	AppleInsider - PowerBook G4 Details
		Larger drives are also expected in the PowerBook G4, with capacities up to 20 GB, although standard RAM is said to remain at 64 MB for the low-end model and 128 MB for the higher-end version.
		Gone from the PowerBook G4 is the traditionally dark casing that Apple's PowerBook's have sported ever since the introduction of the PowerBook 100 in 1991.
		The top of the PowerBook, where the "upside down" Apple logo resides continues to be divided into three panels, with the middle being graphite in color and the sides being comprised of transparent plastics akin to Apple's Pro Mouse.

	PowerBook G4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The PowerBook G4 had two different designs: one enclosed in a titanium body with a fl keyboard and a 15" screen; and another in an aluminum body with an aluminum-colored keyboard, in 12", 15" and 17" sizes.
		The PowerBook G4 line was the last generation of the PowerBook, and was phased out in favor of various Intel-powered MacBook Pro models in the first half of 2006.
		The 12" PowerBook G4 was replaced along with the iBook by the 13.3" MacBook on May 16, 2006, ending the whole PowerBook line.

	[No title]
		On the low-end was the tiny (for its time) PowerBook 100, a subnotebook that quickly garnered a cult following among the "small is beautiful" road-warrior set.
		The PowerBook line was fitted with a speedy G3 processor, and it eventually evolved into a sleek, well-loved fl slab with a bronze keyboard.
		But while the 12" and 17" PowerBooks included all the latest interface, processor, and bus improvements, the TiBook was left to languish with "last year's technology." In the face of the even more refined and elegant AlBooks, the TiBook began to look positively dated, an idea that seemed inconceivable a few years earlier.

	Review: Apple PowerBook G4 17-inch
		The PowerBook G4 17-inch is Apple's first attempt at a modern full-size laptop - an entry into a space that has been occupied by laptops such as Dell's Latitude C840, Latitude D800, and Precision M50, IBM's ThinkPad A31p and ThinkPad R40 15-inch, and Sony's VAIO GRV600.
		The PowerBook G4 17-inch is a reasonable choice for departments or individuals who need high-end, desktop-class processing in a portable configuration.
		The PowerBook G4 17-inch is compatible with the Network Applications Installer for Mac OS X version 10.2.x and Penn's supported network applications.

	Review: PowerBook G4 12-inch
		The PowerBook G4 12-inch is compatible with the Network Applications Installer for Mac OS X version 10.2.x and Penn's supported network applications.
		The PowerBook's right- and left-channel speakers are located in the back right and left corners of the base, respectively, while the midrange-enhancing third speaker occupies the back-middle area of the base under the display hinge.
		At well under $2,000 ($1,850 in a University-approved configuration), the PowerBook G4 12-inch is an excellent choice for departments or individuals who must be budget-conscious, yet need a portable with enough processing power and capability to suit their needs.

		This Powerbook is perfect as a desktop replacement for those who have less space available than what a 17" would require.
		The Powerbook comes in an attractive fl box with pictures of the unit in open and closed states on either side.
		These new 15" AlBooks now use the same screen hinge as in the 12 and 17" Powerbooks so all the ports have been moved to the side and the entire back of the machine is taken up by the screen hinge.

		Still, the impressively designed 17-inch PowerBook G4, Apple's premiere desktop replacement, is equipped with a new-and-improved set of specs and features, including a scrolling trackpad, for easier navigation through documents and Web pages, and Sudden Motion Sensor technology to protect the hard drive.
		Designwise, the new iteration isn't much different from the last: The 17-inch PowerBook G4 weighs 6.9 pounds, which is 1 to 3 pounds less than most other 17-inch laptops, and it measures 15.4 inches wide, 10.2 inches deep, and 1.0 inch thick, making it somewhat bigger than an airplane tray table.
		Priced at $2,699 (as of March 2005), the PowerBook G4 is equipped with a solid array of components: the G4 processor runs at 1.67GHz (up from 1.5GHz with the last version) and features a decent ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 graphics processor with dual-link DVI support for connecting to an external monitor.

	Quick Review of 1 GHz PowerBook G4
		I tested the 1 GHz PowerBook G4 introduced by Apple in December, 2002.
		The PowerBook and the two video projectors recognized each other nicely, and I was able to use side by side the LCD screen of the portable and the video projector screen.
		The fan of the PowerBook came on during the testing of the video projectors, but the sound was quiet and almost unnoticeable.

		The PowerBook 140 and 170 were original designs, while the PowerBook 100 had an interesting pedigree: Apple had sent the schematics of the Mac Portable to Sony, who miniaturised the components.
		Apple recovered from the 5300 debacle in 1996 and 1997 by introducing three new PowerBooks: the PowerBook 1400, intended to replace the 5300 as a general-purpose PowerBook; the PowerBook 2400, intended as a slim, sleek sub-notebook to replace the PowerBook Duo; and the luxury model PowerBook 3400.

		The 17” Powerbook is the most loaded of all, with the only options available being a RAM or Hard-drive upgrade.
		As I said, the current Powerbooks are slightly faster and cheaper than my model, and I can't vouch for the current software bundle.
		The Powerbook series is for those who want the best, want a quality product, but also want to be a bit out of the mainstream.

	Macworld: Review: 867MHz 12-inch PowerBook G4
		Effectively bridging the gap between the PowerBook and iBook lines, the new 12-inch PowerBook G4 -- the first Mac to boot only into OS X -- is a remarkably diminutive laptop that packs more of a punch than the iBook but not quite as much power as the Titanium.
		Unlike those of most recent models, this PowerBook's keyboard is not designed to flip up when you want to install RAM or an AirPort card -- likely as a result, the keyboard feels less spongy when typing, and its keys seem to have a larger range of motion.
		The 12-inch PowerBook G4 is not as full-featured as either its massive 17-inch sibling or the Titanium -- nor is it meant to be.

		But the PowerBook is also thin, sleek, shiny, and surprisingly light for its size and construction.
		Keyboard -- The keyboard appears to be identical to the full-size one found on the 12-inch PowerBook, and it is jammed all the way back toward the screen, which leaves a large palm-and-wrist space in front.
		You might think that, given the PowerBook's relatively high processor clock speed and large screen, the length of time you can free yourself from the AC umbilical cord would be rather short.

		With the G4, Apple hopes to lure those in the hip video editing crowd that might otherwise favor one of Sony's purple VAIO laptops as their portable studio.
		Nevertheless, the G4 is thin and relatively light, with an inch-tall case and 5.3-pound weight.
		The G4 packs an industry-standard ATI Rage Mobility video card, but it comes with only 8MB of dedicated video RAM, which is skimpy for serious multimedia professionals.

		Apple is touting this model, equipped with a PowerPC G4 chip, as the first laptop that is capable of supercomputer-class gigaflop speed.
		On the front of the G4, the self-loading DVD-ROM slot noiselessly accepts discs; unfortunately, you can't swap out this drive for any other type of internal drive, and you can't connect drives externally unless you buy relatively cumbersome USB or IEEE 1394 (FireWire) versions.
		The PowerBook G4 could be right for a graphics or video pro.

		The 17-inch PowerBook G4 series isn't terribly configurable; 512MB of RAM comes standard, which should be fine for basic use, but you can upgrade to 2GB (though it'll set you back--whoa!--AU$1290).
		The 17-inch PowerBook G4 whopped the 14-inch iBook in our Unreal Tournament 2004 gaming test; however, if games are your primary interest, you're generally better off with a PC.
