Apple iBook 12″ Review (pics, specs) — Time to Give Apple a Chance?

 

Being a diehard PC user for over 15 years, I had never considered switching to an Apple Mac or EVER using an Apple product. In fact I avoided using Quicktime as much as possible because I always thought anything made by them was a joke. I mean, my...

Compact, Comfortable, Well Designed

 

I remember when I bought my first brand new Apple. It was the fall of 2001, a few months had passed since I watched MR. Jobs unveil the new iBook. It was a revelation. An iBook that looked like something other than a toy. I was hooked. In less than...

Form Factor, Appearance, and functionality

Occasional logic board issues - addressed by Apple in warranty extension

Warning: Could Give You An Ego

 

I have always thought Macs to be computers with training wheels. And this is a good thing. It's not so much that I know nothing about computers, as it is I prefer not to think about now they work and why they don't.

Easy online purchase, immediate use, great picture

The cursor gets frantic every now and then. AppleWorks is a drag

A good laptop

 

There aren't much that come with the laptop. You have to pay for every single extra thing. The laptop, use guide, the battery charge and some other documentations are really the only things in the box.

Nice appearance; big screen; easy to use

Not as fast as I expected; quite heavy

The new iBook is Undeniable!

 

I had been considering purchasing a laptop computer for some time, when I heard that Apple had updated the iBook lineup. Here is a quick summary of the new features:

size, durability, value, looks, performance, versatility

No right mouse button, DVD playing is not deinterlaced with TV DVDs

If only I would have bought an Apple sooner!

 

I'm 22 and I work as a network administrator for a large business. I've been using computers since I was ten, and all of them have been x86 boxes running some form of the Windows operating system. In fact I've owned every version since 3.1.

Ultra portable, long battery life, bright and vivid screen

Networking with windows takes a bit of tweaking

iBook

 

I bought my iBook for school and it's been really good. It came with a nice software bundle. The battery life is really good, I'm just not a big fan of the plug. the plug tends to fall out quite often and the mouse pad isn't the best. the iBook is very...

portable, easy to use, nice software bundle

obnoxious plug and keyboard. (no nipple mouse!)

my iBook

 

This little machine is the best thing to happen to laptops. It is so compact and yet so powerful. You know what they say 'dynamite comes in small packages.' I am relatively computer unsavvy. But this laptop is so easy to use. Things i never thought i...

Excellent machine, compact but powerful

power cord needs work

I switched back...here's the results

 

I'm like the guy in the tv ad---a film maker, started with apple, switched to windows for 5 years...and two weeks ago, came back to mac. I got the 12.1 inch Ibook G3, and I think I can be helpful here for those in windows world considering the move....

Elegant design, intuitive operation

erratic touchpad, laughable help support
