Apple - iBook G4 - Technical Specifications

The impact-resistant iBook G4 makes a stunning impact.

When we set out to redesign the iBook G4 from the inside out, one of our key design goals was to create a lightweight notebook computer tough enough to stand up to the rigors of life on the go. Because, from the standpoint of a laptop, the inside of a backpack can be a rather bumpy place. And yet you shouldn’t have to walk softly just because you’re carrying the world’s most appealing notebook.

So we made the iBook’s sleek case out of impact-resistant polycarbonate plastic. That would ordinarily be sufficient to survive everyday use and abuse, but we took the idea of protection even further. Inside, a sturdy magnesium frame provides superior strength, while reducing the iBook’s weight to well below that of other full-featured PC notebooks. We even rubber-mounted the hard disk drive for added bump tolerance, so you can store all of your digital goodies on your iBook and still enjoy peace of mind. Additionally, the iBook has no I/O doors, protruding elements — and no tray, either — to break or snap off when tucking it into a backpack or briefcase.

iBook Ports

Power adapter
The iBook comes with a convenient square-shaped power adapter that fits in your hand. The adapter has retractable hooks that let you wrap the DC cord for neater storage. The AC cord lets you connect your iBook to an outlet up to 12 feet away, and you can also remove the cord and use the included AC plug to connect the adapter directly into the wall. Colored LED lights show charging status. An amber ring indicates that your battery is recharging, while a green ring tells you that you have a full charge.
