From the Manufacturer

Like to carry around a notebook that delivers exceptional power at an affordable price? Then pick up an iBook G4. With a faster PowerPC G4 processor running at speeds up to 1.0 GHz–expanded memory capacity, advanced wireless networking capabilities, and the impressive stability provided by Mac OS X version 10.3 “Panther,” iBook G4 brings truly impressive performance to everyday life.

Perfect for the activities you engage in each and every day — surfing the web, getting and sending email, chatting up a storm, doing your homework, playing games, listening to CDs, watching DVD movies, or creating your own musical compositions — iBook G4 fits snugly in your backpack and comfortably in your digital life.

Go Anywhere. Handle Anything.
iBook G4 offers an extra long battery life which features up to an incredible 6 hours of battery life. Many consumer notebooks offer you less than half that amount of battery life. Less than half. Not iBook G4. Thanks to the special energy-saving features built into the PowerPC G4 processor, the ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics processor, and Mac OS X Panther itself, iBook G4 consumes energy highly efficiently. Result: you can work much longer untethered.

The lightest all-in-one consumer notebook on the market, the 12.1-inch iBook G4 weighs just 4.9 pounds. Many textbooks weigh more than either one. Lightweight, iBook G4 is also thin — a svelte 1.35 inches to be exact — making this impressive notebook small enough to fit in a backpack and light enough to carry around all day.

From the standpoint of a laptop, the inside of a backpack can be a rather jarring environment, one filled with bumps and even the occasional bounce. That’s why Apple designed the iBook G4 from inside out to stand up to the rigors of a fairly 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.

First off, Apple made the iBook’s sleek white case out of ultratough, impact-resistant polycarbonate plastic — the same high-grade material used in bulletproof glass. While that measure alone might have allowed iBook to comfortably survive everyday use and abuse, Apple 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. 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. What’s more, the iBook has no I/O doors, protruding elements — and no tray, either — to break or snap off when tucked into a backpack or briefcase.

Power adapter When you’re ready to take your iBook G4 out of your backpack and plug it in, you’ll find a well-designed, square-shaped power adapter that will serve all your needs. The adapter, which fits easily in your hand, has retractable hooks that let you wrap the DC cord for neater storage. While you can use the included AC plug to connect the adapter directly into a nearby wall outlet, your iBook also includes a separate AC Cord that lets you plug into an outlet up to 12 feet away. Colored LED lights show charging status. An amber ring indicates that your battery is recharging, while a green ring tells you that you have a full charge.

Need performance?
The iBook features a 1GHz PowerPC G4 processor with Velocity Engine and 512K Level 2 Cache. Can you say “speedy.” To maximize its speed, Apple pairs the G4 processor with a fast 133MHz system bus and 256MB of onboard memory to accelerate calculations and make your applications scream. And you’ll also be glad to hear that you can boost memory capacity to a remarkable 1.25GB of memory. How many applications would you like to run at the same time?

The iBook features a roomy 30 GB hard drive. With iBook’s slot-loading Combo Drives you can watch DVDs, play music CDs, and burn your own data CDs and music CDs.

An impressive display
Both iBook models offer brilliant 1024-by-768-pixel resolution — ideal for doing everything from working on spreadsheets to displaying your movies and digital pictures in millions of colors. What’s more, the iBook display scales down beautifully, again with millions of colors, for special games and applications optimized for 800-by-600 or 640-by-480 pixel resolutions. And both come powered by an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics processor with 32MB of dedicated video memory and AGP 4x support for dazzling 3D graphics that bring games to life.

A new point of view
The world’s most elegant user interface just got easier. A completely new Finder provides a vastly improved view of the system, with one-click access to your favorite files and folders, whether on your hard drive, iDisk, network servers or removable media. On top of that, Panther returns search results as you type in queries to find your stuff, refining the list as you narrow options. Sure you could quantify that as up to six times faster than Jaguar, but you’ll probably think Panther’s done almost before you stop typing. It’s just that fast. Compare that to finding files on a Windows-based machine and, well, there’s simply no comparison.

Mac OS X has evolved. The fourth major release in just three years, Panther offers breakthroughs in innovation, ease of use and reliability that won’t be seen in other operating systems for years, if ever. If you’re one of the millions of Mac owners, you’ll love the powerful refinements to your system. Or as a user of a Windows- or UNIX-based system, you’ll find mouth-watering incentives to switch to a Mac as your main computer.

Enjoy the digital lifestyle
You’ll never run out of amazing things to do with your iBook. Especially since every iBook ships with the entire suite of iLife ’04 applications — iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand, and iDVD. Apple’s award-winning software suite lets you create your own music CDs, manage your digital photos, edit pro-quality movies, write your own music with drag-and-drop ease, and author DVD projects, too. What’s more, the entire suite works seamlessly together, so you can easily bring your photos into iMovie and songs from your iTunes music library into iMovie, iPhoto, and iDVD. You won’t find anything like it on a PC.
