Apple iBOOK? or a powerbook?

[brontobyte.1024]

though i dont really know abt bluetooth, but i guess its the same as Firewire.
make a google search for bluetooth.

i think i know it, but i am not sure abt it. Bluetooth helps you transfer pics etc from your cellphone to your iBook.

yeah, i got the answers.
see the links here below, though not exhaustive, but yes they tell u a few things.

Re: Bluetooth and FireWire

Think of Bluetooth as a replacement for USB. Short-range wireless, slow speed. Mostly for mouse/keyboard/palm/celphone connections.

FireWire is like SCSI/SATA/IDE, but self-configuring so you don't have to mess with jumpers to set IDs or master/slave or anything. FW400 is 400 Mbps, in practice a little faster than USB 2.0 if you're using an external hard drive. FW800 is supposed to be 2x as fast, but there aren't any drives that can run at that full speed.

Hey dj,
i am finally getting the GO for the iBook, pretty much convinced by your added clarifications that I need an iBook only and not a powerbook, atleast at this stage. Who knows abt the future.

As I said earlier, from the extras point of view, I am going for these:
1. an extra slot of 256 RAM
2. A Bluetooth.

but i dont know if the bluetooth is worth the expenditure.

I have a cellfone to be used with it, and a few friends who have iPods.
I have a memory stick which is connected via a USB Port.

so, i dont really know if i am takin the right kinda decision.

I am buying the iBook from Dubai.
Any idea about this place??
Is it a better place, if I have an option to get it from there?
Any comments??

I bought the small iBook for my wife to use in school. Added the wireless card, bumped it up to 640MB of memory, and it is *still* a dog. My old desktop system is a generic AMD 1500 box. It is *worlds* ahead of the iBook.

If I were to buy another apple (I'm not a big apple fan, but my wife is), I wouldn't even glance in the direction of the iBook... but that's just me.

Hey man (atkinsr), i have done a big time research on iBooks and powerbooks, though i still guess there r many things which i might not be knowing, but out of soooooooo many people who own an iBook, there were only 15% people who were unhappy with their Apple Inc. products.

Anyways, thats what u have experienced, and I do acknowledge it.

Following are the configurations:

14" iBook.
PowerPC G4 Processor.
1.33 GHz speed.
60 GB Hard Disk space.
768 MB SDR DDR RAM. (one of 256 MB and the other of 512 MB).
Key-note.
Bluetooth.
2 years Apple Care Protection Plan. (additional warranty).

Thats it I guess.

But I must say, its just an awesome piece !!

I am simply enjoying every bit of it.
