Apple Updates iBook Line With G4 Processor

Posted by timothy on from the curse-you-apple dept.

Kyro writes "Apple today upgraded their iBook notebook range across the board to G4 processors, Airport Extreme, bluetooth, USB 2.0, and slot-loading combo drives. All models ship with Mac OS X 10.3, and the 12" model gets a 800Mhz G4 while the 14" models get a choice of 933Mhz or 1Ghz. Prices largely remain the same as the old G3 versions." Mwongozi adds "Although not announced on the front page, the Apple Store was updated just a few minutes ago to show the new iBook."

    Mwongozi, how did you know? Do you sit at the Apple Store hitting reload looking for changes? :-)

  3. consider talking to a lawyer by green+pizza · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Having bought a 900 Mhz G3 iBook just after they came out, I am moved to tears to see the G4 iBooks now.

    Yeah, Apple pulled another fast one, making even more enemies and possibly breaking the law in more than a few places.

    You may have a legal case here, though I don't think you would get much more than a new iBook out of the deal. (And depending on the cost of a lawyer, it may not even be worth going after).
