iBook G4s

Very quietly released, about, well, a minute ago, or something.


 

Starting at £ 849, for an 800 MHz G4 Combo.


 

Slotloading, now.

WAAAAAAAAAAAANT


 

Ok, so the differences between this and the powebooks?


 

Still 1024x768 screen.


 

No DVD burning


 

No screen spanning


 

(ok, that one is a guess. But reasonable)


blech:

The Graphics page says 'VGA video output to mirror your work', so it looks like the (firmware) restriction is still maintained.


 

It almost goes without saying that the new iBooks use the more modern motherboard, so there's Airport Extreme support, BTO Bluetooth support and USB2.


 

Annoyingly the memory limit is still 640MB, which is a bit small.

Quarter Life Crisis / Roundup: Haven't tried it, but there's a tool for making OS X boot CDs from our university. Nice to see they have Mac people working here as well. Also note...
