July 26, 2005: Apple is discussing the opaque white iBook G4, the last of its laptops, which runs under the name iBook.
For the first time, a portable computer adds Apple’s scrolling track. It also included Bluetooth 2.0 as a standard feature and becomes the last Apple notebook with a PowerPC chip.
IBook G4: Robust Notebook Apple
Compared to today’s slender MacBook professionals or even in 2008 MacBook Air, the 2005 iBook from 2005 looks quite robust. To put it in the perspective, now a discinted 12 -inch MacBook thought it was just cap iBook G4.
What he missed in Skinniness, however, dealt with this harsh notebook with the power of power under the hood. Compared to the release of the model at the end of 2004, it boasts a faster processor, double RAM (512 MB compared to 256 MB), another 10 GB of hard disk space and superred graphics.
In addition to the new trackpad – which allows users to move with two fingers – the latest iBook also includes smart technology for Apple’s sudden movement. Designed to prevent the movement of the hard disk heads, if it was abandoned by the notebook, it protected from data loss.
Both of these features have previously discussed Apple PowerBook G4. Their arrival to iBook has made them available to average users. Displays scanning the original iBook G4 (.pdf) all functions.
iBook is an important step towards MacBook
Starting with the very first iBook in 1999, a number of popular notebooks meant an important era in Apple history. From the color original iMac-Lite to the plasticized white versions in the style of iPod later helped iBooks make the Apple notebooks cool and ubiquitous during their seven years on the market.
Apple has interrupted this particular model iBook 19 May 2006. The company then switched to Intel processors and introduced its MacBook product line.
These days, Cupertino laptops are running on powerful and extremely efficient Apple silicon. The company introduced its M1 chip in November 2020, then quickly iteral with a very powerful Pro, Max and Ultra version. The arrival of the M2 chip in June 2022 and M3 followed in October 2023 (somewhat surprise that the M4 chip was discussed in iPad last May.)
