The Apple iBook G3, is a 12.1 inch TFT active-matrix display Notebook that has 10 GB of hard drive storage, it is powered by a 366 MHz PowerPC 750cx (G3) processor and a 2X AGP ATI Rage Mobility graphics with 8 MB of VRAM. It has quite portable dimensions and weight of 46mm×343mm×295mm and 6.7 lbs (3.04 kg) respectively. This was easily considered cutting edge in terms of portability for its time as personal computers were still finding their feet in the consumer market. It has a 24X CD-ROM for its standard optical drive and a single FireWire “400” port and a new hybrid A/V port that provides composite audio/video out capabilities. The variation of ports and the inclusion of a “high quality” display allowed for Apple to market the iBook as a high end personal device available to the regular consumer.
