Apple iBook G4

Apple iBook G4

 

For a laptop, the inside of a backpack presents a jarring environment filled with shifts, bounces and the occasional bump. That's why Apple engineers designed the iBook G4 from... more...inside out to stand up to the rigors of a strenuous life on the go. After all, you shouldn't have to walk softly just because you're carrying the world's most appealing notebook. Made of ultra tough polycarbonate plastic - the same high-grade material used in bulletproof glass - the iBook's sleek white case resists impact. While that measure alone might have allowed iBook to comfortably survive everyday use and abuse, Apple engineers took the idea of protecting your investment quite seriously. Inside, a sturdy magnesium frame provides superior strength, while reducing the weight of the iBook G4 to well below that of other full-featured PC notebooks. Rubber mounted for added bump tolerance, the iBook's hard disk drive lets you store all of your digital goodies and still enjoy peace of mind. What's more, the iBook has no I/O doors or protruding elements - and no optical drive tray, either - to break or snap off when tucked into a backpack or briefcase.

The Apple iBook G4 - PPC G4 1.42 GHz - 14.1" TFT, is certainly one of apple's fattest laptops, but it by no means a bad laptop in terms of specification.

I do nto particularly like the design, it was a letdown for me because I always liked all of Apple's unique computer designs... this one just didnt cut it for me... :-(

On the bright side, it turned out to be quite fast and reliable for the specs it had, sure it wasnt as perfect as the one that fits in the envelope! But it was very good for its hardware... Why? Because apple macs are clean, and not full of rubbish that accumilates after time on windows computers constantly! This is why I like macs so much!
