Strengths: Easy transfer. Excellent form factor. Stunning graphic. It's a mac! Upgrading is easy. OSX nothing comes close.
Weakness: Too big to carry it around all the time. Pricey Ram awa ( as well as ) the computer itself.
This is my 2nd PowerBook. Pismo is my first and still humming slow with new HD. This one is so much faster and better graphic which I am going to use for designing.Hope to keep it for 10+ years like my g3. Pricey but over the course of ten years and very good OS X----PriceLESS. This is the last of g4 PB just like the Pismo. I am acquiring it so that I have the best of the best of PowerPC based...
Strengths: Light weight, Quick starting, Fast processor, Backlighted keyboard, Wide screen, and Reliability!
Weakness: Relatively small basic Ram, Portability
This is quite big but a cute machine. This is my second Mac but a first powerbook. My first experience of Mac was PowerMac 6100, the very first Mac using Motorola's powerpc processor.

If you are familiar with, or using, Photoshop and Quirk...
Strengths: Speed, versatility, professional
Weakness: Portability

Everything I have thrown at it, the 17" powerbook has held it ground in speed and memory. I use it for media mostly. I am a student studying music and sound recording so I have quite a few programs that need a lot of memory. I...
If you were already edging toward a wide-screen PowerBook, the new features have certainly sweetened the pot, doubly impressive when one considers that Apple has dropped the price $200. The changes may not be revolutionary, but Apple has improved upon an already terrific portable, once again raising the industry’s bar, if only ever-so-slightly.

The latest improvements to the PowerBook line are hardly revolutionary, but they’re all welcome. If you can afford it and don’t mind its size, the 17-inch model remains the best portable computer money can buy.

Apple 17" PowerBook G4 Notebook, 1.67GHz
Strengths: Stable, quiet, cool, gorgeous screen display, fast, easy to use
Weakness: none found
Have owned this exact computer, 17" PowerBook G4 Notebook at 1.67GHz. Just bought this one for my wife, who was not into computers at all. The screen display is unfatiquing and very high resolution. The apple OS is very easy to learn and is user friendly in many ways. Highly recommended to any computer user.
