  • looks like learing computer for kids or something gay... next generation was better

  • So many lies.... except style.

  • this commercial makes me feel like im on drugs...

  • I would love to see a Macbook like this in 2012 :) There are no more so colorful laptops on the market, except Sony Vaio, but they are only one color :/ Key Lime iBook with i5, 4gb ram and intel 3000 HD. It would be a fuckin' blast!! Apple, make one! I would buy it :)

  • @GamingOverwhelming

    What, that shit is ugly dude.

  • @ccaian1 Are you insane? I like it :)

  • fuck that

    

  • wow i once loved those

  • Pretty cool, but I still don't like Macs.

  • That is the stupidest looking computer i have ever seen even for 1999

  • I remember when I had one of these.

  • nice music

    reminds me of a butterfly

    even though im not a mac person, its still a cool design

  • So much bland designs now. Clean but so bland, i want color.

  • haha when you open it the apple on the outside is upside down xD

  • Thumbs up if you are watching this on a pc

  • @0do0m XD No thumbs up

  • looks like a toilet seat lol

  • lol the apple logo was upside down when the screen was open

  • @andj2009 It's because the logo is meant to be correctly orientated when one carries it by the handle.

  • Although macs are much better now, but i still looks nice. Thumbs up if you agree.

  • Comment removed

  • I bought one of these last week! :D

  • I run a Toshiba laptop with 4GB ram and dual core processor with Windows 7. I always find myself being drawn back to the Power PC Macs because of the fact that they look so good. I very nearly got an iMac G5 when they were brand new. The only thing stopping me was the price (£799). I settled for a basic Windows laptop. It doesn't matter what you use anyway now, because Apple and other PC hardware vendors use the same components in their systems.

  • OMG they wrote"enkel" as in easy in norwegian! (im from notway ;)

  • @GamingBearHD Notway? Wtf. :p

  • FAIL

  • those look fucking sick

  • Thumbs up if you are watching this on a mac

  • @minecraftboy2000 If a hackintosh counts too you will get a thumb ;)

  • @minecraftboy2000

    Linux.

  • @minecraftboy2000 no, 128 people arent on a mac. fuck you all. my penis is big also

  • @minecraftboy2000 I'm watching this on a 2006 macbook xD

  • omgosh i wish Apple have some sort of anniversary edition for these iBooks or something, I LOVE THEM!!!

  • LOL.

  • these laptops are just weird for today`s usage, but if upgraded and used for simple things like watching youtube videos, checking emails and reading the news they are fantastic. the work that goes into one of these laptops to upgrade is crazy, new HDD, new RAM, new wireless adapter, bodywork cleaning and at last system upgrading, it will take a begginer a long time to do this

  • this is so old

    omg

  • if Apple support epic games, I'll buy that.

  • still want one

  • Johnny Ives is a genius

  • @ericblr Jony Ive. Sorry. 

  • i love the sound effects haha

  • Speed.... Not even by 1999 standards.

  • @PerfectSoundRS

    In 1999 it was the 2nd fastest laptop in the world, behind the powerbook.

    do your research before you say stupid things.

  • @PerfectSoundRS it was the ant fastest computer in the world at that time.

  • Lol, looks like a damn toilet XD

  • 'Elegant', huh?

  • LOL.

  • I love the original ibooks except for one thing, and that is the track pads. They feel so odd, I'm too used to multi touch now.

  • The logo being upside down depends when your looking at it. Wen the lid is shut it won't be upside down!

  • Comment removed

  • In those days, Apple products actually looked good.

  • Ugh whats with the other language

  • man, not weird they didnt sell, people thought they were those toy laptops for kids

  • on the movie "The Perfect Man", Hilary Duff used this Apple to post on her blog, it's cute and funny

  • tab 7

  • DAMNN! THAT'S OLD SCHOOL LOL

  • this is enoying thai music .______.

  • sitting on tha toilet.

  • WTF, the apple is upside down. The laptop also looks like a toilet seat.

  • these things still hold...I'm typin this shit with one right now for kicks.

  • Well, Microsoft isn't Microhard, so they don't make the hardware. You can blame hardware on the laptop companies.

  • @Kingddd333 "Microhard" that's hilarious.....xD

  • This would be embarrassing to see at Starbucks

  • @computertechdude1234 seeing someone feel superior to someone else by their laptops in a starbucks is embarassing.

  • AAAAAAAAAAAH, TOO MANY LANGUAGES. ;_;

  • I kinda like them :)

  • I used to have an iBook G4. But it broke :'(

  • HOLY SHIT THEIR EVERYWHERE

  • It's weird how they throw them about but still very good looking machines

  • Love the comments as to how it looked like a childrens toy... the first generation iBook was heavily geared toward education, so its looks along with its versatility and durability all played into its success. To this day, although many are long retired, they're still iconic and sought after.

  • This is probably what you'll end up seeing if you've taken acid in front of your laptop computer... complete with words jumping out at you and a kaleidoscope of iBooks floating around.

  • they should make colorful macbook pros...:D...

  • Really ugly...

  • That is one ugly ass computer.

  • I hate how the apple logo is upside down

  • No wonder they killed this look after this generation.. it was UGLY. looks like a childs toy.

  • Can i still buy these? I mean do they still sell them? And how much does it usually cost?

  • @MrNotaterrorist Lol...

  • The iBook was one of the slickest, sturdiest laptops Apple ever produced. BTW Apple pioneered WIFI for laptops before anyone else on this computer!

  • lol i can stand my laptop up like that too

  • I still have an orange one. I switched out the LCD, so now it has a 1024 pixel screen. These are really cute machines, very different and quite fun. They get online easily and most importantly... girls are attracted to them... get a clue geeks!

  • This ugly shit looked like children's toys.

  • @jackmarshak look at the other laptops in 1999. the iBook is even better than some 2011 laptops. i think you're only jealous... :)

  • @Ziodalcio Like what? Netbooks? But even netbooks today have better processors in what not. They were good for their time, and that's that.

  • they need to remake this

  • it seems like they've always been playing interesting music and throwing around there devices

  • Had one...and i was the first i know to get wireless internet to...an apple airport (ufo) :-)

  • I remember when these came out back in the late 90's. Everything CPU related at that time was all grey/black and plain.

    These laptops had personality portability when there was none.

  • These look like children's toys now because after they came out all the children's electronic toys started looking like them.

  • You guys writing "fail" are hilarious. First of all, you are such trend clones, you are even more so when you use the # in front of it. Bwahahaha. Second, these machines were so much more refreshing at the time than the black "windoze" boring machines that people bought them in droves.

  • Proud to say I own a 1999 iBook G3 Orange Clamshell, with 576 ram. Works well for it's limitations.

  • HEY MOM, CAN YOU GET ME ONE OF THOSE PLASTIC CLAMS FOR CHRISTMAS?

  • "Thats like a baby's toy"

  • Was apple trying to make it look sexy or something? #fail

  • Forget children's toys, they look like toilet seats

  • @RomaZeal It would be awkward to sit on one of those.

  • I dropped mine and it never started up again.

  • 디지몬 어드벤처에서 한솔이 노트북.

  • 0:25 there's a missing key

  • @mrlauts no, it's to take out the keyboard, and put more chips in it

  • @mrlauts those are just spaces between the keys

  • Absolutely hated the ibook, try going to a college session and pulling that embarassing thing out.

  • @imanoob4 i will proudly use that laptop in any place , and would not be embarrased at all even today , these bitches got some series style back then , now aple is al silver boring

  • @rollerfan222 I got a vintage one for my birthday, its fucking ill. i highly suggest (if you're an apple fan) investing in one.

  • haha i wish my toilet seat was that pretty! :P

  • @tcimerol for when the lid is closed

  • APPLE LOGO FAIL :D

  • @blackbird81298 Where did it fail?

  • @love2liveit he probably doesn't know that back in the days Apple was actually doing some cool stuff, and the reversed Apple logo was part of that

  • @blackbird81298

    It's supposed to be like that.

  • @blackbird81298 Right. back then, the logo for was *you* to see, so you'd see it properly before you open and after you close your laptop. It made you feel happy to own what was at the time the world's most powerful and versatile laptop. It didn't matter that the logo was upside down when the laptop was open.

    Nowadays, the logo is made for *everyone else* to see. It glows and shimmers so that it catches the eye of everyone around you, so they can feel envious of your laptop.

  • @blackbird81298 Thats what they used to be like

  • @blackbird81298 For some reason, up until the Aluminum PowerBook G4, Apple thought having the logo the other direction looked good

  • @Jact9 Control + click. I think it'll be fine for Mac OS X.

  • LOVE the upside down apple

  • Probably the ugliest apple product.... a perfect toilet seat

  • No right click,you'll have problems when you run Mac OS X

  • @honam1021 you can hold down the control key

  • Funny that this was ever considered "stylish."

  • I need one.

  • gilla detta om du är svensk och taggar för fest hos mange!

  • REALLY?????????????????????

  • I don't remember this commercial from back in the day. It's now one of my favs. Thanks for posting!

    And it has always bothered me that the Apple is upside-down on these and other pre-G4 notebooks! I think they did it that way so that the apple was facing up when you carried it. I still prefer it the way it is now!

  • I had an Indigo iBook back in the day. Beautiful machines. I wish I still had mine. I would have it framed and mount it on the wall in my office. It truly was a piece of art!

  • the music sounds like gameboy sp

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....ugly....

  • the apple is the wrong way around

    

  • @TylerJamesWinters you birth was the wrong way :O

  • lol @qtel ... telling someone to go kill himself and throwing random insults at him ? saying you own a macbook and saying you got malware on it (you have to have tried to get some) but shitting on it and saying you hate apple ? anyways. I've owned an early 2007 macbook for 4 years now and it still works really well and I've never had malware on it. Only problem's battery life down to 2 hours and a half. I would've spent more on PCs in 4 years had I bought that. I used them before, never again.

  • ...I was using macs before they were even considered "cool". Sheesh.

  • hipsters? seriously....common. I am not that dumb. OF COURSE macs can get malware, every computer gets malware and spyware and the such. The difference between a mac and a windows based computer is that the whole system doesn't go afray because of some malware on the computer. The difference is OS X recognizing it before it's a problem, and windows letting the damage go so far as to needing to replace the entire system...I've been using mac since they had 500kb hd...hipster? Def Not!

  • i love how all of the "microsoft users" feel the need to defend themselves and their lame ass operating systems. While they spend the majority of their time running virus scans and playing malware tag, us Mac users are using our computers in ways pc people dream of! Well, at least these PC people are trying to keep up...keyword TRYING!

  • @mkrudop2011

    And your OS can't get a virus? You are one dumb fuck. Macs are malware pron too. My brother and me own a macbook pro 15 (2010) and we both got malware on it. Any os can get a virus stupid mac user of course dont know shit about computers so why dont you just kill yourself you lame ass MacOSXfag. Plus its not called "PC" Mac bookpros use the same hardware as dell and hp the only difference is the os you stupid shit. You people are the reason why i dont like apple. To many hipsters.

  • Looks like something from Fischer-Price.

  • Little boy: HEY LOOK MOM! I FOUND SHELLS!

  • Comment removed

  • @stogi5959 WINDOWS OS???? HELL NO!

  • @SimHarrison mac osx has a lame library of programs for it,with windows you can run about everything......maybe the looks of snow leopard combined with the versatility of windows 7......

  • @stogi5959 yeah, and the stability and virus protection of windows??

  • @SimHarrison i had my computer for 5 years and it never crashed,and what did run? windows xp,and if you care that you scan every week or so and dont run suspicious programs it could never crash and its not like there havent been reports of macosx crashing,and one time i was in a computer store with an imac on displayand it had the ''you need to restart your computer'' screen.....it was funny...

  • i like the spinning it makes it look like its being hurled out the window where macs belong :)

  • Sigh.. I miss the past when Macs looked interesting, as I type this on a plain Jane white MacBok..

  • If Apple could update those iBooks with the same style, faster processor, and current OS, it would sell like hot cakes.

  • Does anyone else wish that Apple would update this design?

    They could easily make this thinner with modern design processes, and they could use materials like carbon fiber to make it lighter too.

  • @MrBarneyDinosaur

    They should, they could add a lot more features and add new colors. It would be the most colorful Mac laptop in their whole line, since mac is known for white laptops and other companies are starting to add more color options Mac should step in with a redesign of this but keep the assortment of colors on them.

  • omg this takes me back, the lovely 90's. I remember wanting one of these so bad.

  • Are those new

  • OMG! The iBook is gonna make the iPad obsolete!

  • I wanted one of these so bad

  • they should make a macbook classic... that looks like this..

  • i still have a aqua one of these and it connects it my macbook and works perfect

  • Looking at it, it is amazing how thin this thing was, even in this day and age. But the big selling point, the amazing CARRYING HANDLE!!!

  • Looks like a computer you'd give to a kindergartner to play spelling games on.

  • Comment removed

  • @jezerstrecht apparently they did that so when you carry it, it would be right side up

  • 6 people's favourite colour is beige

  • when they said Imac to go they didn't fuck around

  • They look like children's toys.

  • @MASTERCON12 That''s kinda who they were intended for at first.

  • @MASTERCON12 Macs are childrens toys.

  • @MASTERCON12 essentially they are

  • they look like shells

  • they got the logo upside down

  • fuking ugly

  • "I'll have an iMac to go, please."

  • Ugly, but better looking than anything out at that time I guess

  • Death to conventional thinking!

  • I thought that was japanese fake crap, but is accualy an apple product.. lol

  • One of Apple's Ugliest designs and yes I own a Mac

  • apple needs to bring back the colors

  • If apple still made these i would actually buy just to run windows on it. But it would probably just crash.

  • Admit it Microsoft, you may be the biggest, but Apple's got style...

  • @setta91 Microsoft dousn't make computers, just to let u know

  • @setta91 yah but they are nowhere near microsoft and google :)
