iBook G4
Laptops2003Common
The iBook G4 replaced the beloved clamshell with a white polycarbonate design that would define Apple's consumer laptop aesthetic for years. The G4's reliable performance and the white case's café-culture appeal made it the most visible laptop in coffee shops and universities throughout the mid-2000s. It was Apple's best-selling laptop until the MacBook replaced it in 2006.
