"Best Notebook on the Market period"
Pros: Elegent desgin, very fast and powerful, excelent screen resolution, large display, 100 gig HD
Cons: Extreemly expensive, only comes with 512 of memory for a $2700 laptop, in my opinion memory is so ceap they should give you at least a gig, slow CD-R burner only 24x
Summary: I've had many laptops in my experience all of which have been PC/Windows based laptops and I am a hard and fast Wintel guy. I'm actually an IT Consultant. But this laptop is by far the best I've ever used. Extreemly stable very easy to use and extreemly functional. Comes with iLife 05 which is an excelent suite of software unlike the crap that other guys give. I actually want to use the iLife 05 software, versus the jumbled mess of software that the other guys give you that has no intergration. This PowerBook has seemless intergration of all the software and hardware, truly exceptional vs. the competition. The wireless protocalls both Bluetooh and Airport Express both work flawlessly and extreemly fast. I was able to hook up to my Windows network enviornment very easily and pull down files from my Windows PC's with no problems at all. One of the best laptops on the market. The SuperDrive is excellent despite the slow CD-R buring speed (only 24x), took me approx 8 min to burn a 17 track audio CD in iTunes. I also craated a few custom movies in iMovie and created the menues and burned them in iDvd and it worked perfectly and the redering time wasn't bad at all either, as I was expecting it to take it much longer.
If you're in the market for a new laptop and are willing to spend a little, look no further than the 17in G4 PowerBook.
