 This Apple is Phady!, Apr 26, 2023
This apple is the best in the whole wide world! It never crashes!
Seriously! My friend was at a convention , and they were going to pay ANYONE 10,000 to hac in a mac. NOBODY could do it!
Plus, the ibook is so well designed!
When I take it out of its bag, you won't even begin to believe the stairs that I get!
I love that Apple pays attention to detail. When you close the ibook, it automatically goes to sleep, and it dosent hurt anything. You can leave it asleep for weeks if you wanted to! I wish I could use it at school. But I can't.
I am actually typing this right now on my ibook.
It's got great features.
I purchases this apple, because I was tired of my PC failing all the time.
I was tired of it.
Who cares what your friends think. Buy yourself a mac!!!!!!
(I got mine on Ebay, brand new, for $860)

Great form factor but lacking in some key areas, Apr 26, 2023
The iBook is simply cool. Period. It's a great little package and even the power supply is a pleasant alternative to "the brick" of PC laptops. It was easy to set up, recognized a wireless network without any problems and was up and running. Apple finally caught up and added scroll to the touchpad of the Power Book but apparently does not plan to add it to the iBook. There is only one mouse button leaving this PC user always wanting to right click for context-specific menus.
Wireless range was surprisingly poor compared to two HP laptops and data transfer speed decreased dramatically as the signal grew weaker. The cool, click and lift keyboard provides access to check the wireless antenna but that does not help the range and speed problems.
Base memory is adequate but run an MS Office app and it grinds the drive like a Bunn coffee grinder. Bump up the memory to at least 512MB.
Printing is still the Achilles heel of Apple. The company has always sought to do cool graphics but printed output is still an afterthought. Printing on a Win network creates problems. It can see printers andinstall them but it cannot access them unless they have an IP address. Shared printers accessable on a Win network will not work with an Apple. If that is not a concern, this is the machine for you. If you must interface with hardware on a Win network you might want to reconsider.
Apple is still very parochial and tech support backs up when they hear that there is any hardware other than Apple being used. Blaming printers, routers, etc., is not very helpful.
Despite these drawbacks the iBook is still cool and a great starter computer. The price with added memory brings this entry level comptuer up to the price point of a near top end PC. Battery life is as advertised at nearly six hours of realtime use with wireless networking in use and the computer barely gets warm. No PC can match that without a bag of aux batteries. The iBook is worth its premium price just for the "cool factor" and it will be up and running quickly.

A compilation of all reviews, Apr 25, 2023
After reading all of the reviews I have come to the following conclusions.
1: Apple's operating system is light years ahead of Windows
XP or Linux.
2: You will need to purchase the extra 256 megs of RAM and the
60 gig HD.
3: Unless you want to really screw up your computer, forget
trying to outsmart the engineers at Apple and buy Apple
products or approved Apple products.
4: You will never have a virus. It's impossible to get one!
The nature of the operating system makes receiving a virus
impossible.
5: The system will almost never crash and is easier and more
pleasant to use than any other.
6: Everything works seamlessly.
7: For this convenience and superiority you will pay more up
front for everything and less on the back end. Quality costs.
8: Ben Franklin said that he always bought the best and most
expensive item. It is always cheaper in the long run.

Mactastic, Apr 22, 2023
Simply, I could not ask for a better computer. I have the 12" and am completley satisfied with the smaller diplay.
