Great battery life, build quality, performance, features and resell value.
Can get a little warm.
This Apple 12-inch PowerBook 1GHz is the best laptop money can buy - across any platform. Its so light it feels like a palmtop sometimes. Its powerful enough to replace my desktop for almost everything. It has built-in Bluetooth and Airport Extreme (802.11g). It burns DVDs. It runs an OS that is the combination of the stability and feature of Unix, and the ease of use of traditional Mac systems. All major apps on Windows have Mac versions, and if there's one that doesn't you can just run it through Virtual PC. A modern Apple computer takes the headache out of owning a computer but keeps you right up to date with technology. Its size it perfect. Its feature set is perfect. I can't fault it. It even retains its value if you come to sell it later - you're pretty much guaranteed a higher price for an Apple laptop than for the stock Wintel laptop. Take a look in eBay to prove it. This is a safe purchase. This laptop is perfection personified. I had an original 12-inch PowerBook and decided I wanted something just a bit more powerful, but just ended up coming back to a newer version of this. Treat yourself today.
