"The iBook is our best selling consumer and education notebook ever," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's senior director of Hardware Product Marketing.

The new iBook runs up to 35 percent faster than previous models in CPU performance tests such as encoding a song from an audio CD into an MP3 file using iTunes. iBook also now features a new video-out port that supports VGA output, as well as S-video and composite video with optional adapter. Every iBook includes Apple's award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications, including iTunes 2 for organizing and burning digital music, iMovie 2 for creating digital movies, and iPhoto for organizing and sharing digital photographs.
