And because OS X 10.4 Tiger almost always came on DVD, it’s the only clamshell iBook that can install Tiger directly. The iBook Special Edition is the least expensive DVD-equipped laptop in Apple’s line, and it offers nearly the same speed as the 500 MHz Pismo PowerBook G3. Like the original iBook, it has full AirPort support and a battery rated at six hours. Other big changes include a DVD-ROM drive, FireWire, and video output. The G3e includes an on-chip L2 cache that runs at full CPU speed for improved processor efficiency (the larger backside cache in first generation iBooks ran at half of CPU speed). It replaces the 366 MHz G3 processor of the earlier iBook SE with the new G3e running at 466 MHz. The second-generation iBook Special Edition (SE) adds key lime as an alternative to graphite.
