Amazon.com Product Description
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 1024x768 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.

 It's nice but June 30, 2010

I got a 12 in used today and already want to sell it. The 1 gb memory is so small, that you can't even do the updates the computer needed if you have downloaded anything. The computer is nice, it's a great size, and graphic are good. But this is a HUGE problem for me. I did not realize how fast 1 gb goes, until I got this computer.I will probably get a Mac again I will just need something with WAY more memory.
Unique laptop! April 7, 2010
M. Harley (PA, USA)
This Ibook is not the most powerful machine but it operates so well. Not good for video game or watch internet tv but for surfing the internet or using itune, watch video stuff will be great. Also when you use apple laptop you never gets virus (that's my opinion but most people who use apple would agree with me)which great to have peace of mind. Solid machine and I love it!
 The original netbook! March 17, 2010
Miss Margaret Picky (NYC)
I've had a 12" iBook G4 since 2005 and it's still my favorite notebook for browsing the internet, writing letters, and even reading pdf's. It's very lightweight and I consider the screen the perfect size. It's held up very well. One of the keys has a hairline crack and one of the rubber feet on the bottom fell off but I clean it every month or so and it still looks almost new.
My only criticism is that it gets a little warm so I keep it on top of a clipboard when holding it in my lap. No viruses, no crashes, no worries.
When netbooks started becoming popular a couple of years ago, I had to laugh because I already have a lightweight, handy netbook. In fact, I'm using it right now to write this review. Given a choice between a new Asus or Dell netbook or a used iBook G4 for the same price, I would take the G4 without thinking about it for a second.

Not Good !! The Laptop looked very nice from the outside but some of the keys didn't work. I purchased it on May 20, 2009 and still have not received a replacement or refund. Still waiting......
Great computer December 12, 2007

Great computer. Has the slot loading cd drive. Burn your own cd watch your favorite dvds. Transfer files from Microsoft Office to your other pcs. Search the internet without the fear of a virus. Check your email. Great starter Mac. Best part is it has a very stable operating system, which means it won't crash as often (if ever) as some other pcs might.
