and the user experience suffers slightly.Other than the screen, I love my G4 and will certainly not be getting rid of it any time soon.

For some reason, Apple decided not to include a quality LCD with the computer. This isn' t a problem with the last-generation of PowerBooks, it' s just a problem with the 12' version. Also gives me a lot of opportunities to test out the security of my 15' MBP.The one thing I really dislike about this computer is its monitor. PIM product data: Apple PowerBook G4 17-inch SuperDrive 43.2 cm (17') 0.5 GB DDR-SDRAM 100 GB AMD Radeon 9700 M9689N/A Notebooks PowerBook G4 - 17' TFT, 1440 x 900, 1.67GHz PowerPC G4, HDD 100GB, RAM 512MB. Has a Firewire-400 port, which gives me a lot of media-related options (think: digital camera tethering). I actually still carry this around with me some times, and I always get the 'I didn' t know Apple made such a cute laptop' comment.For now, my G4 is perfect as a media server and dedicated media ripper/encoder/etc. It' s size is perfect for the road, even better than a tiny netbook.

They replaced my MoBo and battery right before AppleCare ended, so I expect to get a good three or so years more out of the laptop.At 12', my G4 is a powerful machine! It runs Leopard fine, though if you don' t need all the features of Leopard, it runs Tiger much faster. It was this little machine that convinced me I was right to switch to Apple, and it' s this little machine that reminds me how good Apple is about customer service. This was my first Mac, and I bought it after being frustrated with flakiness I experienced from Dell and its lineup.
