Revision to PowerBook G4 Aluminum Series
| == Background and Identification == | |
| - | Released in 2003, the aluminum series of PowerBook G4 laptops featured an anodized aluminum body, silver keys, and new size options to match customer preference. On the initial launch, only the 12” and 17” models were available, but a refresh later in 2003 brought a model in the same 15” size of the previous titanium PowerBook G4. With this refresh, both the 15” and 17” model featured Apple’s new FireWire 800 connection and all models upgraded to USB 2.0. |
