Manufacturer's product description
When Apple set out to create the iBook, one of key design goals was to create a lightweight notebook computer tough enough to stand up to the occasional bumps and other unexpected mishaps of life on the go. From the standpoint of a laptop, the inside of a backpack can be a fairly inhospitable place. And yet you shouldn't have to walk softly just because you're carrying the most appealing notebook ever. So Apple made the iBook's sleek case out of impact-resistant polycarbonate plastic. That would ordinarily be sufficient to survive the rigorous of everyday use and abuse, but Apple didn't stop there. Inside, a sturdy magnesium frame provides superior strength, while reducing the iBook's weight to well below that of other full-featured PC notebooks. Apple even rubber-mounted the hard disk drive for added bump tolerance, so you can store all of your digital goodies on your iBook and still enjoy peace of mind. Additionally, the iBook has no I/O doors, protruding latches or levers to break or snap off when tucking it into a backpack or briefcase.

...IBook Special Edition
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...

...I got one o these from a friend for £50 in April. I have not been disappointed by it! it does everything like movies, music, pics and lots of other stuff. Display is nice for 800 x 600. FireWire is a real help as USB is so SLOW! Mono speaker is good for its size and its battery life is great. 5 hours on full charge! RAM does need upgrading for apps like Photoshop or iMovie, and 10GB is pretty small for lots of music and movies. RAM was my only issue. very small amount. I would fill it to its maximum.
Other wise its a great machine in all respects!
Would highly recommend this iBook! Great buy!
Thank you...

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....

I recently bought this iPod Shuffle for my mum as a Christmas present and I think she is going to love it. She has been saying for a while she would like a little Mp3 player so I thought this would be perfect for her. This little Mp3 player is small and... more

Reading a Book is not usually my favorite pass time, but when I was brought the Steve Wozniaks biography 'I Woz' I could not put it down.
On first impressions I thought the book would be all about how he invented the 'APPLE-1' noteably the first ever more
