Apple's New Powerbook Shines, Review of the new 1.25 GHz 15" Powerbook


There's nothing that brings back the sense of ecstatic anticipation that I had as a child on Christmas morning like waiting for the delivery guy to bring my new laptop. Online tracking says "out for delivery," so I'm sitting here, waiting by the front window of my house. It's 10:20 am, and I know it's likely to be a couple more hours. But I'm sitting here, basking in the childlike excitement. One manufacturer that understands and caters to this excitement is Apple Computer. They design their packaging almost as carefully as they design their computers. A new Powerbook comes nestled in its box like a piece of jewelry. I've bought Sonys and Dells too, but their packaging and presentation is more pedestrian. It's exciting to get one of those too, but experience has conditioned me to be particularly eager to open the box of my new 15" Powerbook G4.
