4 out of 5 stars Very Fragile.......2006-12-16

Wonderfull machine. This machine is a looker. Wherever you go with this baby you will be noticed. The screen is the best. Performance wise was not so astonishing even at 2 gb ram. The superdrive is good, but still i have a few coasters from this baby lying around. The screen is very fragile and expensive to fix. Wouldn't recomend it for a road warrior. Still an amazing machine if you like the way it looks and don't plan on moving it much.

5 out of 5 stars After this, everything else looks so miniscule..........2006-04-28

I could never really afford a new 17" BowerBook, nor a new MacBook Pro 17" that is coming out. But when the Apple Store manager told me I could get a new 17" PB for $1,500, I had the credit card out in 1 second.

And man do I love this machine!

it's big, it is true, but it has the same resolution as an Apple 20" Cinema Display. You can get alot of work done on this screen with room to boot.

The greatest benefit for me is the ability to use this in presenter mode with Keynote. I can see my notes, and slides across the stage. Best use yet of the 17"

Buy one if you need the screen size and ability to take your desktop with you on the road.

5 out of 5 stars I love my 1.67 GHz Apple PowerBook Notebook 17.......2006-04-28

I love my 1.67 GHz Apple PowerBook Notebook 17. I use it upstairs and out by the creek and pool with my airport. The battery lasts a long time. The screen is huge and it's and fasts. It plays some nice 3d games, burns dvd etc, I use it for net, quicken, iphoto, itunes and a bit of photoshop and I use isync to keep everything together. It's great on a airplane or when I can't get to my G4 duel. It's light weight and thin IMO.

I love it. I did add an extra gig of ram. Get one. You won't regret it.

1 out of 5 stars A $2500 paperweight.......2006-03-02

My new (dec. 05) P'book 17" - fully loaded - is in for it's third repair.

I am now getting my 3rd replacement logic board, 3rd replacement hard drive, and 2nd replacement display. In the 2 months I have owned this I have gotten 13 days use of it. Apple keeps replacing components but either their components are all dodgy, or there is an underlying problem (e.g. power supply) that they are incapable of looking for and/or diagnosing.

4 hard drives, 4 logic boards and 3 displays on a brand new machine?

The Apple Warranty states that refurbished parts may be used; but seeing as the technicians are not even fully documenting all that they do, I have no way of knowing if I am having bad parts put in. When I asked for Apple ot simply replace the machine, one particularly-condescending tech support person told me that it has not had enough 'downtime' yet; but one more catastrophic failure would be enough and they would replace it.

From Apple's customer-help site, I am not the only one with this ongoing problem.

Don't get me wrong - I am a complete MacHead, no way I will switch to a Windows machine yet (though I am currently using my antiquated 2002-vintage Powerbook-G4, oh the screen resolution sucks by comparison to the new 17"). Given my track record with previous Powerbooks and desktops I am simply not happy with the possibility that I can work away on my laptop and lose the day's work when everything dies with no warning. Apple tech support helpfully suggested I backup my data DAILY. (Given that I have NEVER had any failure of any other mac, ever, this is simply unacceptable). I can not trust this machine. (On the bright side, I only get a days worth of use out of it before it dies again... is that a GOOD thing?)

Be warned.

4 out of 5 stars The Ultimate PowerBook.......2006-02-21

I agree with the reviewers who said that there are some compromises required to slide this bad boy into a backpack or open it up in Cattle Class while flying. However, I've had mine for over three years, and am about to buy another one (I need a bigger hard drive). I love my 17" PowerBook and can't imagine switching to anything different. I have seen and tried all the other laptops around the office, and this one is still head and shoulders above other Wintel newer ones.

My current 17" PB also went off my motorbike with me in an accident a few years ago. The front left corner (hard drive!) was severely dented and the aluminum bent out of shape. I put it to sleep, took a pair of Vice Grips and a mallet to it, and pounded it back into shape. Opened the lid and started typing. Several years later, it is still working reliably. In some respects, I'd rather not get a new one, as this one has performed so well!

Two (bandaged) thumbs up!
