The hard drive is probably the weakest component of the iBook, with both models featuring 4200RPM drive speeds. When processing multiple audio streams and audio effects, the extra memory helps to keep the software running smoothly.

This size difference comes in handy when using the iBook in a live performance setting, when youâ€™re not necessarily sitting right in front of the screen, but are looking at it on a stand on the other side of your turntables.īoth models come with 512MB of RAM which you should plan on upgrading to 1GB minimum. The real difference between the two is that everything appears a bit bigger on the 14-inch screen. Both the 12-inch and 14-inch screens have the same maximum resolution, so youâ€™re not getting any more screen real estate with the 14-inch. You wonâ€™t notice much a difference between the two processor speeds, and hard drives on both models are upgradeable, so the real decision you have to make is which size screen is right for you. A more expensive 14-inch model is also available with a 1.44GHz G4 processor and a 60GB hard drive ( Check current price). One model features a 12-inch screen and a 1.33GHz G4 (Power PC) processor and a 40GB hard drive ( Check current price). The current iBook G4 lineup is differentiated by the screen size and processor speed. But the reality is, that in its latest incarnation, the iBook G4 packs plenty of power to run most popular DJ and music applications quite well.
