Apple Special Event 2001: Steve Jobs introduces the iBook G3 

This whas my dream laptop when i whas a kid, i loved this design and the first time i watched this keynote, i whas blown away! I wanted one so bad, that i made a exact replica, completely out of cardboard and paper, and it set on my desk, next to my macintosh classic, everyday i would look at my paper replica and told myself: one day i will have this laptop, and now i do, a fully specced out 900mhz model, in great condition as well! Even today i think its the most beautiful laptop ever made, even to this day, i like the 4:3 aspect ratio, so nice to type text on this machine! But my iBook G3 has a black keyboard with bronze media keys and arrow keys! Everybody who sees my iBook think i did a great job by modifying that keyboard.

Crazy how this machine really set the design language for just about every Apple notebook going forward to this day (until the MBA). I was proud to own one of these back in the day. The ability to burn cds and connect to the internet wirelessly was mind-blowing. I fondly remember making songs in garageband, making movies, and of course burning countless terrible mix cds (thanks Limewire) on this little machine. Say what you will about Apple, but they pushed the boundaries of bringing creative computing to the consumer. They enabled millions of people to pursue creative endeavors not financially or educationally accessible before.

Watching this on an iPhone 7!!! Man how far we have come!! I remember the middle school my sister worked at in around 2002, had all iMacs and iBooks. That was my first introduction to Mac OS 10!!!!! I remember just looking at iTunes and burning cd’s!!! Wow I actually do miss those days and just excited to make my playlist and listening on my CD Player!!! I didn’t get an iPod until the 5th gen in 2005 so I remember what it was like before the iPod!!! I got my first portable CD player in 2001 since they didn’t trust me with an iPod and they were right as I lost a couple of my CD players but man was I careful when I got my 5th gen!!!!!

You can tell Steve was unhappy when he was asked if it had a fan.

thanks for the video !!!!!!!!!

@1:00 Probably long before this event, Steve Jobs surely realized the importance of CD burning (as he was quick to add that in the 2nd update of the newly released OS X) and the positive effect it would have, on the success of a device like iPod, which he introduced later that year.

I remember

Did it come standard with Garageband? And what year iMovie would this be considered?

You see how technology has changed so much

14:25 Steve knew….

Poor camera edits

The only thing i dont like is that Africa music. It's make my bad. Bt iBook wow!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!

Its not g3, its g4

I bought a G3 new, hated it, very limited in what it could for me personally. I have since bought used a G4 a couple of years ago to mess around. Let's be honest these where more toys that computers and still pretty much are.

2001: built-in, no, no. 2024: no, built-in, built-in.
