Those who’ve considered Apple’s amazing new PowerBook G4 series of portable computers but can’t quite justify the expense would do well to explore its less expensive, slightly less capable sibling, the iBook G4. Available in three flavors, the iBook G4 doesn’t sport PowerBook amenities such as DVD burning and massive widescreen displays, yet all three models feature superb connectivity, subcompact dimensions, and impressive battery life. This particular unit, the entry-level iBook G4 12-inch M9164LL/A, is the most affordable mobile computer in the entire Apple roster.

Featuring a spry power section consisting of an 800 MHz PowerPC G4 processor and 256 MB RAM (expandable to 640 MB), the system packs enough raw muscle for most typical mobile computing tasks. However, the real surprise comes in its 3-D rendering capabilities. Unlike many comparably equipped notebooks, the iBook G4 12-inch features an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 video chipset with 32 MB of dedicated DDR SDRAM memory. Thusly, it will efficiently handle demanding applications such as 3-D drawing and even some 3-D gaming.

At just 11.2 by 9.1 by 1.3 inches and a scant 4.9 pounds, the iBook G4 12-inch is downright tiny. Yet when you flip the lid you’ll find such desirable perks as a full-size 77-key keyboard with 12 function keys and four arrow keys, a trackpad with double-tap and drag capabilities, a smallish but crystal clear 12.1-inch display capable of 1024×768 resolution, and a combination CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive through which you can burn audio CDs, archive files and play the latest Hollywood blockbusters. For storing your files, Apple has installed a serviceable 30 GB hard disk — enough space for general use but too little for serious multimedia archiving.

Connectivity options include an integrated 56K modem for dial-up communications, a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port for LAN and high-speed Internet and email, and two high-speed USB 2.0 ports and one FireWire 400 port for external high-tech toys such as scanners, digital cameras and digital camcorders. Users can also purchase an Apple AirPort Extreme Card for wireless communication and an internal Bluetooth module to interact with future cordless Bluetooth devices such as cell phones and PDAs.

Bundled software includes Apple’s newest operating system, Mac OS X v.10.3 Panther, and a broad range of highly useable multimedia utilities. Under ideal conditions, battery life is estimated at a stunning six hours.

    This computer is good for two types of users: 1) hard-core Mac fanatics who were raised on these machines and know them inside-out; and 2) people with special computer needs (e.g., photo editing).

    For everyone else, stay away. The basic functionality on these computers simply doesn’t stack up to comparable (or even slightly cheaper) PC laptops. Most importantly, browsing the Internet on this computer feels like 1997 on a PC. It crashes, freezes, takes forever to load pages, can’t interact with video or sound, etc.

    I used to be a big Mac fan, but they have totally lost the edge. Unless you really know what you’re getting into, stick with a PC. (You’ll also get a lot more for your money.)

    Why be the tiny 2% of all PC users and use an OS that’s outdated and SLOOOOOW and sold by a company whose CEO thinks he’s god? You can think you look cool or “unique” but carrying an Apple product just marks you a freak, an elitist. Take this iBook for example. It has a very slow processor, reports of motherboard problems, and a screen that’s dark and bluish (esp. right next to Sony’s notebooks). Battery life gets pretty bad (<2 hours) after the first few weeks. The entire package feels cheap, even though you are paying a lot. And face it, to make it into a useful computer, you will still end up buying lots of M$ software. So might as well admit it upfront and go with the flow. It's dangerous to think you are smart by being in the 2% while 98% of the world is stupid and wrong.

    I love Apple, I have no problem with the fact that they aren’t the fastest computes in the world. I but them because I like the styling a lot and I like having a unix based OS. However an 800Mhz G4 is not fast enough to handle a lot of task. If fact the G4 is pretty much an out of date CPU. I mean the design has to be 7 years old! So please, buy Apple, but don’t waste your money on a CPU this old.

    Well it’s worth 2 stars because it’s fine for reading email. Perhaps writing a Word document. And only if you do those things for less than 30 minutes a day (eye strain builds up after a while).

    It is useless for games, video, music or long term computer use. And since the CPU was slow and outdated 2 years ago, it’s pratically useless now for any new software.

    I would say the price is great, but why spend money on something you really can’t use?

    So unless you have almost no computing needs, buy a fast G5 or Centrino, or don’t bother.
