Petr Škuta Lapho ebuyela e-Apple, wadweba i-matrix edumile. Uchaze umzamo wokwenza lula nokwenza iphothifoliyo yomkhiqizo icace. Ucezu lokugcina lwephazili kwakuyi-laptop ephathekayo yabantu abaningi ebizwa ngokuthi i-iBook.
USteve Jobs ubuyele enkampanini ekhiqiza konke ongakucabanga: amakhompyutha ezigaba ezahlukahlukene, amaphrinta, amaphilisi (Apple Newton) nabanye. Nokho ngenxa yesimo esingesihle senkampani Imisebenzi yanquma ukunciphisa kakhulu iphothifoliyo yomkhiqizo. Ngokushesha wabonisa abaphathi benkampani i-matrix yezinkambu ezingu-2 x 2. Kumakholomu kwakubhalwe ukuthi Consumer (lifer), Pro futhi emigqeni yedeskithophu, Iyaphatheka (iyaphatheka).
Isigaba ngasinye sabe sesimelelwa ikhompyutha eyodwa. Ideskithophu yabantu abaningi kwakuyi-iMac enemibala, kuyilapho ochwepheshe bathola i-Power Mac. Indima yekhompuyutha ephathekayo yochwepheshe yathathwa yi-PowerBook, futhi ingxenye yokugcina edumile yendida yaba i-iBook enemibalabala.
Ibone ukukhanya kwemini eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule, ngoJulayi 21, 1999 eMacworld Expo eNew York. Umbukiso omangalisayo awuhlanganisi nje kuphela isethulo somshini, kodwa futhi nokuboniswa okuhlekisayo kwamakhono e-Wi-Fi. Lokhu kwakungeyona neze indinganiso kumakhompyutha aphathekayo enzelwe abasebenzisi abajwayelekile, futhi i-Apple yasizakala ngalokhu ngobuchwepheshe nangokumaketha. Ngesikhathi esethula, u-Steve Jobs wajikijela i-iBook evulekile futhi u-Phil Schiller waze wagxumela esiteji esuka phezulu kwekhethini ukuhlonipha umkhankaso we-Apollo 11.
Eminye imingcele yezobuchwepheshe ngokuvamile yayiyi-"Apple". I-iBook ithembele ku-3MHz PowerPC G300 processor, ine-3,2GB HDD, 32MB RAM, ikhadi lemifanekiso le-ATi Rage, i-10/100 Ethernet kanye ne-CD-ROM. Isikrini esiyi-intshi eyishumi nambili sinikeze ukulungiswa kwamaphikseli angu-800 x 600. Ikhompyutha yayinekhibhodi egcwele kanye ne-trackpad.
Indima eyinhloko ukuklama
Ngokuphambene nalokho, yayingenayo i-FireWire, i-video ephumayo noma imakrofoni. Ingena kuphela isipika esisodwa kanye ne-USB eyodwa. Abasebenzisi bekumele bathenge i-AirPort Wi-Fi 802.11b. Izizukulwane zakamuva zagcina zengeze ezinye zezimbobo ezingekho, ikakhulukazi i-video out kanye ne-FireWire.
Nokho, ikhompuyutha yakhangwa ngokuphelele ukwakheka kwayo okusha. I-Apple ikhethe inhlanganisela yamapulasitiki aqinile amhlophe anerabha. Irabha yaqale yanikezwa ngemibala emibili yama-blueberry blue and orange tangerine. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, i-Graphite, i-Indigo ne-Key Lime yengezwe. Wahlabeka umxhwele nayisibambo, esakwenza kwaba nokwenzeka ukuthwala ikhompiyutha njengesikhwama. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-iBook, nesisindo sayo esingu-3 kg, yayiyigalofu phakathi kwamalaptops esigabeni sayo.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
UDan Pražák Yize i-iBook bekungeyona enye yemishini eshibhe kakhulu, ithegi yentengo engu-$1 ibingeyona into evimbelayo, futhi yaba yindathane yokuthengisa. Ngenxa yenhlanganisela yokuklama nokuxhumeka okungenantambo, kufanele ukuqashelwa.
