CUPERTINO, California-April 29, 2002-Apple=AE today introduced the new
Titanium PowerBook=AE G4 line featuring an all-new, high-resolution display,
faster PowerPC G4 processors, the industry's first integrated Digital
Visual Interface (DVI) port and the industry's only integrated Gigabit
Ethernet in a notebook.

The new 15.2-inch mega-wide display features an enhanced resolution of
1280-by-854 pixels, 23 percent more than previous models, along with higher
brightness and better color saturation. Faster PowerPC G4 processors up to
800 MHz and the addition of a 1MB of level 3 cache boost performance for
demanding applications like Final Cut Pro=81 and Photoshop. And, the new
integrated Digital Visual Interface (DVI) port for analog and digital video
output enables a pure digital connection to Apple's award-winning line of
flat-panel displays and the new generation of DVI-equipped digital
projectors.

"The industry's best Pro notebook just got better," said Steve Jobs,
Apple's CEO. "The new Titanium PowerBook G4's new high-res display is the
best ever offered in a notebook, its industry-first integrated DVI port
enables a pure digital connection to Apple flat-panel displays and
DVI-equipped digital projectors, and its industry-first integrated Gigabit
Ethernet is up to 10 times faster than any other notebook."

The new Apple DVI to ADC Adapter allows customers of the new PowerBook G4
to easily connect to Apple's award-winning line-up of all digital
flat-panel displays that feature the innovative Apple Display Connector
(ADC), including the stunning new 23-inch Cinema HD Display. Apple's DVI to
ADC Adapter carries the pure digital video signal, USB data and power over
a single cable, simplifying setup and minimizing cable clutter on the
desktop. The adapter also provides the ability to add a second Apple
flat-panel display to selected Power Mac G4 configurations, including
models with the new NVIDIA GeForce Titanium graphics processor.

The new PowerBook G4 includes fast PowerPC G4 processors with Velocity
Engine running at up to 800 MHz, a high-speed L3 cache of 1MB of Double
Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM and a 133 MHz system bus on all models. With its new
performance architecture, the 800 MHz PowerBook outperforms a 1.7-GHz
Pentium 4-based notebook system on average by 33 percent*. For superior
graphics performance, the new PowerBook G4 line also includes the ATI
Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics processor with AGP 4X support and 32MB of
fast DDR video memory.

offers built-in Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000BASE-T) and a 56K modem. All
PowerBook models feature built-in antennas and an AirPort=81 Card slot for
802.11-based AirPort wireless communications at up to 11 megabits per
second; the 800 MHz model comes with an AirPort Card pre-installed.
