Brand loyalty plays a big part in the selection and purchasing oflaptop computers. No where is this more evident than the following generated by Apple.
Since the company's startup in 1976, they have had a laser like focus on customer service and brand awareness. With their distinctive logo and imaginative advertising Apple has built one of most recognizable brands in the world. Always keeping the needs and wants of their huge customer base in mind Apple constantly and fervently works at improving and upgrading their product line of computers and the enormously successful Apple iPods.
Apple always listens to their loyal following and develops their products accordingly.
Apple Powerbook G4
Those who’ve considered Apple’s amazing new PowerBook G4 series of portable computers but can’t quite justify the expense would do well to explore its less expensive, slightly less capable sibling, the iBook G4. Available in three flavors, the iBook G4 doesn’t sport PowerBook amenities such as DVD burning and massive widescreen displays, yet all three models feature superb connectivity, subcompact dimensions, and impressive battery life.
At just 11.2 by 9.1 by 1.3 inches
and a scant 4.9 pounds, the iBook G4 12-inch is downright tiny. Yet
when you flip the lid you’ll find such desirable perks as a full-size
77-key keyboard with 12 function keys and four arrow keys, a trackpad
with double-tap and drag capabilities, a smallish but crystal clear
12.1-inch display capable of 1024x768 resolution, and a combination
CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive through which you can burn audio CDs, archive files
and play the latest Hollywood blockbusters. For storing your files,
Apple has installed a serviceable 30 GB hard disk -- enough space for
general use but too little for serious multimedia archiving.
Connectivity options include an integrated 56K modem for dial-up
communications, a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port for LAN and high-speed
Internet and email, and two high-speed USB 2.0 ports and one FireWire
400 port for external high-tech toys such as scanners, digital cameras
and digital camcorders. Users can also purchase an Apple AirPort
Extreme Card for wireless communication and an internal Bluetooth
module to interact with future cordless Bluetooth devices such as cell
phones and PDAs.
