Pros: Ultra: portable, light, friendly, space-efficient, novice/intermediate laptop, crisp and colorful image, ROCKS!!!
Cons: Maybe a little expensive but well worth it.
The Bottom Line: For basic needs (word processing, burning CDs, watching DVDs, spreadsheets, Internet, games, photo shop, making movies), I got it all in my lap! Just me and my G3!

Pros: Fast processor, great bundled software, small, easy to transport package, very versatile and user-friendly
Cons: Does not have the computer world acceptance the PC does
The Bottom Line: The iBook is a treasure. Don't buy a PC for the sake of fitting in. Instead, look into this little Mac and Think Different.

Pros: Keeps Microsoft's snoops away, beautiful power, CD-RW, DVD, great software
Cons: More power than necessary for beginning computer users
The Bottom Line: The iBook G3 offers the best of the Mac experience: power, ease of use, and respect. Why go with the snoops at Microsoft?

Pros: looks great; excellent features; wakes from sleep instantly; good value
Cons: AC adapter cord doesn't wind up nicely; mouse plugs into left side.
The Bottom Line: Small, stylish, and highly capable, the iBook is a great buy. I'm very pleased with my 500MHz model, and the 600 MHz version is even better. Get one!
