About This iBook

The Apple iBook G3, is a 12.1 inch TFT active-matrix display Notebook that has 6 GB of hard drive storage, it is powered by a 366 MHz PowerPC 750 (G3) processor and a 2X AGP ATI Rage Mobility graphics with 4 MB of VRAM. It has quite portable dimensions and weight of 46mm×343mm×295mm and 6.7 lbs (3.04 kg) respectively. This is easily considered cutting edge in terms of portability for its time as personal computers were still finding their feet in the consumer market. It has a 24X CD-ROM for its standard optical drive. The variation of ports and the inclusion of a “high quality” display allowed for Apple to market the iBook as a high end personal device available to the regular consumer.
