Apple Updates iBook

Posted by pudge on from the now-with-optional-superdrive-ha-ha-just-kidding dept.

micq writes "After the PowerBook was updated with a faster processor at the end of April, the iBook was sure to follow. Apple announced today that the popular iBook line has been updated, upping it to a 700MHz G3. It's good to see they're still keeping the 12.1" models, which are of the few remaining small screen, ultra-portables..." They've also improved the video card to an ATI Mobility Radeon. Prices range from $1500 to $1800 for the 700MHz model (12" and 14"), and there's a 12"/600MHz model for $1200.

    I like apple but buying their iBooks with a G3 processor is a joke. In about a year I'll need a new computer. This is a really bad move they should focus on upping the speed on their G4 chips and dicontinue the G3 all together.

    iMac'rs are not real mac users, id love to see a dalmation iMac push a 2gig PSD file around on its 15 in screen. Heres a suggestion, buy a G4, realise that the iMac is the kiddie pool, and dive off of the cliff into the ocean of what the mac is really all about.
