700MHz iBook,12.1-inch model

The all-white, second-generation iBook keeps improving on the inside while remaining unchanged on the outside. A 100MHz bus and 700MHz processor make the latest iBook the fastest yet. But the main appeal remains its size and price.

With a bright screen, decent speed, small size, and light weight, the 12.1-inch 800MHz iBook remains one of the best values in the Mac product line, although we wish the iBook would finally get the G4 processor.

It costs $300 more, weighs a pound more, has twice the RAM, and offers the same resolution as the 12.1-inch model, so the 14.1-inch 800MHz iBook will appeal only to people looking for a “large-print edition” of the iBook.

The new dual-processor Power Macs are a good value, especially for those upgrading from Sawtooth G4s. For a little more money than corresponding previous models cost, you get two G4 processors, more expansion, and better graphics support.

The eMac is a fast, low-cost computer in a rugged enclosure. The hardware isn’t easily upgradable, but a beautiful flat CRT and surprising speed make it a remarkable value.

The new pivoting two-piece flat-panel iMac is a triumph in terms of design, computing power, and value. Its G4 processor is fast, and it features a built-in SuperDrive. But it is not as fast as a Power Mac G4 with the same processor speed.

PowerBook G4 12-inch/867MHz
Apple Computer

Reviewed in April 2003
http://www.macworld.com/2003/04/reviews/12inchpowerbook
The 12-inch PowerBook G4, at $1,799, effectively straddles the PowerBook and iBook lines. Users who care more about performance than size will likely prefer the 15-inch Titanium or the 17-inch PowerBook. On the other hand, this model will answer the prayers of mobile professionals who need a small, light laptop.

The new Titanium PowerBook G4 may look the same on the outside, but inside is a dramatically different—and much faster—machine. But its AirPort reception is still not as strong as that of other Apple portables.

The Xserve packs intense G4 processing power in a small form factor, so if your setup demands server-side processing, the Xserve is for you. As a storage server, it delivers mixed results.
