All models include scrolling trackpad capability, AirPort Extreme, Bluetooth 2.0 + Enhanced Data Rates, Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS), two USB 2.0 ports, Mini-DVI-to-VGA or DVI-to-VGA adapter, and 56K modem (v.92).

 

 

Light and Beautiful
Housed in a sleek, lightweight aluminum alloy enclosure and weighing as little as 4.6 pounds, the PowerBook G4 makes the perfect travel companion. But don’t let the good looks fool you: it also packs a powerful punch.

Ready to Scroll
Every PowerBook G4 features a trackpad with customizable scrolling capability. Just drag two fingers over the trackpad to scroll vertically or horizontally, or pan around any active window.

Helps Protect Your Data
In the event of a drop, the PowerBook G4’s Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS) instantly parks the hard drive heads so they won’t scratch the disks on impact, reducing the risk of damage. When the module senses your PowerBook is level, it unlocks the hard drive heads automatically.

The Legendary SuperDrive
The PowerBook G4 offers a slot-loading 8x SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW) that can burn videos to DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. You can also burn your own CDs and DVDs. Or choose a Combo drive model so you can play DVDs and play/burn CDs.

 

Speedy G4 Processors
PowerBook G4 computers all feature PowerPC G4 processors with Velocity Engine that provide robust performance for complex multimedia or data intensive applications. The 15-inch and 17-inch models boast processor speeds of up to 1.67GHz, and the 12-inch model reaches 1.5GHz.

Display Your Work
Standard on the 17-inch PowerBook and optional on the 1.67GHz 15-inch model, 128MB of graphics memory and dual-link DVI functionality support the massive 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display. With the bundled mini-DVI to DVI adapter, even the 12-inch PowerBook with 64MB of graphics memory connects to the 20-inch or 23-inch Cinema Display.

Built-in Wireless
Every configuration of the PowerBook G4 offers two wireless technologies built-in: AirPort Extreme for networking and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR for connecting to peripherals. Based on the 802.11g protocol, AirPort Extreme delivers — at 54Mbps — the fastest wireless connection available. Bluetooth 2.0+EDR replaces physical cables between your computer and peripherals with a wireless connection at 3 times the bandwidth of Bluetooth 1.1.
