iBook (Dual USB) by Steve Hildreth There have been several generations of dual-USB (white) iBooks since their introduction in May, 2001. The following is a table to help you sort out their differences: Model Speed (MHz) System Bus (MHz) RAM (MB) Hard Disk (GB) Optical Drive Display Revision C January 2002 iBook/14" 600 100 256 20 DVD/CDRW 14" iBook/Combo 600 100 128 20 DVD/CDRW 12" iBook/CD 500 66 128 15 CD-ROM 12" Revision B October 2001 iBook/Combo 600 100 128 20 CD-ROM 12" iBook/CD-RW 600 100 128 20 CD-ROM 12" iBook/DVD 600 100 128 15 CD-ROM 12" iBook/CD 500 66 64 10 or 20 (BTO) CD-ROM 12" Revision A May 2001 iBook/Combo 500 66 128 10 or 20 (BTO) DVD/CDRW 12" iBook/CD-RW 500 66 128 10 or 20 (BTO) CD-RW 12" iBook/DVD 500 66 128 10 or 20 (BTO) DVD-ROM 12" iBook/CD 500 66 64 10 or 20 (BTO) CD-ROM 12" The dual-USB iBooks are good all-around machines, and there is very little to fault. Exceptions include the paltry amount of RAM included on some early CD models, and the slow 66MHz system bus on first-generation units. As opposed to PowerBooks, iBooks do not have a PC card slot, S-video out, or an IR port. On the other hand, they (at least the 12" versions) are much smaller and lighter than the PowerBook G4.
