The Granddaddy of Notebooks-The 17-inch PowerBook
The 17-inch PowerBook is being touted as
one of the slimmest, lightest, thinnest notebooks on the planet
and with good reason. Weighing it at only 6.9 pounds, it comes
packed with an amazing array of tools along with the capability
to let you work wireless from practically anywhere. The megawide
display is the largest ever in a notebook supporting a resolution
of 1440 x 900 pixels with 1.3 million pixels appearing on
the screen at the same time.
Built-in optical digital audio input and
output allows you to connect to decks, digital instruments,
receivers and even 5.1 surround sound systems. You can be
sure you’ll always receive true, noise-free, crystal
clear sound with the transmission of light impulses instead
of troublesome electrical signals through optical digital
audio transmissions.
 AirPort
Extreme is built-in to give you the ability to surf everywhere
from the local coffeeshop to a bookstore abroad and even an
airport lounge. For those times when you aren’t able
to get online at a WiFi hot spot, you can take advantage of
Bluetooth technology and GRPS connectivity to check email
anywhere in the world.
This PowerBook is packed and ready to go
wherever you may lead. Even on rough terrain, standard Apple
Sudden Motion Sensor will protect your PowerBook and your
data. The Sensor 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.
The built-in, dual-link DVI support and whopping
128MB of graphics memory gives you the ability to connect
to flat-panel displays, CRT or VGA monitor; even a projection
system or large-screen TV.
Like all the PowerBooks, the 17-inch PowerBook
also comes packed with plenty of features to help you get
started quickly and easily. The Mac OS x Tiger comes standard
with every PowerBook, providing 200+ features including Spotlight;
a tool that allows you to obtain the information you need
as quickly as you type and DashBoard; which can help you to
find everything from movie times to stock prices.
Rounding out the 15-inch PowerBook package
is the the iLife ’05 suite, complete with applications
like iMovie HD, iTunes, GarageBand, iPhoto and iDVD. QuickBooks
for Mac New User Edition as well as a complete collection
of graphics tools such as Zinio Reader, FileMaker Pro Trial,
Art Directors Toolkit, OmniGaffle, Graphic Converter and OmniOutliner
are also included straight out of the box.
