Small Price, Big Tools-The 12-inch PowerBook
The 12-inch PowerBook may be the smallest
portable Apple has ever made, but it has everything you need
but the high price. Starting at just $1499, the 12-inch PowerBook
G4 comes with a 1.5GHz PowerPC G4 processor, 12MB of memory
and even more storage than ever before; equipped with a standard
5400-rpm 60GB or optional 80GB or 100GB Ultra ATA/100 hard
drive. The optional 8x SuperDrive provides more power to burn
DVDs; a perfect combination for the built-in stereo speakers
with an enhanced midrange third speaker, stereo line-in, stereo
headphone and internal microphone.
 Designed
for users on the go, the rugged design features a scratch-
and stain-resistant aluminum alloy enclosure that weighs just
4.6 pounds. While the 12-inch PowerBook may be light on load,
it’s heavy on features with a high-resolution 12.1-inch
TFT XGA active-matrix display with brilliant 1024 x 768 pixel
resolution. You can be sure your PowerBook will be protected
with Apple’s standard Sudden Motion Sensor, which actually
senses change in axis position and accelerated movement, then
responds by immediately parking the hard drive heads so that
disks won’t be damaged on impact when it senses a drop
or fall. As soon as your PowerBook is level again, the Motion
Sensor will automatically unlock the hard drive heads.
Super fast performance is provided through
the PowerPC G4 with Velocity Engine, capable of processing
128-bit chunks of data, making it a perfect fit for next-generation
video, voice and graphics applications.
The frustrations of trying to surf the web
are gone with the newly designed trackpad; allowing users
to scroll vertically and horizontally as well as providing
the ability to pan around any active window. You can even
customize your trackpad settings.
Support for DVI, ADC, VGA, S-video and composite
video signals is also included along with support for dual
display mode and video mirroring; allowing you to extend your
work area or mirror projects to an external projector, big-screen
TV or display.
Wireless networking has never been easier
with AirPort Extreme built right in; allowing you to get online
from almost anywhere included Wi-Fi hot spots in airport lounges,
hotels and bookstores across the globe. And when a wireless
hot spot isn’t available, you can take advantage of Bluetooth
technology and GRPS connectivity to check email.
The lithium-ion battery keeps you going with
up to 5 hours of battery life while the massive storage capacity
provides all the room you need for all your projects.
