PowerBook G4
12-inch
Laptops2003Uncommon
The aluminum PowerBook G4 replaced titanium with anodized aluminum that was more durable and even more precisely machined. Available in 12, 15, and 17-inch configurations, the aluminum G4 family carried Apple's laptop line through the final years before the Intel transition. The 17-inch model was the largest laptop Apple had ever made; the 12-inch the smallest and most compact professional Mac.
