Reseller 'leaks' iBook G4 specs

news form ircspy.com

Quote:
A major UK reseller may have inadvertently pre-announced Apple's intention to migrate the iBook consumer notebook line to the G4 processor.
Dabs' latest computer magazine off-the-page sales advert refers to a "iBook G4". The machine is equipped with a

500MHz processor,
60GB hard drive,
256MB of memory,
DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive.

It also sports a 15in display, the ad says.
The price for the machine is £859 ($1408) excluding sales tax.
The iBook currently ships with a G3-class processor, the IBM PowerPC 750FX, in 800MHz and 900MHz versions. It is the only member of Apple computing product line not based on a G4-class CPU or above. Dropping back to 500MHz may seem as a retrograde step. While the G4 is faster than a G3, clock for clock, it's unlikely that a 500MHz G4 will match a 900MHz G3.
