I admit it. I am hooked. I am hooked
on my Apple G4 Laptop. First, you have
to know this. It is my first Apple and
my first laptop. I always thought that
laptops are what you used when you could
not buy a real computer. Now I hang
my head in shame for ever thinking that.
The Apple G4 laptop may be all you
will ever need to buy in a computer.
The G4 runs very fast so that you
can play all the new games that require
a lot of processor speed. Although
for my Apple G4 laptop, I installed
extra memory because I sometimes work
with large documents.
This laptop is slick and compact
with all the features you need. You
can get the Apple G4 has a built in
CD/DVD reader and CD writer. You can
also add on a DVD writer.
The Apple G4 laptop comes with a track
pad that works very well even for
a person like me with fat, clumsy
fingers. But I have to tell you the
truth. I like a mouse, which by the
way, Apple invented. So, I plugged
in a mouse to one of the two USB ports
and now it performs exactly like my
old desktop. The Apple G4 laptop keyboard
has the feel of a desktop with all
the function keys. Except the number
keypad is integrated with the alphabet
keys so you have to press a function
key to get them to work as number
input. This is annoying but it is
the same as all laptops.
One other thing that is truly great
about the Apple G4 laptop is the built-in
speakers and microphone. You do not
need to by a headset with the unit.
I did add plug-in speakers for better
music quality but it is not necessary
and remember this. With the built-in
microphone, you are instantly ready
for web voice chat.
As with all Apples, the G4 laptop
has automatic software updates from
the Internet. Just hook up to the
Net and it automatically calls home
for updates. No checking the website,
no figuring out what you need. The
operating and installed apple software
is updated automatically.
The LCD screen has great resolution
and color quality and tilts to every
position you need if you do decide
to take with you off the desk. Also,
the battery runs for at least three
hours or more for normal no-sound
applications.
The Apple G4 laptop is a neat, clean
package that gives you both the feel
and performance of the biggest desktop
computer. You are sacrificing nothing
but space to own this unit.
