Apple's two new higher-resolution PowerBooks have several improvements, with no change in price. They have a "SuperDrive" that can burn DVDs, an extra hour of battery life and other additional upgrades.
At a special event in New York City on Wednesday, Apple introduced updated PowerBook G4 15 and 17-inch models with new, higher-resolution displays and up to 1 hour of additional battery life.
What's more, all new PowerBooks include a DVD-burning "SuperDrive," with prices unchanged from before --- systems start at US$1,499.
The 15-inch PowerBook features 1440 x 960 pixel resolution --- similar to the resolution of previous generation 17-inch models, 26 percent more than previous 15-inch systems.
The 17-inch PowerBook now features 1680 x 1050 pixel resolution --- 36 percent more than before, the same resolution as Apple's 20-inch Cinema Display.
All PowerBooks include built-in Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), integrated AirPort Extreme (802.11g-based wireless networking), a scrolling TrackPad and Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor technology.
The $1,999 15-inch PowerBook features a processor clocked at 1.67GHz, an 8x SuperDrive with double-layer support, 512MB of PC2-4200 DDR2 SDRAM running at 333MHz, expandable to 2GB, 80GB hard drive, analog and optical digital audio input and output, Gigabit Ethernet, illuminated keyboard and ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 graphics with 128MB DDR video memory and Dual-Link DVI support, to support Apple's 30-inch Cinema HD Display.
