Good: Operating System, software
Bad: Unreliable screens, Apple aftercare, Expense
Comment: It would be a great machine it it wasn't fundamentally flawed. Unfortunately it is well known that Mac laptop screens tend to develop faults after only one and a half years of use (just outside warranty) and cost half as much as a new laptop to replace. Although this has been a proven issue to affect Powerbooks in the G4 range affecting thousands of users, Apple still refuses to acknowledge it. I was once such user, so all I can say is, avoid buying this product.

Good: Power and design
Bad: Could do with an external hard drive for serious movie editors
Comment: Pure Apple brilliance. Experience this and you will never want to use a Windows-based machine ever again. Perfect for movie editing, best if you have Adobe CS2, all round outstanding

Good: Screen, design, OS and connectivity
Bad: Nothing!
Comment: Comparing this machine to the PC laptops I've owned and used in the past...there is no comparison!
I love the connectivity on this machine, the screen is brilliant and the apps run really smoothly. I've connected it to my wireless PC network within 10 minutes...easily done with Tiger.
All I can say is wow!
