I have been using my Mac G4 17" Powerbook for 5 years. I bought it from the Apple store for just under 2000 US dollars. With my Powerbook came microsoft office package, a free printer, and laptop case. I believe this price was very fair and I still use this computer and have not needed to replace it in the 6 years that I have owned it. And it has never crashed on me!
The thing I like the most about my Powerbook is the mobility of such a powerful computer. This is a laptop computer so it is easy to carry around to the cafe, class, home, or office, but this computer also boasts a fast processor and a large memory. The thing i dislike about the computer is the battery which I have had to replace, but still does not hold a large charge. With such a powerful computer, it takes a lot to run the various drives so it uses up the battery in just over an hour.
I was thinking about getting and iBook before I purchased the Powerbook but I am very happy with the powerbook and glad I purchased it. The iBook just doesn't have enough RAM and memory like the Powerbook does.
This computer suites all of my laptop needs, it has 2 USB and 2 firewire ports. Line in and Microphone 1/8" jacks. Ethernet input, and video out. Just about anything you need, these line of Powerbook can do it.
The purchase of any Mac comes with the great software like iTunes, iMovie, Garageband, and others which simplify making various types of media with a computer. The Mac G4 Powerbook is a reliable laptop computer. This is a great computer and I still don't see myself updating it for years to come.
