Just in time for holiday shopping, Apple released on Tuesday a new line of its entry-level iBook notebook computers.
The latest version of the iBook line packs more processing power than its predecessors and comes with 801.11g wireless networking as a standard feature. But it's slimmed-down price tag will no doubt appeal to its targeted education and consumer and customers. While the new iBook line is aimed at consumers, the top-end iBook's features now come close to those of the current 15-inch PowerBook that Apple considers part of its professional lineup. Priced at $1,499, the top-of-the-line iBook comes with a 1.33GHz PowerPC G4 processor, 14-inch LCD as well as Apple's slot-loading "SuperDrive," a combination CD-R and DVD-R drive—features once reserved for the PowerBook line. The entry-level 12-inch iBook, which previously featured a 1Ghz processor, has been bumped up to a 1.2 GHz G4 processor.
