email viruses, they just cant get infected. If you recieve a virus email on your Mac - you are perectly safe, but any Windows users you forwrd it to are NOT. The computer itself is light, only 2.2kg, and small - 11 x 9 inches (there is an older brother with 14.1" screen, 2.7kg, 32 x 26 inches, if you would ... Read review
