[iBook] G4 iBooks and G3 PowerBooks

[Jeremy Morgan]

It took me sometime to be able to let go of my clamshell ibook
(actually I ordered a 1ghz g4 ibook yesterday).  Even though it was
bulky and had a low res screen, it was very comfortable, the most
comfortable notebook I have ever used.  The g3 powerbooks were also
very good, at the time I got a very good deal on the clamshell, other
wise I was looking at getting the powerbook.

One thing I don't like about the new ibooks and powerbooks, other than
the squared corners and terrible button, is the fact light comes
through the apple logo on the back of the lcd.  I noticed this with my
mother's ibook g4 and my boss's 12" powerbook.  You notice it more on
sunny days when the screen is off because you see the apple logo
crisply on the screen.
