 The Apple Macintosh computer - price and description
|
|
The Apple iBook "900"
(14-Inch) features a 900 MHz PowerPC 750fx (G3) processor
with a 512k on-chip level 2 cache, 256 MB of RAM, a 40.0 GB
Ultra-ATA hard drive, an 8X/24X/10X/24X DVD/CD-RW Combo
drive, and a 2X-AGP ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics card
with 32 MB of DDR video memory in an ultrasleek case with a
14.1" TFT XGA active-matrix display. The Apple iBook "900"
(14-Inch) is similar to the earlier iBook
"800" (14-Inch),
and shares the same case, bus, "AirPort" wireless
networking, FireWire, AV, dual USB, RGB output, S-Video
output, microphone, and stereo speakers, but has a faster
processor as the name difference implies. This series is
enough like the previous series that Apple didn't issue a
new press release.
