    With the MacBook, Apple has corrected a handful of the iBook's shortcomings, hit a reasonable price point, and delivered a laptop that makes a great compromise between size and portability.

  • Apple MacBook Pro (17-inch, 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo)

    With a solid array of components, a terrific set of features, and the lightest weight of any laptop its size, Apple's 17-inch MacBook Pro is a power user's dream, but it doesn't come cheap.

  • Apple MacBook Pro (1.83GHz)

    The MacBook Pro delivers unparalleled style, a solid set of features and software, and a few transitional performance issues that keep it from rivaling the most powerful PC laptops.

  • Apple PowerBook G4 (17-inch; 1.67GHz)

    The 17-inch PowerBook G4 delivers a competitive set of features, a great software package, good battery life, and style in spades, but you can find plenty of less expensive options out there.

  • Apple PowerBook G4 (12-inch, SuperDrive)

    Though pricier than the 12-inch iBook G4 and some comparable PC laptops, the 12-inch PowerBook G4's performance, solid set of features and software, and killer design will overjoy intermediate and advanced mobile users.

  • HP Compaq Presario B1801TU

    The HP Compaq Presario B1801TU, with its lightweight 1.6kg chassis and pleasing battery life would be a great companion for the road warrior, if not for its dismal performance when compared to competing offerings.

  • Apple iBook G4 (1.33GHz, 512MB, 12.1-inch TFT)

    Now with 512MB of RAM, Apple's baseline 12.1-inch iBook G4 offers competitive specs, along with all the ports and connections basic users need and a terrific software package.
