Exactly What You're Looking For - Everything
Did you ever think you'd see a full-featured notebook computer that weighed less than six pounds that gave you the power to do so much. After you're finished admiring the stunning display and marveling at its fit and finish, take a good look at the number of ports your PowerBook G4 provides. That's when the realization hits you: not only is this notebook superslim and ultralight, but it also ships with an astonishing lineup of built-in professional capabilities. Therein lies the vast difference between the PowerBook G4 and it PC counterparts: Unlike some manufacturers who ship lightweight PC notebooks that shed pounds by shedding functionality, Apple maintains a thin and light design while adding more functionality.
The World's Most Advanced Operating System
The PowerBook G4 comes loaded with software so easy to use, you'll find yourself accomplishing things you can only dream of doing on a PC notebook, right out of the box. The Mac OS X version 10.3 Panther, Apple's next generation operating system, is at the center of it all. Mac OS X features automatic networking to make getting online a snap: it senses whether you're connecting from the office or on the road, and connects you automatically. And with its Instant On feature, your PowerBook G4 wakes from sleep in less than one second. The ultimate platform for the digital lifestyle, Mac OS X works with today's most popular FireWire, USB and SCSI peripheral devices. Mac OS X is a delight to use, but under that engaging Macintosh interface is a rock-solid, UNIX-based, industrial-strength operating system built on battle-tested technologies that do the heavy lifting on the Internet. And it's programmed to get every last bit of performance out of your software.
iLife
Just as Microsoft Office has the tools you need to create an outline, a budget or a presentation, iLife offers all of the tools you need for your work outside the office. When you're ready to kick back and create something spectacular, there's no better resource than iLife. With GarageBand, iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD you have superb tools in your creative hands. Individually, they're peerless. And as a matched set, iLife has no equal. In addition to iLife, your iBook comes loaded with top-notch software, including Quicken for Mac to make managing your finances a breeze, AppleWorks 6 to keep you productive, World Book Encyclopedia to tell you about practically everything, and Sound Studio for easy digital audio editing. And for those times when you just want to have fun, iBook also includes Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, Deimos Rising, and Mac OS X Chess.
Get The Big Picture
This PowerBook G4 supports five different ways to connect to video: DVI, ADC, VGA, S-video and composite. It supports dual display mode, so you can extend your work area, and video mirroring, so you can display your projects and share your ideas through an external display or projector. You can also display your multimedia projects on a big-screen TV, thanks to S-video and composite output capability. This 15-inch PowerBook G4 sports the new ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 graphics processor with 64MB of DDR SDRAM. Featuring a number of cutting-edge graphics technologies, including programmable pixel and vertex shading for lighting, the Mobility Radeon 9700 dramatically enhances all aspects of your visual experience in every application. And, here's the kicker: if you want still better video performance, you can configure your 1.33GHz PowerBook with up to 128MB of fast DDR SDRAM.
AirPort Extreme
Bluetooth. Wi-Fi. Ethernet. When it comes to communicating, the PowerBook G4 covers all the bases, offering state-of-the-art solutions right out of the box, including built-in Bluetooth, built-in AirPort Extreme, and built-in high-speed Ethernet. Standard on your PowerBook G4, 802.11g AirPort Extreme delivers state-of-the-art wireless performance: a data rate up to 54 megabits per second (Mbps). While the fastest broadband connections typically achieve speeds up to 1.5Mbps, AirPort Extreme lets you share files with others on your network up to 35 times faster. Airport Extreme is WiFi certified for both 802.11g and 802.11b interoperability.
Bluetooth
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 short 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, you 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, which is a lifesaver for those occasions when an 802.11 wireless hot spot isn't available.
