You?ll recognize them when you see them. The Titanium Pow= erBook G4 still features the stunning 15.2-inch (diagonal) TFT screen and r= emains the world?s thinnest and lightest professional notebook. We?ve just= made it even more powerful, featuring: ? Faster processors?550 MHz and= 667 MHz, to be precise ? High speed graphics?thanks to the new ATI Mobil= ity Radeon AGP 4X graphics processing unit with 16MB of DDR video memory = ? Gigabit Ethernet?a first for portable computers ? Larger hard drives?of= fering up to 48GB of storage capacity We now preinstall an AirPort Card w= hen you order a model with a 667-MHz PowerPC G4 processor, and you can orde= r any PowerBook G4 with a CD-RW optical drive. One final tidbit to call t= o your attention. If you purchase a qualifying 550-MHz or 667-MHz PowerBook= G4 between now and December 31, 2001, we?ll double the RAM at no addition= al charge. [IMAGE] [IMAGE][IMAGE] Meet Our New 600-MHz iBook [IMAGE] It= ?s our best-selling portable ever, and now iBook offers even more power in = its 4.9-pound, 1.3-inch package. Take, for example, more speed. You can no= w order iBook with either a 500-MHz or our new 600-MHz PowerPC G3 processor= . In fact, the latter features a new system bus running at 100 MHz for even= better performance. Like more memory? All iBook models now come standard = with 128MB and support up to 640MB. And let?s not forget those bigger hard= drives. Whether you?re creating Desktop Movies or building an impressive m= usic collection, iBook offers more storage capacity to accommodate your ne= eds, featuring hard drives up to 30GB. [IMAGE] [IMAGE][IMAGE] One for the = Road One for the Road...and the Office Not too long ago, many creative p= rofessionals had two systems. One that sat on the desk in the office, and o= ne they took on the road. The one offered muscle; the other, mobility. It m= ay not have been a perfect solution, but it was tolerable. Thank goodness = we don?t have to tolerate it any longer. The PowerBook G4 eradicated that p= articular paradigm, offering a mobile solution that not only has no comprom= ises but that allows creative professionals to produce high-quality work on= the road as easily as they can in the studio. And though we?ve sung its = praises a few times ourselves, now Pfeiffer Consulting?an independent and h= ighly respected technology research institute?has issued an in-depth report= on the ?Portable Creative Workstation. ?

He lives on a faraway planet called The I= sland, where he battles the seductive Sea Reapers and the goofy-but-tough M= eccaryns.
