All About Powerbook G4
The Apple Powebook G4 is a series of notebook computers manufactured by Apple Computers. It was powered by the PowerPC G4 processor hence named as "G4", initially produced by the companies like Motorola and later by Freescale, a Motorola spin-off. The PowerBook G4 had two different designs enclosed in a titanium body with a black keyboard and a 15" screen, and the other in an aluminum body with an aluminum-colored keyboard in 12", 15" and 17" sizes.
Between the years 2001-2003, Apple produced the Titanium PowerBook G4, and during 2003-2006 the Aluminum models were produced. Both models have come from their modern design, long battery life and processing power. When the Aluminum PowerBook G4s were first released, however, only 12 and 17 inch models were available, so the Titanium PowerBook G4 remained available until the 15" PowerBook G4 was released in September 2003. The PowerBook G4 sequel was the last generation of the PowerBook, and was phased out in favor of various Intel-powered MacBook and MacBook Pro models in the first half of 2006.
Titanium Powerbook G4 :
The first generation of PowerBook G4’s was announced by Steve Jobs at MacWorld Expo in January 2001. They featured a PowerPC G4 processor running at either 400 or 500 MHz. They were just 1 inch thick, 0.7 inches thinner than it's predecessor, the PowerBook G3. The PowerBook G4 Titanium also featured a front-mounted slot-loading optical drive into which optical discs could be inserted. The nickname "TiBook" was given to the notebook, derived from the chemical symbol of the element titanium, Ti, from which the computer's case is made from, and the brand name iBook.
