The new PowerBook family gives you power in a choice of three ultrafast portables. Whether you prefer the ultra-compact 12-inch model, the coveted 15-inch powerhouse, or the stunning 17-inch beauty, every new PowerBook G4 is loaded with advanced capabilities. Housed in a sleek, lightweight aluminum alloy enclosure, the PowerBook G4 is resistant to stains and scratches. It's also perfectly smooth on all surfaces, with no doors, protruding latches or levers to break, and no sharp edges to catch on your clothing. And whatever your notebook needs or desires are, you can be sure there's a PowerBook G4 that's perfect for you.

Starting at just 4.6 pounds, the three new PowerBook G4 models are light enough to carry around all day. And thanks to the PowerPC G4 processor with Velocity Engine, every PowerBook packs a tremendous punch for doing everything from crunching numbers to editing video and designing show-stopping presentations. You'll marvel at the way Apple has fitted the supersharp high-resolution TFT XGA active-matrix display into such a remarkably compact frame. To see it is to feel the strong stirrings of technolust.

    What a neat computer....

    By Brad  Nov 13, 2003 | 15 out of 15 found this Apple PowerBook G4 Laptop Computer review helpful

    Pros: Small and light, good battery life, definitley cool with aluminum case

    Cons: Software not as plenty...but whats included actually works great!

    Hello there, this review is on the 12" Apple powerbook G4, and this is my first Apple computer. The reasons I wanted to switch are as follows: Security from internet viruses, and multimedia applications. One startling thing I found out ab...out Apples are that they are not affected by viruses, if fact I could not find over about 2 viruses out there that might affect it. And it isnt due to the fact that there isnt anyone writing them, there are viruses for Linux and the other off-brand OS's. I guess I didnt like installing the weekly (sometimes daily) MIcrosoft Internet Explorere Security update and patches. After the worm viruses of late, I decided it was time to switch. The software package included is excellent, Apple calls it the iLife. The photo, video, and DVD burning (this computer has a DVD-R drive as well) programs are well integrated, and actually work without fail, which is something I had problems with the compatibility of the Windows products with my last PC. The OS X operating system is very fluid, hasnt crashed, and is very intuitive to use. For not knowing the nuances of an apple, I have caught on very quickly. This computer weighs about 4 1/2 pounds, much lighter than the 7 lbs I had with my Toshiba Satellite. It is 1" thick, and the aluminum case is really stylish, plus the DVD burner is quite an achievement in a computer this small, and for 1700 odd dollars. Read more Less

    I Love my 12 inch PowerBook

    By Terry  Nov 25, 2003 | 2 out of 2 found this Apple PowerBook G4 Laptop Computer review helpful

    Pros: A true portable with power.

    Cons: none

    This is my 4th Apple laptop. I've had a 1400, an orange clamshell iBook, a 12 in. iBook, and now the 12 inch PowerBook, I went with the 12 because of portability. The iLife apps. (iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto) Microsoft Office, Photoshop and Safari all... run flawlessly. One impressive feature is hooking the PowerBook up to my 42 inch plasma TV and streaming music into iTunes from an iMac in my office, via a wireless airport network. The sound is not as great as listening to a DVD, but when you turn on the Visualizer the resulting light show will take you back to the 70s. Read more Less
