Tech you loved in 2004

Here are some of the products our readers were passionate about in 2004, and the reasons they thought they were great.

Why do Apple customers care so much?

There is no question that Macintosh users are by far the most passionate advocates for their products in the technology industry. And while such passion is remarkable and even moving, it can also be terribly disturbing.

Reviews

  • Apple Macbook (1.83GHz, 13-inch)

    Starting at AU$1,749, Apple has released its Intel-based MacBook, which replaces its iBook series of budget laptops.

  • Apple GarageBand 3

    Mac users with even a minor interest in music or podcasting will be pleased with GarageBand 3's user-friendly interface and ample feature set, but the heavy app isn't ideal for most 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.

  • 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 iPod Nano (2GB)

    Thanks to its limited capacity, the gorgeous Apple iPod Nano isn't for everybody, but it sets the standard for MP3 players to come.

  • Apple GarageBand 2.0

    This intuitive audio production program alone is worth more than the cost of the entire iLife '05 suite.
