Apple PowerBook G4


How could we go past the Apple PowerBook G4? It's almost the perfect notebook.

Well, maybe if it featured a multi-format memory card reader, was a tad lighter and used biometrics we would say just that. It's sexy, it offers great comms support, it's fast, and did we mention it has a 17in screen?

A mention also goes out to both the Fujitsu and Acer machines. They performed well in our tests, and each shipped with a good set of features.
