G4 iBook
Apple made an unexpected move today and released the G4 iBooks.
The new G4 iBook features a slightly redesigned case, an 800MHz to 1GHz PowerPC G4 processor, slot-loading optical drives, optional Airport Extreme wireless networking, and optional Bluetooth connectivity.
Despite the fact that the iBook and the PowerBook now sport G4 processors, the PowerBook still has a number of advantages over the iBook, including a larger L2 cache (512KB vs 256KB), digital video out, larger memory capacity (2GB vs 640MB), faster memory and system bus, display spanning support (the iBook only supports display mirroring), and SuperDrive support.
