Apple iBook G3 and T2/Linux

The first iBooks where designed for children and students, with a large distinctive shape, translucent clear and colored plastics and where the first mainstream computer ever designed and sold with internal wireless networking.

The next generation iBook G3 debuted as completely redesigned from scratch. The bold colors and the radical form-factor were abandoned for a white and slim-line polycarbonate shell.

Notes

Many Linux developers and users brought iBook back at the time due to superb power management, including suspend to RAM implementation in Linux. Allowing to sleep the machine and instantly continue working anytime, everywhere. Equivalent functionalatiy is still not that stable in the x86-world due to the complexity and defect implementations of the ACPI standard used there.

Despite of the analog modem, the hardware is fully supported by Linux, including open source 3D acceleration by the r100/r200 radeon driver.
