Brought this laptop mainly due to the screen size being 17 inch. Great laptop to for design graphics and web design. Lightweight makes it easy to pack in a rucksack and carry around with you. Just over an inch tick, compact and beautifully built. Back in 2005 these machines were very expensive to buy. 8 years on, they still look modern can do most things a modern laptop can do, for a fraction of the price when first purchased. Love the ambient light censors which activate the eliminated keyboard. Great screen size for playing back films on iTunes or DVD's. Performance is good, but lacks the ease of modern application install compared to it's successor the MacBook Pro. If your not bothered about using four year old software for graphics design and such then it's ideal and value for money. One bad point, the battery life is not excellent on this PowerBook even with a brand new replacement. 2 hour with 3 hours if your very lucky. Unlike the iBook which could get up to 4.5 hours on low performance. Overall, if your on a budget and want a stylish, 17 inch, modern looking laptop built to last, then this is an excellent choice of laptop. These are easy to upgrade and you can increase the memory and hard drive with ease. Be picky on your purchase and don't by one which needs a lot of repair. Best advise is to pay a little more and get the best for you money. Don't pay too much otherwise you may just be better off buying a MacBook Pro.Read full review
The Apple Aluminium series PowerBooks are still stunning machines. Fast, extremely portable (if you have a decent battery) and still fast and powerful enough to hold their own on modern applications. The 17" screen is excellent for graphics and 3D, as well as being perfectly proportioned for watching movies. It also gives an unbeatable workspace for spreadsheet road warriors, as well as music and video producers. WiFi and a huge array of built-in ports and interfaces, as well as a PC card expansion slot. With OSX Leopard (10.5.8) and a decent amount of RAM, this remains a head-turning classic, and fantastic value.
