One of the rumors sites said to expect speed bumped G3 iBooks and it will supposedly be as slimmer than current iBooks but it will mark the return of two features from the original iBooks.
The first is the return of the multiple color schemes. I don't put much stock in this rumor but you never know what Apple is doing The second rumor is the return of a carrying handle that can also be propped up in the back to provide tilt to the machine and improve airlfow underneath the laptop. Supposedly, there will be the introduction of air vents on the bottom so that the iBook can remain cool. There doesn't appear to be a change to switch G4 processor as there is still some life left in the G3 series. It wouldn't make sense to cannibalize 12" G4 PB sales if the iBook also had a G4 processor as well. Besides, the G3 iBook will always run cooler than the G4 12" AlBook. This will hopefuly translate to even longer battery life. > Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2003 10:42:40 -0500 > From: Kent Wieland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: new ibooks soon? > Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Has anyone heard a date for revised Ibooks?
