Apple iBook (12-inch) review
Pcmagazine have a review of the latest Apple iBook – the 12 inch variety.
‘The latest Apple iBook (12-inch) may look the same on the outside, but some significant changes inside make it all the more impressive. Upgrades like a processor bump, added hard drive space, and more memory, along with several features passed down from the PowerBook—like a scroll touchpad and hard drive protection—greatly boost the Apple iBook’s value, especially considering that the price remains the same low $999.
Though widescreen displays and special transflective screens are becoming the norm in consumer notebooks, Apple sticks to its guns by retaining a 1,024-by-768 antiglare display. A DVD of Titanic that we viewed looked a bit lackluster, even with the brightness turned all the way up, but working on documents in iWork ‘05 felt fine. We tried out the iWork ‘05 suite (30-day trial), using Pages and Keynote 2, which were intuitive but not as robust as Office 12. The newly added scroll touchpad is handy for scrolling through long documents and Web pages, especially since your screen real estate is only 12 inches. ‘
