Apple unveils faster, more affordable PowerBooks
January 31, 2005 - 08:34 PST
Apple today unveiled its fastest, most affordable PowerBook line to date, featuring PowerPC G4 processors running up to 1.67 GHz, faster hard drives and a faster 8X SuperDrive. All new PowerBooks come standard with 512MB memory, faster graphics, integrated AirPort 802.11g, Bluetooth 2.0 wireless networking and two new Apple patent-pending technologies -- the scrolling TrackPad and the Sudden Motion Sensor.
"Designed for creative and business professionals, the new PowerBooks introduce Apple's patent-pending scrolling TrackPad that works with every application and document, so users can easily scroll through long web pages or across large photographs. Simply touch the trackpad with two fingers instead of one to quickly scroll or pan within the window. Every PowerBook also includes Apple's patent-pending Sudden Motion Sensor technology which integrates a tri-axis accelerometer to help protect a spinning hard drive if the notebook is accidentally dropped. Apple's revolutionary backlit keyboard with ambient light sensors for working in low-light conditions is now built in to all 15- and 17-inch PowerBooks and is up to 10 times brighter than before."
The new 12-,15- and 17-inch PowerBook models will be available later this week through The Apple Store, at Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers with prices starting at US$1499.
