Portable enough to take anywhere, the Apple iBook boasts a solid set of features and a design that will appeal to Mac and PC devotees alike. Weighing in at a mere 4.9 pounds and standing 1.35 inches high, it is easily one of the most compact units on the market. It comes with a 600 MHz PowerPC G3 processor, 128 MB of RAM (expandable to 640 MB), and a 20 GB hard disk. Additional features include a combination CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, a 56K modem, a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet NIC, and a 12.1-inch, active-matrix display. The system comes with both the classic Mac OS 9 and the slick new Mac OS X operating systems installed.
- 600-MHz PowerPC G3

This Laptops give to us some advantages, like this :
1. A great laptop! *****
Apple has reinvented the iBook as one of the best laptops. Not just Mac, but in all of the PC world. The second generation of this version has a faster processor, a larger hard drive, and still looks great. People are drawn to look at this machine from the time you pull it from it's case. I would certainly recommend a RAM upgrade. 128 is okay, but it is just barely getting by. I'd suggest at least doubling that. Since the iBook only has one RAM slot, you may want to do that on ordering. However, you can get quality chips for less from other sources, and since it's a fairly simple install you can do it yourself in a few minutes.
I use my iBook as a webmaster with Macromedia Dreamweaver and Fireworks, Adobe Photoshop, and iMovie 2. My digital camera mounts as an external hard drive. My digital video camera links through the Firewire port with no fuss at all.
Overall, I would highly recommend the iBook.

The perfect Reporter's or student's notebook.
Almost all of the SPECs on this baby are just what you want in a laptop -- fast processor, just over 1 inch thick case, less than 5 pounds, 5-hour battery. In person, you won't believe how small and truly portable this machine is. It's great for reporters on the go such as myself, or for students in a dorm room. It has all the right ports, and appears to be made with quality in mind.
The screen is exceptionally bright as well.
My only two complaints: 1) The low-end model skimps horribly on the memory (for shame, Apple! They could have added another 64 MB). You can upgrade the memory easy enough aftermarket, but that's an annoyance (128MB is practically required for OS X, BTW).
2) The screen is a fairly miserly 12.1 inches, although it is active-matrix and high-resolution. Now, keep in mind that this contributes to the low-cost, svelte form factor and long battery life, but I wouldn't mine having a 13-14 inch screen when I'm squinting at text all day. I generally solve this...
