As Smart as It Looks
The sleek exterior is as stunning
as ever. The 15-inch PowerBook G4 comes with all the refinements and esthetic
touches that make it the most coveted full-featured notebook computer on the planet:
elegant aluminum construction, 1.1-inch thin design, slot-loading Combo Drive
and a brilliant illuminated keyboard. On the inside, a faster PowerPC G4 processor,
a standard 5400-rpm 80 GB hard drive, powerful graphics, up to 2 GB of RAM and
Mac OS X -- the world's most advanced operating system -- combine to deliver off-the-charts
performance. Speed-optimized Architecture
Inside the
15-inch PowerBook G4 is a screamingly fast 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4 processor with Velocity
Engine. Advanced processor design and memory architecture are among several core
advantages that enable the PowerBook G4 to pack such a tremendous wallop. Exremely
Fast Wireless
Bluetooth. Wi-Fi. Ethernet. Modem. When it comes to
communication, the PowerBook G4 covers all the bases, offering state-of-the-art
solutions right out of the box, including built-in Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, built-in
AirPort Extreme, built-in high-speed Ethernet and a built-in modem. Built in
to the PowerBook G4, AirPort Extreme delivers state-of-the-art wireless performance,
employing the 802.11g wireless standard. Now you never have to worry about compromised
data rates: AirPort Extreme gives you blazing connectivity speeds up to 54 megabits
per second(1). And with 802.11g and 802.11b interoperability, AirPort Extreme
allows you to connect at the majority of wireless hotspots. Feel
the Burn of 8x SuperDrive
Your PowerBook G4 with SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW)
comes loaded with iDVD software. Use it to burn DVDs that can be played in most
consumer DVD players. Or use iTunes to burn your own CDs, or the Disc Burner feature

| Sizzling
Graphics Processor
The 15-inch PowerBook G4 comes turbocharged with
the new ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 graphics processor with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM. The
Mobility Radeon 9700 features a number of cutting-edge graphics technologies,
including programmable pixel and vertex shading for lighting and shadow effects.
It dramatically enhances all aspects of your visual experience in every application,
perfect for photorealistic 3D games and cinematic-quality video. Fast
FireWire 800 and USB 2.0
The PowerBook G4 features FireWire, for connecting
external hard drives and DV cameras, and USB, for connecting graphics tablets,
digital cameras, printers and scanners. With more than 30 times the bandwidth
of the popular USB 1.0 peripheral standard, FireWire 400 has become the gold standard
for high-speed data transfer. And Apple ups the ante, effectively doubling data
throughput, with FireWire 800. The new 15-inch PowerBook G4 has two FireWire ports
-- one for the hundreds of FireWire 400 peripherals already available and the
other for the coming generation of FireWire 800 peripherals. In addition, the
PowerBook G4 offers the fastest connection to USB peripherals with two 480 Mbps
USB 2.0 ports. |

Built-in
Bluetooth 2.0
Three times faster than Bluetooth 1.x, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
(enhanced data rate) is now built into every new PowerBook model. Like AirPort
Extreme, Bluetooth connects wirelessly to digital devices, including Bluetooth-enabled
mobile phones, handhelds and peripherals. What's more, you can even choose to
enjoy a cable-free desktop with Apple's Bluetooth-enabled wireless keyboard and
mouse. Operating within a 30-foot range, Bluetooth enables wireless data transfers
between a rapidly growing list of Bluetooth-savvy peripherals. Using iSync, for
example, you can use Bluetooth to synchronize your personal information between
your PowerBook, your mobile phone and your Palm OS-based handheld. And your new
PowerBook can use your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone to take advantage of GPRS
or 1xRTT connectivity, so you can check your email from just about anywhere --
a life saver for those occasions when an 802.11 wireless hot spot isn't available.
