Apple iBook G4 (M9627) Mac Notebook Review




Introduction:

The 14 1.33 GHz iBook laptop gives you all the power of a Macintosh computer in an easily portable and attractive form. The laptop's case is made of polycarbonate plastic, the same material used to make bulletproof glass and is designed to meet the needs of video editors, graphics designers, educators and businesspeople. The computer is loaded with 60GB of hard drive space, 256 MB of RAM, the ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 display card, built-in Airport Extreme wireless networking and Apple's slot-loading ComboDrive, a 24X speed CD burner that also reads DVD discs. This is all built around Apple's G4 architecture and powered by Mac OS X, a true 32-bit operating system. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 6 hours of use on a single charge, allowing you to work on your computer on the go without worrying about finding a power outlet
