“The 12-inch Apple iBook G4 makes up one half of the dynamic iBook duo (the other half is the 14-inch version). Despite its low $999 starting price, this new 12-inch iBook G4 comes with some welcome improvements over the prior generation, including a standard 512MB of memory (expandable to 1.5MB), Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), and longer battery life. While the 12-inch iBook G4 isn’t as fast as the 12-inch PowerBook G4, its combination of features, software, and design comprise some stiff competition for the best Windows-based thin-and-light laptops.” - writes CNET about 12-inch iBook G4 from Apple.
