iBook G3 12-inch
Announced in May 2001 at a special press event, the iBook G3 White brought the design aesthetic of the PowerBook G4 to the consumer level. The iBook G3 White was much smaller than the Clamshell iBook, its predecessor. It included a faster G3 processor, more RAM, VGA out, stereo speakers, and a higher resolution screen. It also was the first Mac to include a "Combo" DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive in the high-end model.
