Apple Computer Wednesday continued its "year of the notebook" mantra with an update to its most popular mobile consumer model, the iBook.
The Cupertino, Calif.-based computer maker said it is now equipping its 12-inch and two 14-inch models with its PowerPC G4 processors running 800 MHz, 933 MHz and 1.0 GHz respectively.

Apple's long-time partner, Motorola , manufactures both the G3 and G4.
