In 1999, Apple introduced its new portable computer called the iBook. It was the iBook G3, which was nicknamed Clamshell due to its unusual design. The iBook G3 was intended for ordinary consumers and was available - similar to the iMac G3 - in a translucent colored plastic version. Steve Jobs introduced the iBook G3 on July 21, 1999 at the then Macworld conference. The iBook G3 was equipped with a PowerPC G3 processor and equipped with a USB and Ethernet port. It also became the first mainstream laptop to boast integrated wireless networking components. The display bezel was equipped with a wireless antenna that connected to an internal wireless card.

The iBook received criticism from certain quarters due to the fact that it was bigger and sturdier than the PowerBook despite the lower specifications, but its truly original design, on the other hand, made it "effective" in a number of films and series. This piece eventually gained quite a bit of popularity among regular users. In 2000, Apple introduced its iBook G3 Special Edition in graphite color, a little later in the same year there was also an iBook with FireWire connectivity and in the colors Indigo, Graphite and Key Lime. Apple abandoned the rounded design for its iBooks in 2001, when it introduced the iBook G3 Snow with a traditional "notebook" look. It was available in white, was 30% lighter than the first-generation iBook G3, and took up less space. It was equipped with an extra USB port and also offered a higher resolution display.
