The PowerBook G4/1.33 12" features a 1.33 GHz PowerPC 7447a (G4) processor with the AltiVec “Velocity Engine” vector processing unit and 512k on chip level 2 cache, 256 MB of PC2700 DDR SDRAM, a 60 GB Ultra ATA/100 hard drive (4200 RPM), either a slot-loading 8X “Combo” drive (M9183LL/A) or 4X “SuperDrive” (M9184LL/A), built-in Bluetooth 1.1 and AirPort Extreme (802.11g), and NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 (4X AGP) graphics with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM in an attractive aluminum alloy case with a 12.1" TFT XGA display (1024x768 native resolution). Custom configurations also were available.
Compared to the PowerBook G4/1.0 12" (DVI) that it replaced, the PowerBook G4/1.33 12" is similar, but has a new logicboard design – complete with a faster processor, a faster system bus, faster RAM, and improved graphics.
The aluminum PowerBook G4 was designed by Apple’s Vice President of Industrial Design, Jonathan Ive, and used a radically different design from the preceding titanium models. The most obvious change was the use of aluminum instead of titanium to manufacture the body. The keyboard, which was originally black, was changed to match the color of the body. Additionally, the aluminum keyboard was backlit on the 17" model and on one of the 15" models. This was the first case of keyboard internal backlighting seen on a notebook computer. The external design of Apple’s professional laptops continued to remain similar to the aluminum PowerBook G4 until the Spotlight on Notebooks event on October 14, 2008.
Despite the age of this system, there’s a lot of upgrades that this computer supports, the RAM can be upgraded, and the HDD can even be replaced with an SSD.
