Powerful Pro Audio Production Anywhere You Travel!

Fully loaded with a powerful G4 processor, a 5400-rpm 80GB hard drive, 512MB of memory, a faster-burning 8x SuperDrive and a nifty scrolling trackpad, the 15-inch PowerBook G4 boasts features few notebook computers can match. Sweetwater can turn your new 15-inch PowerBook G4 into a pro audio powerhouse! Apple 15-inch PowerBook G4 at a Glance:
  • Stunning design
  • Processing speeds for pro audio production
  • New technologies such as an improved trackpad, backlit keyboard and Sudden Motion Sensor
  • Turbocharged graphic support
  • Bluetooth and AirPort Extreme built in
  • All the right ports to connect your pro audio gear to
  • SuperDrive built in
As Smart as It Looks The sleek exterior is as stunning as ever. The 15-inch PowerBook G4 comes with all the refinements and esthetic touches that make it the most coveted full-featured notebook computer on the planet: elegant aluminum construction, 1.1-inch thin design, slot-loading 8x SuperDrive and a brilliant illuminated keyboard. On the inside, a faster PowerPC G4 processor, a standard 5400-rpm 80GB or optional 100GB hard drive, powerful graphics, up to 2GB of RAM and Mac OS X - the world's most advanced operating system - combine to deliver off-the-charts performance. Built for Speed Inside the 15-inch PowerBook G4 is a screamingly fast 1.67GHz PowerPC G4 processor with Velocity Engine. Advanced processor design and memory architecture are among several core advantages that enable the PowerBook G4 to pack such a tremendous wallop. Scroll Mate Scrolling through web pages or large documents on a trackpad can challenge even the most nimble fingers. That's why every 15-inch PowerBook G4 features a new trackpad with scrolling capability. Just drag two fingers over the trackpad to scroll vertically and horizontally or pan around any active window. Change this feature to suit your needs: Customize your trackpad settings or turn off scrolling completely via System Preferences. Brighter Idea The 15-inch PowerBook now features an even brighter, futuristic backlit keyboard. Built-in light sensors automatically adjust keyboard illumination and screen brightness based on the available ambient light. You'll appreciate this breakthrough feature when you're working in a low-light environment such as an airplane cabin or conference room. Handled with Care Now the 15-inch PowerBook G4 is equipped with Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor to protect your most valuable asset: your data. The Sudden Motion Sensor senses change in axis position and accelerated movement. In the event of a drop or fall, the Sudden Motion Sensor instantly parks the hard drive heads so they won't scratch the disks on impact, lessening the risk of damage and improving your chances of retrieving valuable data. When the Sudden Motion Sensor senses your PowerBook is once again level, it unlocks the hard drive heads automatically. Graphics, Designed The 15-inch PowerBook G4 comes turbocharged with the new ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 graphics processor with 64MB of DDR SDRAM. The Mobility Radeon 9700 features a number of cutting-edge graphics technologies, including programmable pixel and vertex shading for lighting and shadow effects. It dramatically enhances all aspects of your visual experience in every application. Wander Wirelessly Every 15-inch PowerBook comes standard with AirPort Extreme built right in, so you're ready for 54Mbps wireless networking out of the box. And with thousands of wireless-enabled "hot spots" in hotels, airport lounges, coffee shops and bookstores around the world, you can get online from practically anywhere. What's more, you can use your PowerBook G4, AirPort Extreme and Rendezvous (which seamlessly recognizes and links computers and digital devices to each other) to create your own secure wireless network. Get to Know Bluetooth 2.0 In addition to AirPort Extreme, you'll also find Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (enhanced data rate) built into the new 15-inch PowerBook G4. Bluetooth 2.0 now lets you connect digital devices wirelessly up to three times faster than its predecessors. Use iSync, which comes bundled with all PowerBook G4 configurations, to synchronize your personal information among various Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as your PowerBook, mobile phone and Palm OS-based handheld. And Bluetooth 2.0 lets you take advantage of GPRS connectivity to check your email from anywhere - a benefit that comes in handy on those occasions when an 802.11 wireless hot spot isn't available. Port Authority The PowerBook G4 features FireWire, for connecting external hard drives, audio interfaces and DV cameras, and USB, for connecting MIDI and audio interfaces, graphics tablets, digital cameras, printers and scanners. And Apple ups the ante, effectively doubling data throughput, with FireWire 800. The 15-inch PowerBook G4 has two FireWire ports - one for the hundreds of FireWire 400 peripherals already available and the other for the coming generation of FireWire 800 peripherals. In addition, the PowerBook G4 offers the fastest connection to USB peripherals with two 480 Mbps USB 2.0 ports. Feel the Burn of 8x SuperDrive Your PowerBook G4 with SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW) comes loaded with iDVD software. Use it to burn DVDs that can be played in most consumer DVD players. Or use iTunes to burn your own CDs, or the Disc Burner feature in Mac OS X to burn data CDs and DVDs. The 8x SuperDrive reads DVD titles and burns DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs.
