The new iBook. Its fun, fast and exactly what I needed for a day on the road. Empowered with startling processor speeds of up to 466 megahertz, no job is too small for this gorgeous piece of technology from the guys at Apple. Arriving promptly in its box, I was surprised by how quickly and easily I could setup and begin working on the iBook. Faster than most Windows operating systems, I found the navigation simple yet effective. When I first decided upon a colour (the iBook comes in a choice of 'flavors'), I was slightly disappointed by the range available. The Special Edition comes in a 'Kermit' the frog green or Grey (yawn), so to add a little interest, I chose the green. Apple could improve by adding more colors to the range, I'm sure a 'Ruby Red' would attract far more interest.

The best thing about the Special Edition is the DVD Drive, allowing you to take your favorite Hollywood movie wherever you go. If you've got a movie to share with friends, you use the new AV port and enjoy the show on the big screen.

The durable construction of polycarbonate and rubber protects the iBook from knocks or bangs and its smooth shape makes it easy to carry, with no protruding latches or edges to get caught or damaged.

Altogether, a fantastic new laptop with convenient advantages compared to others currently available. Rip. Mix. Burn.
