(Specifically iBook G4s made early this year)
They're pretty. Verrrry pretty. Inside and out. I love the aquaness of everything.
Fewer viruses. By *far* fewer viruses, as most are written for PC's.
It's very good with pop-up controls, as the default on most browsers is already 'block' and it doesn't accidentally unblock them. (AOL, at least for me, tends to do that for some reason)
Picture moving! Instead of right click-saving, you can just drag the picture into the application you want; and instead of right click-properties, you can drag the picture into the address bar for its url. (The Mac mouse is a single-button one, but it's very easy to get used to. Or it was for me.)
iTunes. You can import all of your CDs and arrange them into playlist after playlist after playlist. I know there are PC programs for that, yes, but it's still worth mentioning.
Every application doesn't take up the entire screen, just the area of a single window, so its easy to switch windows. And you can hit F9 to see and choose one of your open windows if you need it but couldn't see it.
They're quiiet.
Cons:
My iBook is gone due to a logic board screwup. I'm not sure what that is, but apparently it happens to Appley notebooks sometimes.
AOL hates Macs. Music videos and Easy Designer both bring up a 'You do not have the required software' window for me. I use Safari instead, and I have my own webspace for hosting et cetera.
I can't think of any more for right now, but I will when I get my computer back.
