How is the Apple iBook G4 different to the 13" Macbook?

January 8th, 2010 | by admin |

As in quality, specs and everything? The Apple iBook I’ve seen for less than £300 on eBay, but I can hopefully get a discount on the Macbook. Which one should i go for?

Go for the Macbook. It’ll cost more but for the extra money you get a much more advanced laptop. The new ones will have the following advantages:

- 7 hour battery, LED backlit screen, unibody construction (one piece for the base), glass trackpad, multitouch track pad (up to 4 finger gestures), faster processors, more and faster RAM, more hard drive space, runs MacOS Snow Leopard (and newer), non-slip bottom, faster wireless card, Boot Camp lets you install Windows if you want (Virtualbox will let you run Windows inside MacOS)

    The power is actually increased due to a new form of processors.

    If you really need a laptop, then I’d get the MacBook or the MacBook Pro. They will be substantially faster in terms of processing power than the iBook, and capable of being upgraded more in the future.

    With the iBook G4, the highest version of Mac OS X you can ever run is 10.5.8; with the MacBook it should take you through several more versions of Mac OS X, all the way to Mac OS X 10.8 or greater.

    The MacBook is newer and faster, has WAY more RAM. It also has an Intel processor, in place of a PowerPC G4. PowerPC is old world for Apple computers, so get an Intel computer, or most of your apps won’t work. The new Snow Leopard OS is not compatible with PowerPC architecture.
