ibooks aren't that great.  Powerbooks on the other hand are awesome. (and extremely expensive)

I hear their nice.
Mac's are generally pretty, and well performing. Most people dont like them because they are different.
Ive used many a mac, quite possibly more than anyone else on these boards, all ranging differently in performance and hardware.

I did use the PB G4 and iBook G4 for decent amounts of time, both at MacWorld and my  friends. Coolest feature in my opinion is the backlit keyboard...


Yeah. http://www.apple.com/
Just look and drool

My teacher got a PowerBook G4. I heard iBooks aren't as good as a PowerBook, but still fast. I can't get expensive, but I want good performance.


The Macs i've used are a Performa (last of the line) iBook G3, Power Mac G3 and G4, and soon to use a G5.

It's a dispute between iBook and PowerBooks for me now.

PowerBooks are a little better, but I agree that if you want something a little cheaper, go for the iBook.

I'm trying an iBook right now. The keyboard has no elevation, so I'd like to get a PodiumPad for it. Otherwise, it's good.
