New iBooks from Apple add speed and WiFi
Apple's iBook line of laptops has been tweaked, just as per yesterday's rumors, adding faster processors and Airport Extreme wireless up and down the line. The new line, still based on G4 processors (what, you thought they were going to be G5s?), start at $1000 for a 1.2Ghz model with Combo Drive and run up to $1500 for a 1.33Ghz model with SuperDrive. All have Airport Extreme 802.11g wireless built in now and come with the iLife application suite.
Other new features include an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics card with 32MB of DDR memory and AGP 4X support, VGA
video out, FireWire 400, USB 2.0, a built-in 56K v.92 modem and fast Ethernet. Bluetooth remains optional. Go get 'em,
they're available now!
