Thank you very much for your attention. This iBook is of model A1005,
"System Information" application (not the acurate application name, I
translated from Chinese back to English) of Mac OS X told me the
processor is 800MHz, the label on the back of the notebook says it's
produced in 2003. The battery model is A1008. That's all model-related
information I can find.
