Apple iBook G4 (1.33GHz, 512MB, 12.1-inch TFT) Preview - Laptops
Comments:
Now with 512MB of RAM, Apple's baseline 12.1-inch iBook G4 offers competitive specs, along with all the ports and connections basic users need and a terrific software package.
Review Verdict: Sound quality is passable but not outstanding. Music from the Versa 200 can sound rather tinny and harsh. But at the end of the day it is compactness and portability that the Astone Versa 200 wants to be known for, and in that regard it delivers admirably
