  1. Battery life depends on configuration and use.
  2. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
  3. Compatible ISP and telephone services required. Your ISP may not support all V.92 features. Modem will function according to V.90 standards if V.92 services are not available. Actual modem speeds lower; speed depends on connection rate and other factors.
  4. Wireless Internet access requires AirPort Card, AirPort Base Station or AirPort Extreme Base Station, and Internet access (fees may apply). Some ISPs are not currently compatible with AirPort and AirPort Extreme. Range may vary with site conditions.
  5. You need an Apple SuperDrive to burn DVDs in iDVD, but you can save iDVD projects as an archive on iBook G4 models with a Combo Drive and later transfer them to a SuperDrive-equipped system and burn them to a DVD.
  6. Actual rates will vary.
  7. Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
