Advantages: Graphics, Sound, Storage, Display COOL VALUE
Disadvantages: Battery life, cost

...WOW, I have just been given one of these babies to play with - through work. THEY ARE AMAZING I'm not going to spend time introducing you to MAC OS (Apple's Windows) - but if you are a PC user it's like this: Its quite similar to windows but more user friendly & powerful! (Get the picture) If you have money to burn then this is the ultimate choice. Its just great for online/offline gaming, it is capable of doing amazing things with sound and graphics. Movie editing, music mixing - this can do it all. Its a weapon of mass perfection! Your better off with an i-book if its just wordporcessing and surfing you are after.

...The powerbook line has been around for almost a decade now and each new installment has brought around something better than the last. This new G4 is no different. With a faster processor, more memory, and better graphics, the Powerbook G4 is the new fad in college age kids as well as executives. Lets take a look at the Powerbook G4 under the hood. The Powerbook G4 (PBG4) has great specifications, including: -1.25 ghz G4 processor. This is a top of the line Apple processor, comparable to a 3 ghz P4 or higher. This gives the computer enough speed to do anything from checking your email to making a short film on your computer with no hassles or waiting around. Everything is done in the blink of an eye. -512 mb DDR SDRAM. This RAM directly assists your processor in opening and storing data. This RAM is considered to be one... Read review

Advantages: OSX is slick, Gorgeous looks, Great Bundled Apps!
Disadvantages: Extremely Expensive, Gets Very Hot!

...'s a different story. My model features a G4 processor running at 1.67Ghz. Compare that with other laptops on the market at November 2005. You could pick up a Pentium M at 1.6Ghz or an AMD Turion at 1.6Ghz. These were brand new processors and I had my faith that the G4 was also updated and revised. Why else would it be so vastly expensive? However, I now know the G4 has about the equivalent power of an AMD Athlon XP processor, which was hot in the market in 2001-2002. I purchased one to build a PC with which ran at 1.666Ghz. Bare in mind, that, 3 years later I wanted something with a little more grunt than something I'd purchased all that time ago and was now selling new on eBay for under £20. Nevertheless I couldn't think it viable that it would cost so much if it wasn't faster than the competition. I had a customised model built with 2GB RAM... Read review

Advantages: User Friendly, less virus attacks!
Disadvantages: Expensive, no floppy

...I bought a G4 400MHZ (PCI Graphics) with 128MB RAM and a 10GB HD with CD-ROM and an Apple 17" CRT Monitor (the one on tripod feet) over a year ago off E-bay. I love it so much I called him Albert! I spent 10 years working on computers, starting on a Wang(!), and then progressing to pc 486's, etc. I finally saw the light when I went into Publishing, and used my first Apple Mac, a 6100/66. I've never turned back. Not only are the G4s stylish to look at, they're practical too! I have never opened up a computer before, but I wanted to add an extra 256 of RAM - the process went so smoothly I almost didn't realise it was done! You just pop open the side of the G4 slot in the memory and voila, it's done. No screws, no nothing! I also set up my first 'network', hooking up the new G4 to my old 6100 was a doddle using a transceiver and 1... Read review

Advantages: VERY FAST!
Disadvantages: No floppy drive, DVD playback issues

...I have recently purchased a new Apple Macintosh G4/400, using the new Sawtooth motherboard configuration. I previously owned an old PowerMac and am VERY impressed with the new machine. It comes complete with a pretty high specification for the money (10gb/64mb/400mhz). Many PC userd will be wondering how a 400mhz processor can be anywhere near as fast as a Pentium with 900mhz+ of processing power?? Well, the Macintosh uses a completely different system, a PowerPC processor and tests can prove that these are much faster. It is fairly safe to say that Macintosh produce the fastest 'home user' computers available today. One gripe I do have is the exclusion of a floppy disk drive. I know that these will soon not be in use and they are low capacity e.t.c BUT PEOPLE STILL USE THEM! I often need to transfer work between computers and am now... Read review

Advantages: Style, Compactness, Quiet and a very fast system.
Disadvantages: Origionals have a low end video card

...I have lived with this computer now for about 5 months. It has a G4 450 Mhz processor with 192 MB of memory (Not Standard), DVD, USb & Firewire. The cost of the computer was a bit on the steep side at around £1200, but I figured that it was worth it and I wasn't wrong. The design of the computer is revolutionary, being almost an 8" cube. There is no fan fitted to the inside of the machine and cooling is achieved by a central cooling tower and working on the principle of hot air rising drawing cooler air into the central cooling tower. All of the compnoents are packed around this area for optimum cooling. The power is supplied by an external and quite large power adaptor, but makes sense to keep this out of the computer, saving on weight, size and heat build up. The disk drive 20GB is whisper quiet and the system as a whole makes... Read review

Advantages: Giant Size 60GB, Fast transfer of all media,light weight, all media in one place
Disadvantages: A little large, have to use itunes,metalic back gets scratched

...I bought this ipod just over 6 months ago and my experience so far has been a good one, before oi got this ipod i had the Ipod Photo 60gb and this ipod is a great improvement in both hardware and software build Build: (Great) The build of this ipod is very good it is strong and durable, The screen is very strong and there is no issues with having this in ur back pocket when sitting down. One downside to this ipod is the metalic side (back) it looks great when you first purchase the product, but after time the metal becomes scratched and blemished, this make the ipod look a little batterd. whereas the from stays clean and unscratched (well mine has). But all-in-all the product has a good design and a strong build. Memory: (Great) 60gb is a lot of memory for music and can also hold a lot of movies/pics, but although i have over 400... Read review
