Product description from manufacturer
Whether you use a Mac, Windows, or UNIX system, your search for the world's best high-performance thin and light notebook computer is over. The PowerBook G4 easily runs everything from Microsoft Office to Final Cut Pro and Adobe Photoshop. It also connects to just about anything, from wireless networks to digital cameras and the stunning Apple Cinema Display. Truly a study in contrasts, the PowerBook G4 gives you a gorgeous wide screen and up to 5 hours of battery life in an unrivaled 1-inch-thin titanium design that weighs as little as 5.4 pounds. With a PowerPC G4 processor with Velocity Engine for an extra performance boost - the PowerBook G4 is a truly powerful and portable computer. For superior performance in graphic design work, DVD movie playback, and 3D gaming, the PowerBook G4 features the ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 graphics processor with up to 64MB of DDR SDRAM. Complementing this performance platform is Mac OS X - a super modern operating system that combines the power and stability of UNIX with the elegance of Macintosh. Such incredible power deserves equally impressive display capabilities. The PowerBook G4 features a wide screen with high resolution, which gives you the largest workspace, best color saturation, and widest viewing angle ever in a PowerBook. If you need to increase your workspace even more or deliver a presentation, the PowerBook G4 features DVI, VGA, S-video, and composite output options for connectivity to flat-panel displays, CRTs, TVs, and projectors. And for the first time ever, you can have the ultimate pure digital experience and even more workspace by connecting your PowerBook to an Apple flat-panel display. When it comes to networking, the PowerBook G4 has you covered. With an AirPort card, you're ready to connect to a wireless network at work, at home, or in a cafe. If you're looking for a high-speed connection via Ethernet, DSL, or cable modem, just plug into the Gigabit Ethernet port. Of course, there's a built-in 56K modem as well. You can also use Bluetooth wireless technology to link Bluetooth-enabled PDAs, cell phones, and other peripherals to your PowerBook G4. It provides multiple ways for you to express your creativity. With the slot-loading combo drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW) or SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW), you can burn CDs, burn DVDs, watch DVD movies, or listen to music CDs. FireWire, USB, and audio ports provide connectivity to devices like iPod, DV cameras, and external microphones to help you make movies, download digital photos, or even compose your own music.
