Here’s a follow up to my previous post about iBook G4. Eventhough I quite satisfied with it, there are several things that dissapointed me. First, the weighs. For a 12.1-inch laptop, I expect something lighter – and thinner – than this one. It’s heavy and kinda hard to carry with one hand.

Second, the boot time. Well, not really complain though, but the Power button is kinda strange. Sometimes I only need a light press to turn it on, while in another time, I have to press it hard. It also takes time until the “loading screen” show up which, at the first time I saw it, made me think that my G4 is broken.

The last thing that dissapoint me is the games. I’ve browsed the web and found out that most interesting games are not free But at least that gives me an idea about a Mac gaming website, something like FreeGamesReview.com I also plan to write my experiences switching from Windows to Mac on a new site. I’ve been using DOS and Windows for about 18 years, so, trust me, using iBook is really a big adventures to me. For example, it took a day to figure that I should press Ctrl + click to bring up the pop up menu similar to Right mouse click. Call me stupid.

Well, meanwhile, until I figure out the domain for the new site (you know Apple and their crazy copyrigt and trademark stuff), I’ll write about iBook G4 here. So, until next time.
