The Apple Macintosh
PowerBook G4/1.0 features a 1.0 GHz (1000 MHz) PowerPC 7455
(G4) processor with the AltiVec "Velocity Engine" vector
processing unit and 256k on-chip level 2 cache
(3.),
a 1.0 MB level 3 cache (DDR SDRAM)
(4.),
512 MB of PC-133 SDRAM, a 60.0 GB Ultra ATA/66 (4200 RPM)
hard drive, a slot-loading 1X/6X/8X/4X/24X SuperDrive
(DVD-R/CD-RW), an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 (AGP 4X) video
controller with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM, and pre-installed
AirPort wireless networking. The PowerBook G4/1.0 shares the
same stunning 1-inch thick Titanium case, high-res 15.2" TFT
widescreen display (1280x854), full-size keyboard, DVI
connector, and lightweight power adapter as the earlier
PowerBook G4 "DVI" models, but adds a faster PowerPC G4
processor, a faster video controller with more VRAM, and a
slot-loading SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW). The SuperDrive
addition is particularly notable as this is the first laptop
to ship standard with such a drive. Custom configurations
were also available.
