After a great experience with my first powerbook 3 years ago, I decided to bite the bullet and get myself a new one. The old powerbook was a real workhorse. The best piece of computing machinery I’ve owned. I’m hoping that this new one will live up to that reputation.

Bar none, I think Apple makes the best notebooks in the world. Gorgeous to look at with excellent build quality. That’s what I’ve come to expect from an Apple notebook. I think there is some truth to the G4 processor being less powerful than the X86 processors but it’s fast enough for everything I want to do.

IBM thinkpads are solid machines but in my opinion come in second.
