Pros: runs MacOS X 10.2 Jaguar, fast, powerful, user-friendly, fun to use, aesthetically gifted

Pros: Fast, stylish and attractive, gorgeous screen, powerful enough to function as a desktop replacement.
Cons: Expensive, scratches easily, on the large side for true "laptop" use.
The Bottom Line: A trendy, attractive, functional, high-speed laptop with a full complement of software. For a light-yet-portable desktop replacement, or a high-powered portable video/audio system, look no further than Apple's 17"Powerbook!
This reviewer recommends this product.
