Apple Powerbook

Ranked #105,675 in Computers & Electronics, #1,634,163 overall

The Powerbook is a laptop computer line manufactured by Apple Computer; a portable version of the Macintosh aimed at the professional market.
In October 1991 the first three PowerBooks were released, causing a stir in the industry with their compact dark grey cases, use of a trackball, and the clever arrangement of the keyboard which left room for resting one's wrists on the case.
The current PowerBook G4 series is available in three models: exquisite 12-inch model, the versatile 15-inch powerhouse or the ultimate 17-inch stunner.
