iBook on Apple's webpage. apple.com Why settle for stay-at-home computing when you can get the iMac to go? Introducing the iBook. Itås the notebook computer with easy access to the Internet, a choice of two colors, tons of free software, and a personality. You know how important they say it is to be a well-rounded person? The iBook was designed to be a well-rounded notebook computer. Smoothly rounded edges that fit the curve of your hands, pleasing textures, a brilliant 12.1-inch high-resolution active-matrix display, and a convenient carrying handle that folds away out of sight are among the many thoughtful touches youåll appreciate about the iBook. And with a 56K modem, a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port, Mac OS 8.6 and all the right software already installed, itås as Internet-ready as a notebook computer can be. The Beauty and the Beast But while youåll love the way the iBook looks and feels and connects to the Internet, youåll learn to respect the beast within. Because the iBook is powered by a blazingly fast 300MHz PowerPC G3 processor¥great for surfing the Internet, whipping out homework assignments, sending and receiving email, or beating the daylights out of friends at multiplayer games. The iBook is made for computing on the move: it comes fully-loaded with a lithium-ion battery that runs up to six hours between charges. The iBook has a tough polycarbonate body built to withstand life in a backpack¥and no doors or latches to break. Say goodbye to network cables The iBook also offers a very important benefit not generally associated with computers¥the freedom to move around while youåre working and playing and connecting to the Internet. Why is this important? Because however well designed your home or dorm is, chances are your jacks¥those little holes in the wall you plug your phone line into¥are in the wrong place, or in not enough of the right places to be really convenient. Only now it doesnåt matter, because the iBook offers a very affordable option that gets you around this obstacle. Itås called AirPort, and it lets you use your iBook from your couch¥or the garage, or the sundeck, or a treehouse, or anywhere else you make yourself comfortable¥up to 150 feet from an easy-to-install AirPort hardware access point. Because you donåt have all your fun sitting down in one place. You shouldnåt have to do all your computing sitting down in one place, either.
