I bought a 12" G4 about 8 months ago, my first ever Apple computer besides
the Newton. I'd sworn off Apple when they killed the Newton - I'd bought
a MP120 and then a 2000 when they came out, and was so angry when they
discontinued the product that I vowed I'd never buy an Apple product
again.
I come from a Unix/Linux/Windows background and I wasn't sure what
to expect from their notebooks, which is why I went for the cheapest
powerbook I could buy.
Well, I've got to say - I'm a convert! I recently upgraded to the latest
17" G4, which has a great screen, but is pretty bulky to carry around.
It integrates well with the Newton. I use a wireless card in my Newton
and sync using Escale and NewtSync on the p/b.
If I had to choose again, I'd probably buy the 15" G4 instead. It's not
as bulky as the 17" and still has a great screen. If you want a more
portable computer, then get the 12".
My 0.02 AUD = 0.0143 USD at current market rates...
