Federal Computer Week has published a review of Apple's PowerBook G4, grading the laptop an "A". "If we could measure the 'ooh and ah' factor of Apple Computer Inc.’s new PowerBook G4 notebook, it would earn top honors."

Would you expect anything less than an "A" from Apple.
I live in DC, and the Washington Post normally reprints reviews from Federal Computer Week. Normally they are very critical of Apple products, and even when they like the hardware they will bring up things like (don't buy this because the Mac OS is dead) or something like that.
For them, this is a very impressive review.
The reviewer says the startup is slower from battery than from AC. Does this make sense to anyone? I can't think of why the startup time would differ.
It could be slower if procesor cycling or reduce processor speed was on.
Yes, it makes perfect sense. Most devices need a lot more power at startup then during normal operation. To conserve battery power, these devices can be started more slowly.
The reason it makes a difference is because then the battery does not need to supply a high peak power. It can be designed more efficiently if it doesn't need to feed that surge.
I'm glad Federal Computer Week rated them soo highly, too bad its all but impossible to buy a Mac if you work for the Air Force ... Im soo glad they insisted we by all Micron Laptops.. there is a company that wont be going out of business like Apple (ROFLMAO)
Well, the only AF IT drone I ever knew got all misty eyed when talking about Bill Gates. But WTF is ROFLMAO? Please advise.
Rolling on the floor laughing my a** off.
