My CTX AMD K6-300/128 MB RAM/3 GB drive laptop is obviously at the end of its life. I was in the "shopping" process for a laptop for 2 months now, and I considered a number of PC laptops, including the Compaq Presario 1525US. At the end, I decided to get the new 12" Powerbook, came in last week, and I am since then using it as my primary machine. Here is what I think about it.

Well, Thanks for the review Eugenia. I was looking at the ibook the other day, as it really is a nice inexpensive way to get a newer laptop and OSX to boot. However, most of my in-store fooling around was getting the display to look OK. I was wondering if I was missing some settings (like contrast for example), but maybe not. Slow performance I can live with on a laptop (heck if my 486 had USB I could still use it), but a bad screen I cannot. Too bad, guess I'll see what the next ibook revision brings.
