G4 iBook

Apple’s decision to quietly update their iBook line with G4 processors has surprised me. With a G5 Powerbook rumoured to be in the pipeline for release next summer, I would have expected the iBook revisions to take place early next year. Apart from some extra graphics clout, in-built Bluetooth and faster networking capability there doesn’t seem to be much difference between the new 12” iBook and the 12” Powerbook… well, not 450 worth of difference anyway.
