Product Description: Apple PowerBook G4 17"

And that’s when the realization hits you: these models may be superslim and ultralight, but they also happen to be full-featured notebooks with an astonishing lineup of built-in...

    Strong Lust Factor

    By Tim  Jan 20, 2003 | 18 out of 19 found this Apple PowerBook G4 17" review helpful

    The new Powerbooks have it--the others dont. Period. The 17 ALBook, (called ALBook because its made out of Aircraft Aluminum, a leftover nickname from from the Powerbooks made out of Titainium, called TiBooks, the model the ALBooks will replace) have... so many features they others dont think about. A light sensor in the machine that when ambeient light dims, the keyboard lights up from fiber optic light strands, that gives the machine, and keyboard, a true backlit effect. A Rock Solid UNIX Based OS, FREE multimedia software--iPhoto, iMovie, and iTunes. They are part of the iApps Like iCal (calendar) and iSync (contacts and such) that are made for the Macintosh, the Killer apps for the new digital hubs we all seem to have. (most of the iApps are free, burning DVD movies will cost $49, but they all come in the package) The new Powerbooks also have built in Bluetooth support. Bluetooth enables high speed wireless data transfers to a cell phone or a PDA. Speaking of wireless, the new Powerbooks have the next generation in wireless networking, 802.11g, called Airport Extreme, which allows speeds up to 54Mbps. The price is a little steep, I will admit, but the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. Read more Less

    Apples Latest and Greatest

    By Andrew  Feb 22, 2003 | 10 out of 12 found this Apple PowerBook G4 17" review helpful

    This laptop is the king of all. The first feature that strikes you is the 17 inch screen, the largest laptop screen in the world. It has a super-fast 1 GHz G4 processor and CD and DVD read and write capabilities. How many laptops can boast that? It a...lso has a huge 60 GB hard drive and lots and lots of ports, some brand new (Fire Wire 800). It also has a less spongy, backlit keyboard. And to top it all off is Mac OS X Jaguar a super stable, very easy to use operating system. This laptop has great capabilities, like its predecessors, but this PowerBook will really shine.

    Apple PowerBook G4 (17-inch)

    This PowerBook's 17-inch-wide screen makes movies look tantalizing.With an eye-catching anodized aluminum case and its unusual dimensions, Apple's largest PowerBook G4 oozes cool. But this Macintosh desktop replacement is also packed with standard features that appear only as options--or are unavailable--on its 12-inch- and 15-inch-screen PowerBook G4 siblings. Movie buffs will love watching DVDs on this model's 17-inch-diagonal screen. Its 1440 by 900 native resolution delivers a 16:10 (nearly letterbox) aspect ratio. And if you can get back to work, the screen's dimensions make viewing two documents side-by-side comfortable. Apple also packed this system with everything you need for making movies: IDVD software, a slot-loading DVD-R/CD-RW drive (which Apple calls a "SuperDrive") on the front, and two FireWire ports--one of which is a FireWire 800 port, a first in notebooks.
