Too bad this doesn't show the "One More Thing..." where Steve demoed Wifi for the first time. Pretty sure iBook was the first device on the market with wireless ethernet. We take it for granted today but it was a life changer when announced.
this is back when apple actually made unique and well designed computers at a good price. Now they use the same hardware as a PC and are overpriced pieces of junk.
All you dumb kids that are hating on this needs to understand that at this time, the Dreamcast was barely out.. so yeah, this thing was pretty ground breaking..and year from now people are gonna be making fun of your ipads and think cause of the name they were only used for women. haha!
lol im starting to see apple and its consumer as a sect! i reacted on a couple of persons that were overjoyed! big smiles they looked at steve as he was Jesus himself. Really beatiful comp btw xD
i dont give a shit o.e its 1599$ thats alot ot me no matter what fucking year it is if u think it was cheap back then then why didnt u buy one? and if u did wow o.e
thats the truith. i got one for my sister for christmas and when it was plugged in to power it up it smelled like burning electronics. not sure if it was the shipping or if it was just faulty but now i need to find a cheep logic board for it.
I owned this one. loved it! except for the color of course. I jokingly called it a "Hello Kitty Purse"
