Apple announces new PowerBook-faster, thinner, lighter

At its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple Computer, Inc. today announced its new PowerBook® line. Powered by copper-based 333MHz and 400MHz PowerPC G3 processors, the new notebooks provide true desktop performance and run up to twice as fast as the processors in Pentium II-based notebooks.

Weighing just 5.9 pounds, the new PowerBook line is nearly two pounds lighter and almost 20 percent thinner than their award-winning predecessors. Powered by up to two lithium-ion batteries, the new PowerBook line runs up to five hours on a single battery —and up to 10 hours on dual batteries—setting a new industry record for notebook computers.

The new PowerBook line comes standard with 14.1-inch LCD screens, and also features industry standard USB, 10/100BASE-T Ethernet, and 56K /v.90 modem ports for easy connection to the latest peripherals and high-speed networks. Customers can now extend their workspace with dual display capabilities when the new PowerBook is connected to an external monitor, video projector, television or VCR.

“The new PowerBooks are the fastest, lightest and longest battery life full-featured notebooks in the industry,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s interim CEO. “We hope our customers are delighted with these great new PowerBooks.”
