a Mac addict, Every day computer user
I've owned my 12 in G4 Powerbook since it was bought new as a gift. I love the lightness of it (compared to my WallStreet, tho I loved that one too, compared to the Radio Shack one I had before it). I loved the titanium look. — — Macs ARE intuitive, even for and unintuitive person like me. I was switched from PC's to Macs in 1989 and have rarely gone back, even when Windoze came out (or as we "Mac Addicts used to like to call it "Mac 89"). — — Like my WallStreet before it, I bought the AppleCare package (which adds two more years to your warranty, thus giving you a…

looking for durability, cost-conscious, Happy with this product, pc-user, loving this product, love to travel, home office worker, willing to pay for quality
I got this computer as a gift from my mother after recently moving back home along with an older Windows laptop and I have to say I have really grown to love this Mac. —
It took me a while to adjust to clicking on the other sides of windows to close or enlarge them as well as where to find the software that inititially came installed on the Mac but besides the initial adjustment time using this computer has been a wonderful experience. —
Despite my friend visiting me and then using my computer to visit various illicit web sites my computer remained virus free and by erasing…

Happy laptopper
this is the first mac computer i've ever used and i was tentative about switching over from using PCs. it was the best decision! i was able to switch over from my PC frame of mind very quickly.. within a day or two. the interface just makes sense. it's travelled well and has survived two falls. my only problem with this is the battery life (istatpro tells you the health of the battery and mine is below 80%). also, i feel like the laptop gets overheated quickly, but that seems to be the case with most laptops. no complaints! —…

Happy with this product, a college student, mac-user, very demanding of my computers, Happy laptopper, constantly online, appreciative of good service, computer addict
I absolutely love my computer, it is the best investment ever! It has lasted almost 4 years with no major damages or viruses. And the mac support is wonderful. Recently, two keys popped off and I took it to a mac genuis at our nearby apple store. They fixed the two keys for free and were so helpful incase it happened again. I also like that my laptop is small enough to fit in my backpack and it has motion control incase it gets dropped. If you can't afford a brand new mac, a g4 powerbook, will do just fine.…

loving this product, home office worker, impressed with this product, looking for durability, Every day computer user, computer addict, constantly online, Happy laptopper
This computer does everything I need of it and does it well. I've traveled with it and I've used it HARD and still it is working well. Excellent ease of use. Very intuitive to use so you don't need to spend hours reading a manual. Easy to install new software. —
As a MAC it is less susceptible to viruses so that's a real comfort to someone who doesn't have an IT department to fix problems. —
Runs all the programs anyone is likely to ever need. —…

a Mac addict
I didn't even realize that they were still making PowerBooks, but it makes me happy because I love mine so much. These computers are affordable and, above all, durable. I'm not a gamer, so I don't know how the processing power would hold up if you were doing something really intense, but for normal, all-purpose computer, this is way to go.…
