About This iBook

The Apple iBook G4/1.2 14-Inch (Early 2004 – Opaque White), is a 14.1 inch TFT XGA active-matrix display Notebook that has 60 GB of hard drive storage, it is powered by a 1.2 GHz PowerPC 7447a (G4) processor and a 4X AGP ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics with 32 MB of DDR SDRAM. It has a 8X “Combo Drive” for its standard optical drive and a single FireWire “400” port and a new hybrid A/V port that provides composite audio/video out capabilities. 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.

Storage

The Apple iBook device is built with 60 GB Ultra ATA/100 hard drive storage. The hard drive has many reported issues after owners had dropped their devices on the ground. Due to no the lack of safety mechanisms available, the drives would fail mechanically after a hard shock or jolt.
