Three years after the popular Titanium PowerBook debuted, Apple's new 15-inch PowerBook G4 improves on the original in nearly all areas except battery life.
Like the Titanium PowerBook before it, the 15-inch PowerBook hits a sweet spot in size.
Apple packs in a ton of features--more than some desktop Macs, if you consider its PC Card expansion slot.
The 1.
The new 15-inch PowerBook lasted little more than a disappointing two hours in our DVD battery test--about 20 minutes less than the older 1GHz 15-inch PowerBook, which had a 61WHr battery (compared to the new system's 46WHr battery).
Apple's warranty is a fairly standard one year for parts and labor, but the free telephone support lasts only a disappointing 90 days.
