The keyboard is very comfortable to type on even if it was a major departure from previous designs. The black plastic keycaps are quite durable and the laptop's keyboard feels pleasant to use. On the other side, the butterfly mechanism is much more sensitive to damage, if improperly handled. In most use cases, survivability is quite good put precautions should be exercised when cleaning the keyboard. Of course, Apple is to blame also for starting the unpleasant trend of flashy but less comfortable keyboards. The wireless performance is slightly improved compared with previous PowerBook laptops. On the other side, the included Ethernet port offers very good performance and reliability, being a good networking choice. The laptop also included a slightly better Bluetooth implementation. | The keyboard is very comfortable to type on even if it was a major departure from previous designs.

This is perhaps the biggest achievement of the laptop's design as it features a flashy case that is durable yet attractive enough. Of course, not the same can be said about the screen, as it can be easily damaged. However, if properly cared for, the laptop had a good chance of long service. The display hinges are still very well engineered even if they may not look to be anything special. It should be said that most other laptop manufacturers at that time were willing to cope the design but did not care to make a build that was durable enough. The integrated speakers are average, having decent performance. | ||
The rechargeable battery can be easily removed or replaced as are most internal components such as RAM. The standard HDDs are fast enough for Mac OSX. Replacing the hard-drive is somewhat difficult but the system accepts even last generation SATA 3 drives, including SSDs, for massive speed improvements. Software support is good as the system can run PowerPC applications, albeit at slower performance, in the Rosetta emulation environment. | The rechargeable battery can be easily removed or replaced as are most internal components such as RAM.
