Due partly to the fact that a good friend worked at Apple for many years, and I could get good deals, I’ve had almost every major model of Powerbook since 1995. 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. I’ve bought Sonys and Dells too, but their packaging and presentation is more pedestrian. A new Powerbook comes nestled in its box like a piece of jewelry. They design their packaging almost as carefully as they design their computers. One manufacturer that understands and caters to this excitement is Apple Computer. But I’m sitting here, basking in the childlike excitement. It’s 10:20 am, and I know it’s likely to be a couple more hours. Online tracking says “out for delivery,” so I’m sitting here, waiting by the front window of my house. 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.

Here is our review of the new 1.25 GHz 15″ Powerbook G4.
