First, let me explain why the iBook is such a grand thing for computer users all across the country and the world. The Macintosh platform was born and continues to thrive on the concept of simplicity.
Apple computers are easy to use, easy to set up, and easy to fix.
The iBook is no exception, but it integrates some features that make it unique. The iBook has no latch. This is really something that portable makers should have figured out how to do long ago. They only get in the way, and can be particularly troublesome for children. This simplicity and superiority in ease of use would take volumes to fully express, so I'll just leave it at that.
