[TheAngryAppleNerd]

windows: and it has a handle crowed: bbbboooooo

apple: and the best bit it has a handle crowed: OMG !!!!!!

[TheKindredAutmn]

i wonder what the next generations would think when they see today's laptops. They would be like " i7 processor the fuck and why is this thing so big?"

[luislolxd]

@TheKindredAutmn and that's the people say now.. imagine 12 years later, imagine the technology of apple on that year!!!! and imagine what we say about that and compare with the tech of now!

[The40nontyy3]

the best computer in 1999

[benzlzhang]

I Book has a handle? I didn't know that until today 13 years later.

Design and detail, Steve the genius always surprises.

[GabKoost]

Handles!!!!! What computers should always have. Cause it's whats make them great! 1599$ for an Handle!

[vajksziget7a]

@GabKoost More like 1599 USD for a hell of a fast processor (at the time) And a beautiful display (again for 1999) And a great design.

[diegodaudt]

300MHz processor? Bitch please...

[rejectzombie]

why dont they still have the cable wrap?

[jillj333]

I wonder why they moved from no latch to having a latch around 2005ish...Those stupid latches never worked for long.

[Randomguy578]

i like the power circle

[Randomguy578]

this explains their naming 

[AlexFoeShizzle]

I was born a few months before dis hehe :)

[juplm4000]

Yet the iBook G4 has a latch.

[nhking4]

although nice it can;t help but look tacky

[K1llerEel]

its really butyful

[macosxguy99]

I like the key-lime one the best

[reiqws]

it has a handle!!!!!!!!

[1551clamshell]

yes i loved it and i have an orange ibook

[macosxguy99]

@1551clamshell The key-lime is my favorite one

[1551clamshell]

@macosxguy99 mine too but they r kina pricey

[MixtapeWeekly]

did anyone else actually really like the orange on the ibook?

[DrDeso1]

and nothing has changed since

[EEVOL]

HOLY FUCKIN SHIT ITS GOT HANDLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kbrinks]

I was never a fan of Apple products until they went to the simple aluminum styling.

[PhantomMidnight]

He's says "really beautiful" so much! ^^ It's cute!

[TheLosta25]

Steve Jobs : "300 Mhz G3 Processor, is really fast"

Let's compare to today Macbook...

[iphone3gtutsntweaks]

@TheLosta25 shut up you fanboy, this was made in 1999... 'lets compare that to today's Macbook'? Wtf?

[MrHonwe]

@iphone3gtutsntweaks If you compare them,you will be surprised. Seriously.

[iphone3gtutsntweaks]

@MrHonwe They're world apart, seriously. I own both, I dont use the clamshell anymore, I just keep it as a collector's item, my MBP is 100x faster than the G3

[TheLosta25]

@iphone3gtutsntweaks : No, I mean let's compare the statement

[Cryswhatever]

I'll give the ibook a handle, bitches love handles.

[AlexFoeShizzle]

Oh ya and     if ur on a pc that's an apple logo heheheh I looovveee aapppllleeeee

[AlexFoeShizzle]

I was born like 3 weeks before this :)

[Eneru89]

Once upon time, people had a lot of immagination. Today i will never buy such baby thing

[K1llerEel]

its really butyful

[shnunk1]

BRING THIS BACK!

[KubikCv]

Back to the future in geek way :D

[TRUXTONFTW]

did he say iMac at 8:05 ... oh well no big deal lol

[MrGarryMurphy96]



[dnyank1]

@veivo Steve jobs is dead, dude. It's so sad.

[iprankify]

@dnyank1 Why the hell would you bring that up

[jonlinks12]

we need the yoyo charger NOW!

[bmehilos]

@jonlinks12 Yeah what the hell why did they ever stop making them? Seems like a step backwards.

[Tenkuuken]

@bmehilos must be because of the "green" standards they're trying to put companies through, hence why Apple is using aluminum for recycling purposes

[jasper561996]

I want one Lol

[veivo]

In 5 years we will all be watching Steve Jobs releasing MacBook Pros, iMacs, and MacBook Air's from this year and laugh at the specs and design compared to what we have then. It really shows how fast technology is advancing. :)

[chadvader93]

4MB video memory, 0,3 GhZ Processor - good old times

[hmourad19]

It's cool, but they could had easily called it MacBook in the first place 1:08

[sparkster7744]

"It's really beautiful"

[apknugget17]

it has a handle!?! what!!!!

[resto4life]

a FULL 800 by 600 res

[pwkn0]

With a whopping 300 MHz processor. It's amazing to see how quickly technology advances.

[TheSantiayo]

3.2 gb of hard drive... my macbook has a 1000 gb hard drive... is so cool to see how stuff gets better... is so sad that we can't see this type of videos anymore!

RIP STEVE

[Flandersned08]

He believed in design so much. :) RIP Steve

[MarcosBusologo]

Steve Jobs is repairing a person iCloud

[MrFigmentofi]

APPLE Y U NO HAVE COLOR OPTIONS ANYMORE?

[showepisodes]

it's sad that my new PC laptop is thicker than that mac from 1999

[MXVWMatt]

I really miss these old product names. MacBook and MacBook Pro simply don't have the same ring to their names that PowerBook and iBook did.

[thestevo893dude]

I liked the part where he said "really beautiful" 

[andyhmltn]

Anyone notice the rocket at 2:29 is now used as the launchpad icon?

[avalover5498]

It has a handle... *ahhhhhh!* I love it. :D

[andyhmltn]

@avalover5498 nothing like having a handle on your laptop ;) aha

[KantisV]

So where are these amazing features now? Where is the handle, the rubber, the color choice, the beautiful and original design? I want to buy a product like the iBook presented here, but it simply is not possible anymore.

[jwhite8789]

I wish I had one of these. I absolutely love the design.

[little123456788]

looks like a colorful george foreman grill

[AwesomeAwkwardArnel]

Handle 

[NightfurMusic]

I like how they have gone back to the latch-less feature on the 2011 mac book pros

[mickyd110011]

remember when pocket ship processors were 300 mhz? pepperidge farm remembers.

[hsu912174]

800*600......... And people were getting so excited. Good old days.

[imjustrandom2698]

i like tis one better then te newer ones!

[Milesprower1100]

Poly carbonate? Ok ill give him a point for durability

[Milesprower1100]

I like the studio where they introduce new products

[danepstein138]

the handle! the charger! so many cool design details!

[fionapyl]

i love the handle

[MrLolfreak21196]

handles FTW!

[krazykap0]

300 mhz

4mb video card

CD drive

32mb ram

3.2gb hdd

52kb dial-up modem

oh dude ten years ago that was the fastest portable in the world..... just amazing!

[koronaa]

apple always use gay colors.. like the smart covers

[madeinhawaii]

@koronaa how are colors gay... maybe the designers but colors?

[darefarrugia]

I always hated that the Apple logos were upside down. I had a bondi blue one. <3

[Green110697]

Glad they started changing the design, all these plastic computers looked like toys.

[highguyontour]

why cant you buy this anymore???id buy it

[highguyontour]

the handle is an amazing idea

[jbarker98420]

Wow I want one lol

[madgreenb]

2:13 lawlz i have 4 GIGS ohhh technology..

[ntt688]

He wanted the best specs, the best design, so he could then flaunt it at these events, and to assure people they were getting the very best, and also to be able to mock his competitors a bit.

[SebaZerega]

Just a genius can do this.

[mrsupervideoman1]

Now we have iBooks ON our iPads and iPhones

[boomguy12345]

R.I.P. Steve Jobs

We will miss you dearly.

[iPhoneAppReviewer]

I remember seeing this when I was 10. I saved up all my money and begged my mom to drive me to microcenter to buy this laptop. When I got it I just couldn't believe how awesome it was, playing games like bugdom, nanosaur and cromag, using AppleWorks for schoolwork, putting all my music into my iTunes library, etc. It was a solid piece of hardware and It still runs like the day I purchased it, of course I don't use it anymore haha.

[likhitcool]

R. I. P. STEVE JOBS...... you give me a great inspiration.... to do something better, he is enistein of these world of technology, a great persnolity.... love you very much, steve....

[pejeno]

The way he presented it makes me want to buy one of these today (2011)

[edau30]

@pejeno agree

[Alexlfm]

@pejeno I personally really like the look of those older devices. Sometimes I feel that the macs of today are almost a little too sterile and industrial. Plus it has a handle and is airport "ready"!

[jufrvili]

I had not noticed that the computer izzy of (digimon 1) for my iBook is one of the best

[Link6155]

RIP Steve Jobs. Even though I'm not an apple fan, Steve had inspire us all and taught us that one person can make a big difference in the world.

[sagalesage]

I'm watching my mac book and wonder: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE HANDLE????

[minecraftrocksful]

thx steve you wil be missed :(

[minecraftrocksful]

hello 240p.. we met again :)

[lyzeofkiel508]

R.I.P. Steve Jobs

[TheSkaterof1995]

Thumbs up if your watching this in memory of steve jobs<3



[upthedeise09]

its hard to imagine life without steve

[samiqab]

"It has a handle!" 

[Captainskier]

I wanted one of these SOO BAD back in the day. I am thoroughly happy with my Macbook Pro though.

[3essi]

Argentine people woke up sad this morning

I have seen tears in the eyes of my little sister when I told her that the man who invented the iPad has died

Has increased in tears when I told her his story

My mother said: Steve Jobs went and went with him half creativity

My uncle said:

I hated America because of George Bush, and I loved because of Steve Jobs

I say:

Jobs died and his mind still work

[jhall024]

@3essi Don't feel bad, Americans hate George Bush too

[PenaltyKillah]

A laptop that looks like a grilled cheese maker. And only he can say "it has a handle!" and leave the audience gasping for more. R.I.P. Steve, thank you.

Btw if anyone is no longer using an original iBook... I'm looking for one =)

[Ebrainiac1]

Ah, the era of serif fonts and translucent plastic.

[heyheyitsclay]

7:50

I wish the chargers still looked like that! That's awesome!

[incredibly05]

Bye steve, we will all miss you. <3 R.I.P

[Ceielo]

Thank you, Steve. R.I.P.

[LVN1FEVR]

Start up bong won't be the same without ya!!!!!!

[aidenbordner]

I was in this room twelve years ago, in the back of the hall. His presence was pretty huge even from there. We'll miss you, Steve.

[JaAEspinozA]

R.I.P. Steve Jobs

[mavalos88]

That thing has more battery life than my recently bought HP :P

[beatlesq8]

</3 RIP

[piercejustin0]

rip steve jobs

[C1TeamMidNight]

Looks like a toy lol

[Maalexandramv]

nooooooo seriusly i cant believe it :((((( RIP Steve Jobss :'''''''''(

[LaReinaMex318]

"It has a handle." ::GASP:: HOLY SHIT.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs <3

[halomammy]

It has a handle......R.I.P. you legend

[makita9227c]

R.I.P. Steve Jobs...

[man7889]

Wow 3.2 gb hdd that's........small

[RobertoMusicTV]

he had nicer boobs =(

[techyknowsbest]

and in the suggested box 5 years later " iMac G5"

[diegorojas]

NOT BAD 6 hours batt life :)

[pjv0001]

From this to my 2011 Macbook Pro. Technology is amazing, apple aint bad either! lol

[IMaDEM0N]

LOL, "a FULL 800x600 Display!!!"

[TechNick1]

I actually like this better than the current modern MacBooks. Having the rubber on it makes it feel more personal, like you don't have to guard it with your life. These new aluminum and glass MacBooks, while powerful, feel cold and delicate.

[elevatorman138]

3.2gb hard drive. Wow that less than my ram!

[AwesomeAwkwardArnel]

"one of the most incredible... it has a handle"

I love that part.

[brainslay3r]

Oh my god, these people are crazy: "iBook is the name of this product." *roar from crowd*

[drummer6374]

and now we have ipad

[bmccarville]

what happened to handles and cable wraps?

[TheWaveringRadiant]

@FireVell it's Apple not Macintosh lol

[crazygirl123803]

@TheWaveringRadiant you're wrong

[penguin10291]

It has a handle !!

[crazygirl123803]

i can't believe that they all clapped when he said it had a 3.2 gb hard drive

[deeindeein]

@crazygirl123803 1999

[serb619]

That is ugly as hell.

[DrDeeblo]

Holy crap 3.2 gigabytes thats like 1 tenth of my ipod

[Zero2562130]

Apple sucks with computers.

[itdontwork2112]

hahaha he says iMac instead of iBook at 8:07

[mostwanted625]

iPhone EDGE is faster than this iBook..LOL

[nukeshockhybrid]

my computer is a 9.7ghz speed

[SkepsisUK]

@nukeshockhybrid no it's really not.

[nukeshockhybrid]

@SkepsisUK haha yeah its a joke mine only goes 2.4ghz hahaha ;)

[R3AN1MAT10N]

@nukeshockhybrid Never. Worlds record in overclocking is 8,4 GHz.

[nukeshockhybrid]

@R3AN1MAT10N lol computerSSSSSSSSSSS i missed the s , i got 2 and they are at 5.8ghz and 3.9 ghz 1 i7 pc self built , with 32gb ram kingston, 4 hard drives 2 terra bytes each ( 8tb) plus 2, 256gb flash memory , motherboard forgot name but support sli cross over so using 1 sti radeon 6990 with 6870 and the other is using nehalem processor 12 core mac-pro

[R3AN1MAT10N]

@nukeshockhybrid Okay it's fast.^^ But you can't do 5.8G GHz + 3.9 GHz = 9.7 Ghz. Thats not how it works. ;)

[stinger720]

@nukeshockhybrid Well aren't you special.

[wesleyc38]

wow the iPhone 4 is so much faster than the iBook lol!

[BizzMarki]

It looks like a children's toy lol...

[hotboi1520]

He should've called it iClam. Thats logical! lol

[kockgunner]

I remember they had pamphlet about these in elementary hahaha as if a 5th grader could afford one! These were exciting times. Computers haven't advanced as far as today so this laptop seemed like it leapfrogged past everything else. Nowadays, all these features are taken for granted :)

[Ulivali13]

He used to be more humble back then

[kaielement]

3.6gb Hard Drive LMAO.....

[TheStuartWallace]

D; Upgrade them and bring them back!

[pythagoras2010]

thats one fugly laptop,, but OMG 6 hours of battery life in 1999 

[raphaelddb]

i want this computeeeeer, the coolest apple computer, apple should re-realease this mac but faster , thinner and with more space, i would buy it FOR SURE!!!

[theurge14]

Notice how fast he used to talk in these keynotes?

[ubrsmcdm]

Fastest graphics ever in a portable (4MB video memory)

hooooooboy I miss these times

[UncleKornicob]

Aww, CRUD! I wish my macbook pro cam in blueberry and had a handle!

[AwesomeAwkwardArnel]

Think if Apple brought back the Handle. People today would go nuts for it!
