Updated: My 17-inch PowerBook Experience, and Using the 17-inch PowerBook G4 for Video Editing

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: This laptop is ideal for power users who do anything design-related, and for students or programmers who used to work in UNIX, but would prefer a more user-friendly interface.

Amazing desktop replacement

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2003

THE sexiest laptop available!

Date of Review:  Jan 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you want large resolution in the sexiest package that will allow you to do anything from video to chat... this is THE machine.
Review: Many know Apple as a company that makes computers that "creative types" use. Very true. It has been that way due to specific programs originally being only available for the Mac. Time have changed. With OSX (Operating System version 10) things are...
