Mac|Life has a nice list of the 5 best and 5 worst Apple laptops of all time. The list is mostly good, but I have to quibble, naturally. Anyone who puts the Duo on the list of the best seems unlikely to have used one. They were a neat idea, and ahead of their time, but they really sucked both as laptops and as desktops. They certainly weren’t among the worst, either, but clearing them off the list would make room for the 12″ aluminum G4 PowerBook.

As for the worst, most of the stinkers they name deserve to be there; not the “toilet seat” tangerine and blueberry iBooks, though. Those were great, solid machines and among the first inexpensive machines with available built-in WiFi. But even if you think they’re bad, the hideous ball of suck that was the PowerBook 1400 has to overshadow them. And every machine Apple’s produced since, to be honest.
