Improve Your View.
The 17 inch PowerBook combines a 1.67GHz processor and high resolution 1680 x 1050 pixel display with a light 6.8 lb. design, giving you the best balance of performance and portability. Work in millions of colors on the stunning new 17" (diagonal) display with high resolution; ideal for watching movies in their original widescreen format. You can also make movies of your own with the included iMovie HD software, or get Final Cut Pro for more advanced video editing, compositing and special effects.
Leading the Charge.
Now you have plenty of power to keep you working (or playing). The 17" PowerBook comes with a lithium ion battery that provides up to 5.5 hours of battery life, depending on system configuration and usage. That's an hour more than its predecessor.
As Smart as It Looks.
The sleek exterior is as stunning as ever. The 17" PowerBook G4 comes with all the refinements and aesthetic touches that make it the most coveted full featured notebook computer on the planet: elegant aluminum construction, 1.1" thin design, slot loading 8x SuperDrive and a brilliant illuminated keyboard.
Speed Demon.
Inside the PowerBook G4 is a fast 1.67GHz PowerPC G4 processor with Velocity Engine. An advanced processor design and memory architecture are among several core advantages that enable the PowerBook G4 to pack such a tremendous wallop. You'll enjoy faster drives as well. The 17-inch PowerBook G4 offers an impressive 120GB 5400-rpm drive standard.
Feel the Double-Layer Burn of SuperDrive.
The SuperDrive on the 17" PowerBook now supports double-layer burning (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW). Use it with the pre-installed iDVD software to burn DVDs that can be played in most consumer DVD players. You can also use iTunes to burn your own CDs or the Disc Burner feature in Mac OS X to burn data CDs and DVDs.
