Apple today unveiled the new 12-inch PowerBook G4 with a brilliant 12-inch, active-matrix display housed in a lightweight, durable aluminum alloy enclosure weighing just 4.6 pounds*. The sleek new 12-inch PowerBook G4 offers a speedy 867 MHz PowerPC G4 processor, fast NVIDIA graphics, a standard slot-loading Combo (DVD-ROM/CD-RW) optical drive, built-in Bluetooth, and industry-leading battery life of up to five hours on a single charge, all for just $1,799 (US). 
“The new 12-inch PowerBook G4 is a jewel,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “It’s the smallest and most affordable PowerBook Apple has ever created and the most compact full-featured 12-inch notebook in the world.” Offering a brilliant 12-inch, active-matrix display with a 1024-by-768 pixel resolution, the new PowerBook G4 measures just over 1-inch thin and weighs just 4.6 pounds. The new 12-inch PowerBook G4 has a 867 MHz PowerPC G4 processor with Velocity Engine™ and offers 256MB of fast Double Data Rate (DDR) memory (expandable to 640MB) and a fast NVIDIA GeForce4 420 Go graphics processor with 32MB of dedicated DDR RAM for incredible 3D graphics and display performance. The standard slot-loading Combo optical drive lets customers watch DVDs and burn both data and music CDs. Customers can also build-to-order their 12-inch PowerBook G4 with a slot-loading SuperDrive™ for playing and burning both CDs and DVDs. The new 12-inch PowerBook G4 includes built-in Bluetooth for wireless connections to Bluetooth-enabled peripherals such as cell phones and PDAs. Apple’s new iSync software is also included, so customers can automatically synchronize address books and calendars between Macs and Bluetooth devices. The new 12-inch PowerBook G4 also includes built-in antennas and a card slot to support AirPort Extreme, Apple’s next-generation wireless networking based on 802.11g**. 802.11g can transmit data at up to 54 Mbps, almost five times the data rate of previous wireless technologies, yet is fully compatible with the millions of 802.11b Wi-Fi devices currently used around the world. 
Pre-installed on every 12-inch PowerBook G4, Apple’s Mac OS X version 10.2 “Jaguar” enhances the mobile experience with unique features including Instant On, which wakes the PowerBook from sleep in just one second; Automatic Networking, which automatically senses the active network port and switches the network connections between Ethernet, 802.11 and modem; and advanced power management through Energy Saver Profiles for industry-leading battery life of up to five hours on a single charge. Every new PowerBook G4 includes Apple’s iLife™ applications, an integrated suite of award-winning software including iTunes™ 3 for managing digital music, iPhoto™ 2 for organizing and sharing digital photos, iMovie™ 3 for digital movie-making, and iDVD™ 3*** for creating and burning Hollywood-style DVDs. 
The new 12-inch PowerBook G4 is expected to be available later this month through the Apple Store (www.apple.com), at Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers for a suggested retail price of $1,799 (US). Additional build-to-order options for the new 12-inch PowerBook G4 include: up to 640MB of DDR RAM; the SuperDrive (DVD-R/CR-RW) optical drive; the AirPort Extreme Base Station and AirPort Extreme Card; and the AppleCare Protection Plan.
