  1. Wireless Internet access requires AirPort Extreme Card, AirPort Extreme Base Station or Airport Express Base Station and Internet access (fees may apply). Some ISPs are not currently compatible with AirPort. Range may vary with site conditions. Achieving data rates up to 54Mbps requires that all users have an AirPort Extreme Card and connect to an AirPort Extreme Base Station. Wireless printing over USB requires Mac OS X v10.2.7 or later and a compatible printer.
  2. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
  3. Requires adapter, sold separately.
  4. Compatible ISP and telephone services required. Your ISP may not support all V.92 features. Modem will function according to V.90 standards if V.92 services are not available. Actual modem speeds lower; speed depends on connection rate and other factors.
  5. Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
  6. Burning DVDs in iDVD requires an Apple SuperDrive, but iDVD projects can be saved as an archive on eMac models with a Combo drive and later transferred to a SuperDrive-equipped system and burned to a DVD.
