CNET editors' review
- Reviewed on: 01/27/2006
Though it looks much like the 12-inch model, the 14-inch iBook runs a pound heavier and comes with some higher-end components, including a marginally faster 1.42GHz PowerPC G4 processor, a 60GB hard drive, and a single-layer DVD burner. The 14-inch iBook has many of the same ports and connections as the 15-inch PowerBook, but it lacks such audiovisual connections as DVI and VGA ports and a microphone jack. In addition, the PowerBook's aluminum-alloy case makes it lighter, despite its larger screen size. Spec for spec, the 14-inch iBook isn't quite as good a deal as the 12-inch model, but it still offers a competitive set of components, solid networking and connectivity options, and a terrific software package that includes iLife '05, AppleWorks, Quicken 2005, and the World Book Multimedia Suite.
