iBook Main | Ports | Support Links | Q&A | Forums
The iBook G4/1.2 14-Inch (Early 2004 - Opaque White), features a 1.2 GHz PowerPC 7447a (G4) processor with a 512k "on chip" level 2 cache, 256 MB of RAM (PC2100 DDR SDRAM), a 60 GB (4200 RPM) Ultra ATA/100 hard drive, a slot-loading DVD-ROM/CD-RW "Combo" drive, 4X AGP ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics with 32 MB of DDR SDRAM, and pre-installed AirPort Extreme (802.11g) and optional Bluetooth 1.1 packed into an opaque white case with a 14.1" TFT XGA active matrix display (1024x768 native resolution).
The second generation iBook G4 models -- dubbed the "Early 2004" series by Apple -- are quite similar to the first revision, but have faster processors with twice the amount of on chip level 2 cache (512k instead of 256k) as well as twice the amount of onboard RAM (256 MB instead of 128 MB). The 14-Inch iBook G4 "Early 2004" models also could be configured with a DVD-R/CD-RW "SuperDrive".
The "Early 2004" iBook G4 models also are similar to one another. The iBook G4/1.2 14-Inch (Early 2004) is quite similar to the iBook G4/1.0 14-Inch (Early 2004) introduced at the same time, but the "1.2" model has a faster processor, a larger hard drive (60 GB instead of 40 GB), and pre-installed AirPort Extreme (802.11g).
