 With speeds of up to 500MHz, room for up to 512MB (half a gigabyte) of RAM and 3D graphics acceleration, it packs a tremendous wallop. And with AirPort wireless capability, FireWire and desktop movies to go, the future’s built right into this slim, 5.7-pound powerhouse.

With PowerPC G3 processor speeds of up to 500 megahertz, room for up to half a gigabyte of SDRAM, 1 megabyte of backside cache, up to 18 gigabytes of hard disk space, two built-in FireWire ports and long battery life, this portable movie studio comes with enough built-in muscle to put most digital video projects into overdrive. And with an ultrasharp, 14.1-inch TFT active-matrix display, the ATI RAGE Mobility 128 video controller and 8 megabytes of video memory, the PowerBook lets you do it all and see it all with exceptional clarity—in millions of colors.

No compromises The PowerBook delivers uncompromising performance in a stunning—and stunningly light—package: just 5.7-pounds with battery and weight-saving module installed, and 6.1 pounds with battery and DVD-ROM drive installed.

Finally, you know what they say about all work and no play. We subscribe to that philosophy wholeheartedly (that’s another reason why we snuck in that high-speed graphics accelerator). And when you’re taking a break from editing your digital video masterpiece—or from charging through dungeons—just pop the latest Hollywood hit into your DVD-ROM drive and watch a movie for a change.

Beyond the digital frontier Two built-in 400Mbps FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports let you transfer large digital video and graphics files from a DV camcorder or external hard drive. Add Apple’s Final Cut Pro video editing software, and you’ve got everything you need to create professional broadcast-quality movies. In fact, there’s enough memory, cache and raw processing power in this lightweight portable to enable you to do with digital video what the first pioneering Mac users did with desktop publishing: create a whole new medium.
