Obviously, whatever is the most recent notebook is Apple\u2019s best but when you look at them all side by side and take yourself back to the year it was released, I\u2019d say the G4 PowerBook was my favorite. Its size, speed and battery life for the time was amazing and it set the stage for how Apple\u2019s notebooks look today.
