Manufacturer's product description
While the Graphite isn't technically a new color for the iBook, note the new snow accents on all of the new models. Except this snow is polished smooth and glossy - almost like it's dripping wet. A minor detail? Perhaps. But it's part of the sensory experience of using an iBook. The iBook Special Edition has a built-in feature designed to help make it the life of the party, and that's DVD. So you and your friends can slip the latest DVD title into the DVD-ROM drive and watch it on a brilliant display - or on your TV. Looking for Pentium-crushing speed? You've found it with the iBook Special Edition Graphite. In performance tests running processor-intensive applications like Macromedia Director and Adobe Photoshop, the new iBook soundly whipped the competition.

...IBookSpecialEdition
The look of the Ibook is shiny smoother and smart. There are three colours in the range which are lime, indigo and graphite. The Ibook is available with two different processor speeds: you can choose between a 366Mhz Ibook or you can opt for the more powerfull 466Mhz which features a DVD rom. Also they both feature firewire ports and Imovie 2 software make editing home movies easy. The composite video-out port will allow you to output to home made creations to a TV or VCR.
The rest of the line up isn’t as impressive. It 466MhzG3 processor can’t compete with the latest mobile offering from Intel, and its 64mb of Ram isn’t the largest about available. As with all Apple products, the Ibook runs the Mac operating system, so windows and windows apps will not run...

Advantages: Light, strong and hardly ever crashes Disadvantages: Fairly high price to pay
...The latest iBook from Apple opens a new chapter on portable convenience and performance. I bought this new iBook as I needed something reliable, small and light which I could travel with and use on the go. The iBook is perfect, almost 2lbs lighter than the previous version it contains a powerful G3 processer, allowing more programs to run at the same time. New features enable you to burn your own CDs, watch DVDs on the go and it only takes 10 minutes to get the Internet up and running. Encased in a durable polycarbonate construction, Apple have even included an inner Magnesium case so the iBook can withstand the everyday pressures or normal life.
Although the iBook will set you back a fairly high price, its worth every penny as its your long term, compact travelling companion in a world of boundless possibilities.
Way to go Apple....

Advantages: Tiny, fast, wireless networking and sexy design Disadvantages: None
...I have had my iBook for over 6 months now, and I have never regretted the purchase. I do all my work, internet surfing and play on the thing.
Apple have just recently come up with a new ibook, which sports all of these amazing features:
500 Mhzg3 Processor - Roughly equal to a 750 PIII
Tiny, ice-white rugged design
12.1" XGA screen
CD/CDR/DVD or CDR and DVD combo drives available
option wireless networking
Mirroring to Monitor or TV
Firewire port - edit your digital videos
Built in Networking
And All this for only 1200 pounds!
I know that the screen is not that large, but believe me, it is the best quality, and helps to make the'book TINY.
Unless you want the ultimate in speed (Then you should get the Powerbook G4) - whoever you are and whatever you do, this is the laptop for you....

Before I begin, I warn you that I have a lot to say. I will try to be succinct (as always), but there's a very good chance I'll fail. For your information, I am writing this review on my shiny new Mac! I should also warn you that I have exams starting more
