All your iBooks are belong to us!

Advantages: Easy to maintain, cheap, good support, well featured, stable, user friendly, good battery life it works!
Disadvantages: Already replaced, quite heavy despite size, not as flexible or as well supported as a PC, not that expandable

...memory the laptop seems to be very weak in comparison to some 3.4Ghz Pentium laptops with DDR400. However, this is meant to be a portable laptop with enough power to be productive whilst on the move, or working anywhere. At this stage, it is important to point out that the Pentium laptops use the x86 instruction set whereas the G4 chip used in the iBook is a PPC risc chip. This means that the G4 chip is inherently more efficient than the PC one having more instructions available to satisfy different demands. Therefore, direct comparisons are impossible using the Mhz scale. In no way am I suggesting that 933Mhz can compete with 3.4, but it is enough to be adequate. General usage tests: AC / Max Battery (s) Starting Word: 4 / 7 Open Office: 14 / 34 Dreamweaver: 18 / 30 Photoshop: 23 / 50 This laptop will hardly ever leave you...

Review of Apple iBook G4

iBook Easy

Advantages: Looks, Slim, Simple to use
Disadvantages: Scratches easily

...As a student studying Graphic Design, Apples were a must. I used an eMac whilst studying and had no problems with that. But, now iv finished studying and joined the big wide world, i needed something portable and light, yet still powerful enough to cope with the demands of 'real' work. The 14.1" Screen is ideal. It is big enough for me and clients to see clearly. If you didnt know, apples are safe from Internet viruses as no one right them for the Mac Operating System, so connecting this laptop up to WiFi (Wireless Internet Connection) with its built in Airport Express Card, will be alot safer that a Windows Laptop. Also, Apples are less complicated than PC's because PC's work on multiples of layers, whereas Apples work on just one layer. The iBook has Plenty of ports for all needs indluding: 2x USB 1x Firewire 1x port...

"Finally Mum a book I'm allowed to take to pieces!"

Advantages: A great book with the added extra of some fantastic jigsaws for your little one.
Disadvantages: You'll be croaking from reading this book over and over and over?

...I have enjoyed reading to my son since he was born and I?m always looking out for fun books that will appeal to him. As soon as he was able to help with turning the pages and joining in with certain words story time has taken a whole new dimension, and is more fun for the both of us. He can sit happily for long periods of time flicking through a book looking at the pictures and pointing to them, he also loves jigsaws and the challenge they give him. His eager little hands do get a bit excited though, so I provide him with chunky board books for him to ?read? alone. I do like good value too, so when I spotted this book I knew I was onto a winner as not only is it a board book but it comes with five jigsaws too, it was only £4.99 from Amazon when I purchased it the retail price is £6.99 and even at that price it is still excellent value...

Review of Freddy the Frog Jigsaw Book - Axel Scheffler

I love taggies!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...Ever since I first saw a Taggie I became a fan of this brand. Since Baby Hope was bought a Taggie comfort blanket I have since bought her the Taggie Dino, The Taggie Take-along-Triangle, the Taggie books and this I Love you taggie book is the latest in our collection. What are taggies? Taggies are a brand name. Taggies are basically toys, comfort blankets, books which contain loops of ribon like a label on a toy. what was the taggie inspiration? If you have a baby or you have looked after one I'm sure you will have noticed that no matter which toy you play with with the baby that if it contains a label then the baby will be more interested in that than the toy itself! Baby Hope has so many teddies yet she spends a lot of time studying the label and playing with it. The developers of Taggies noticed this and so...

Review of My First Taggies Book: I Love You - Kaori Wantanabe

iBook, re0w

Advantages: easy to use, powerful, pretty
Disadvantages: battery time, cost, compatability issues

...i received my iBook for christmas 2001 and it is still the main computer is use. it is the first mac i have owned. the laptop is sturdy, durable and well made. i have had no issues with it in the almost 2 years i have had it. this compares well to the 6 month old IBM laptop my partner has, which has been on for repairs 3 times already :) as i have never had any problems with my lappy, i cant really coment on manufacturer support. i will say, however, that in general, the people who work in mac shops are very helpful with suggestions on how to improve or change things. there is also a large mac community on the net. the instruction manual is in 2 parts, an illustrated troubleshooting guide (good for non nerds like me) and a text manual (which ive never looked at). it also comes with 2 apple stickers :) the speed of my iBook is...

I Found this Lost Book - and it's a Gem!

Advantages: Brilliant and Gripping
Disadvantages: -

...which experiences can be explained and which can't, leading to an exciting conclusion that cleverly ties all the various strands together. Connie is a believable character that I sympathised with which made the book even more enjoyable to read. The prose is descriptive and you can lose youself in the scenes that appear on the page. The historical parts seem very well researched and these characters seem familiar even though we only get to spend a short while with them throughout the book. The author gives a a very personal touch to the latter parts of the book from her own research and family connections. You don't have to have a great knowledge of history or even a special interest in the subject matter, although you might have by the time you've finished! I would recommend this novel for an absorbing holiday read or chapter...

Review of The Lost Book of Salem - Katherine Howe

Apple iBook G4

Advantages: attractive and stylish looks, perfect for travelling
Disadvantages: you gotta take good care of it !

...If you are someone who likes to have qualities like Power,durable, portable, easily affordable and attractive looking, then i think the 14 1.33 GHz iBook laptop would be a very good choice in that case ! This notebook along with its awesome looks, comes in handy anywhere and everywhere. I have been using it since a while now and i have never had any problems with it so far and im pleased! they say that the material used in the plastic which the case is made of, is the same as thy use in making bullet proof glass. amazing isnt it? hehe! I think it suits everyone, let it be businesspeople, people related to video editing, professors or professionals like you and me. Now for the specifications :- Brand: Apple Product Line: iBook Model: G4 Operating System: Mac OS X, Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Input Device Type...

  The Apple Of My i

Advantages: Full Internet, Massive storage, Great design, Superb battery life.
Disadvantages: The Megapixel of the camera is put to shame by other phones available.

...I had been waiting for this day for some time. My 18 month contract with T-Mobile is coming up for renewal next week, however having had problems gaining reception in my area I'd opted to look elsewhere for a new contract. A few weeks back my problems were solved when I was shopping around to try and find the best mobile contract, and discovered that O2 would be stocking the Apple iPhone as of November the 9th. Not only was I looking for a new mobile contract, but also a replacement MP3 player so the Apple iPhone seemed ideal. I made plans to purchase the iPhone and on the evening of release made my way down to the nearest O2 store upon finishing work, bagging myself my very own iPhone at a price of £269. Although the price did seem a little steep, especially considering that I would be paying out a further £35 a month for the contract...

Review of Apple iPhone

iBook... iBought the computer of my dreams

Advantages: A beautiful, reliable, well-built machine.
Disadvantages: Case slightly prone to scratches.

...The new iBook is maybe not so new these days. A friend of mine had one back in 2001, and I enviously eyed its compact white form and "breathing" standby light every time I saw him. Me? I had a PC laptop and a Powerbook 5300, a pretty ugly machine really too far out of date (and too heavy) to be of any use at all. Fast-forward to 2003. I've saved for six months, I've sold half my posessions and I've finally entered the world of the Mac on an almost up-to-date level. WHY I BOUGHT THE MAC I make music with my computer, and most people know now that the standard equipment for music-making is a Mac. This may partly be due to snobbery, word-of-mouth or software availablility, but these things were not really my main concern. Of all the PC laptops I have had, I have never had one that worked as I expected. Because laptops are...

Not a book I live by!

Advantages: useful tips
Disadvantages: too mean

...had a nap no matter how long it takes for them to nod off. It may take a few minutes or- as was the case with me- 40 minutes! Eventually the baby learns to fall asleep after less time and gets used to it so it isn't as stressful! Feeding when it suits the mother is basically just that. Gina Ford insists that babies need structure and so it's important for the mother to do the same structured feeding routine every day so that the baby knows when it's feed time and feels comfortable. I don't really see how a breast fed baby can follow this though as it's impossible to know how much your baby has had so if it's hungry I would feel guilty about waiting until I was ready to feed! This book has a questions and answers section which helps to answer any questions you may have. I personally don't really rate this approach to parenting...
