Apple PowerBook Laptop 15" M9422LL/A Review from webmeister skicam07. Quite simply, the best in the world., Don’t be afraid of taking the step and getting an Apple notebook. The other ones aren’t worth it. I’ve had a Dell and a Toshiba, and both have failed me. I don’t even want to mention my grandma’s HP. Powerbook is quite simply the best. Its design blows the mind, with no little doors or anything that could get caught on something. The Apple Experience starts when you open the box. Its incredible. Apple is the BMW of computers. Its beatiful. When you finish calibrating the battery the way they say, you’re ready to have fun. The apple logo lights up in back. You don’t notice it, you’re having so much fun. A plenthora of the latest ports (Apple didn’t bother with the old ports nobody will use), you can hook up your USB 2 and Firewire devices. Inside Apple has given you the best software. Dell will load your laptop up with cheesy shareware software, where you have to buy it after 15 days. Apple gives you the finest–included. iLife 04 with iTunes (manage music), iPhoto (manage photos), iMovie (edit movies), iDVD (make DVDs), and GarageBand (MAKE/edit music) blows away any software from the Windows world. OmniGraffle is a really cool drawing program, and GraphicConverter is a great graphics program. Mail, iCal, Address Book, Safari, and the other built-in apple programs are very nice. Safari is better than Internet Explorer for browsing, and Mail is far nicer than Outlook Express.

Worried about not having enough software for Mac? Forget it. There’s piles of high quality stuff for Mac. There is literally nothing you can do on a PC that you can’t do on a Mac, often far better. Even with games, where the Mac is slightly lacking, you can get Command and Conquer, Warcraft 3, Myst, Age of Empires, and many more popular titles.

Mac OSX was rated the best operating system according to PC World magazine, and its not hard to see why. I was smitten. You will be smitten too.

Mac simply don’t get viruses, spyware, and randomly crash right when you’re writing the most important report of your career. This is probably one of the biggest pluses. No more blue screen of death.

The built in wireless was a great plus. When I plugged in the mac, it found our wireless network instantly. Did you know, we had not been able to figure out how to do file sharing with our PCs. We plug in the mac, and it found our other PCs right then and there. I was file sharing in minutes!

The backlit keyboard is sooo cool. Its automatic, and it is just stunning.

Watching DVDs is great. The battery actually lasts long enough to finish the movie, and the controls aren’t fussy and impossibly tricky. There’s no CD tray. Its a slot-loading drive (see picture in product description)

Overall, you can really tell someone was thinking when they made this computer. What a winner!

I don’t want to sound like a salesperson, so there are some cons:

-Won’t run your windows software. You will have to look around for some replacements. Most of the commonly used stuff is built right in, so you can read (and create) PDFs, manage your digital stuff, get mail, surf the web, read Word documents, and much much more. You may have to find some more specialized programs for Excel and Powerpoint files, Graphics editing, etc…

-ummm…..

-The mouse has just one button

-umm…..

-Mac OSX takes a little getting used to, but then you’ll figure it out after a day or two

You will be sorry if you choose to buy a Wintel (Dell, Compaq, HP, Gateway, Sony, etc…)notebook. When you spend the first 10 hours after you buy your computer on tech support, you will remember this review. You have been warned.
