The Apple iBook G3 laptop is a perfect machine to work on! It has smooth edges, and has no protruding bits to snag/catch/break (apart from the CD tray, but this comes out about a centimetre from the actual laptop itself so you can pull it out yourself).
The software is excellent, except if you are a PC user like me, you might want to buy Microsoft Office for Mac which has MSN, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage. I got this for £12 including P+P on eBay!! The one button near the touchpad is good (and for the left button click, equivalent to the PC, you can use Ctrl and button).
The lit up Apple logo on the lid is a nice touch, and the screen LCD display is crystal clear and a very bright colour! And because I am a student, Apple discounts everything I buy from the store!
It never crashes, but one bad point is that (I am sure this is only on my laptop though) it never lets the battery percentage get past 80% which is 20 minutes?? I just leave the power supply from the mains on all the time that I am at home though, so it's not a problem, although I am getting it fixed.
Overall, I would give this machine 9.5 stars, and yes, I have been changed from liking Windows to Macintosh because it is so easy!
