“Apple’s desktop-replacement model, the $2,499 PowerBook G4, has a gorgeous, 17-inch display–and, at 6.9 pounds, it’s among the lightest laptops of its size on the market. It’s also one of the most expensive. Like its 15-inch sibling, the 17-inch PowerBook offers a 1.67GHz PowerPC G4 processor, 512MB of RAM, and 128MB of dedicated VRAM, as well as a raft of multimedia-friendly features that make it particularly well suited for graphics work. The $500 difference between the two PowerBook models can best be chalked up to the 17-inch model’s larger standard hard drive and that beautiful, 1,680×1,050 display.” - writes CNET.
