Everybody is laughing about the handle, but it was actually pretty important. The iBook was cool, it was loud, it was a fashion statement. It quickly became the computer every college student wanted. The handle allowed you to easily carry it around visibly, without a case. And notice how much he pushed the rubber: the handle was also a mark of its durability. You didn't need a heavily padded shoulder bag to protect your big investment. And laptops weighed a lot more back then, so if you were going caseless an easier way to grab it was much appreciated if not absolutely necessary (this one was almost 7 pounds). Incidentally, the iMac had a handle, and so did the original Macintosh. That showed off their all-in-one design and lack of cords; you could hold an entire desktop computer in your hand. Even the G3 Tower from earlier in 1999 had handles!

It's amazing to think that $3000 was a *NORMAL* price to pay for a high-end laptop (a "regular" high-end laptop, not even a "desktop replacement." And $2000 was an acceptable price for a "consumer" laptop. $1599 was a *STEAL* at the time. Now the $1000 MacBook Air is seen as expensive and "luxury" compared to Windows laptops.

@minzy Macbook Pros used to cost around $2000CAD and offered top of the line performance. I still have one from 2008 (first unibody) - still works. The 15" retina I got after (with a few upgrades) when it came out was $2800. This computer still works like new (2.6Ghz quad core i7, 16Gb ram, 512SSD). It's almost 8 years old! Now Apple sells their laptops at $3500 (base price), with glitching touch bar, failing keyboard and overheating board. The failure rate of 2015-2019 MBP models is very high. And considering the price, you get less I/O, smaller battery and specs are not crazy improvement compared to even older models.

Computers nowadays don't make quantum leaps anymore like they used to. The more we go, the longer we're able to keep them as they are. There's isn't so much to wait from the next generation. It won't change our lives overnight. And todays iMacs, at least the 27" ones, are more than enough for pretty much anything we can expect from a computer.

If you viewed the screen and watched a video side-by-side on both of these, the Macbook would be noticeably better. 4MB might have been amazing in '99, but not anymore.
