message: Some weeks ago, i added an external link to my website www.iBook-Clamshell.com, which provides the most comprehensive information for the first colored iBook generation on the internet.
It was removed by someone without explanatory statement. 
If someone someday wants to relist the information.......--Waldohreule (talk) 08:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I changed mention of the maximum RAM that an ibook could have - mine has 1.5GHz, as it is the final version that came out mid-2006 with 512GHz pre-installed RAM, and 1GHz SD expansion. --Starseeker shkm 15:23, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Which was the first ibook to have a slot for the airport card? which was the first to be compatible with Airport Extreme? Which was the first to have it built-in?
: As the article states, the original iBook had an airport slot, and was thus the first commercially available laptop with built-in wireless capability. The iBook G4 was the first iBook with an Extreme slot. jamiemcc 22:11, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I have removed a block of text about the iBook G4's lack of microphone jack from the iBook G3 Clamshell section. I'm not sure if it should be merged into the iBook G4 section.
iBook G4s lack a line-in or microphone jack, commonly found on PC Laptops, even though the iBook G4 has internal circuitry for an electric microphone mounted in the display lid of the case. Apple recommends an external USB audio device such as the Griffin iMic, or a different model of laptop (such as the PowerBook) to get an audio input socket. G4 Mac Minis also lacked an audio input jack, but it was introduced to Intel Mac Mini, fixing this problem.

message: On 16 August 2007 02:57, Tony Sidaway removed a lot in the Quality issues section of the iBook lemma. According to his comment, it is cruft, and WP:OR. 
I will not revert his change, because maybe it makes sense. But still I have a bad feeling about this change. 
Calling it cruft, and writing that he had fun with removing it (as he does in his comment), is at least not nice and friendly to wikipedians who try to contribute something. 
Now there is always the risk that some other wikipedian will revert this section. 
If you remove something, do it in a nicer, and better commented manner. I have no time to go into the details now, but when I have time I might come back on this (or not). 
Fact is, that there are severe quality issues with the iBook, and the section looks rather small now, smaller than I consider as realistic.

message: I believe the iBook G4 does have a magnesium chassis. Although not a good source, I read it at http://www2.shopping.com/xPO-Apple-APPLE-M9418LL-A-14-1-iBook . When I remove the battery of my iBook G4, I am able to see part of the chassis. Although I am not sure, I believe it is magnesium.
Yes, it is magnesium. 141.109.108.119 (talk) 03:15, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

message: It is not recommended to do so but has been upgraded to 1.0 GB of RAM.
IMHO the Clamshell iBook RAM is 576MB max (64MB internal+512MB SO-DIMM).
If there is a way to upgrade the internal RAM a reference is needed, otherwise this statementent should be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Waldohreule (talk • contribs) 09:18, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I work for iFixit, and I just added an external link to iFixit's series of repair manuals for the iBook. The repair manuals have hundreds of Creative Commons-licensed, step-by-step repair photos and in-depth troubleshooting information. iFixit is the most respected online resource for Apple troubleshooting and repair, but don't take my word for it. The following article was published on the front page of the LA Times Business section on June 23rd 2010.  iFixit has also received numerous other online reviews from the press and media which can be viewed here: 
I feel that this page is incomplete without a link to the most comprehensive online resource for iBook repair, but I want to make sure to disclose my bias in adding the link. Please remove it if you think it is not useful.

message: Thanks Applist for the effort, but the upperrow in the tables with 'Model (known by Apple as)' and the official modelnames as referred by Apple are essential to identify a Mac to supporting information by Apple. Sometimes other will refer to a Mac with this modelname as well. There are not (I agree) very nice modelnames thosen by Apple but that's just that way it is. 
Here some supportpages by Apple where to see the modelnames:
