PowerBook G4 Intro

[86123maxxi]

@upiluften the font that they were using before this is called Adobe Garamond Pro, and this font is called Apple Comedy or something like that and the current font after this one is called Myriad Pro Semibold from Adobe. Myriad Pro and Adobe Garamond are arguably one of the best fonts available.

[scottyboyy99]

Titanium weighs more than aluminum.

[Alantgv]

@scottyboyy99

Thats why they changed to aluminum in 2003...

[NIGEL520]

Why are they clapping for a 3500 laptop????

[ironbloodus]

@NIGEL520 Umm, pricing for a highend laptop in 2001 was a lot different.

[psp10004]

iphone 4 is more powerful than that and 4S is twice as powerful

[jskuzma]

This was my first mac computer. I miss it. I miss the days when apple still innovated, and real computers were their focus.

[upiluften]

It's funny that Jobs talks about omitting optical drives to achieve thinner computers.. Macbook Air.

[upiluften]

Apple has in-house advertising?! God Damn. They do everything.. but more importantly they do everything right.

[upiluften]

Airplanes don't have Ti.. most of them are Aluminum.. partially.

[upiluften]

I guess this is before Apple discovered Helvetica..

[littlegamer133]

thumbs up if ur watching this on ur powerbook G4

[MrTelepot]

2499, 3599.. I've sold laptops with better specs for 100 lol.

[TheMacanator1984]

the "powermac g4" he said at 9:29

[BillyL6]

lol "mega wide screen"

[CocoRoloKittehs]

Titanium.. Stronger than steel, flimsy as hell!

[420FreeLife]

My parents bought me the higher end model when I graduated junior high in 2003. I have a MacBook Pro now, but still use this for movies and it still works great after the lifespan of seven PCs.

[tomitofazzio]

i wish my macbook air was made of titanium, i would weight less than 2 and a half pounds and would be almost unbreakable 

[TheHorrorTastic]

@TheBioman12 Well No fucking shit.

[WeEatBrainz]

The 5 hour battery life is still pretty impressive 10 years later.

[macbookprofan90]

@TheBioman12 you do realise that way back in the day in 2001?

[mavalos88]

Expensive :S

[anapplefanboy]

OMG! 8 MB GRAPHIC! x'D

[ball3r90]

Damn he was fat!

[ultimatetoturial56]

@ball3r90 lol he was no cancer

[macosftw]

MEGA WIDE-SCREEN? HOLY CRAP

[murdoch201]

3:23 : He means his chinese slaves have been working on this for a while in the Apple-kampfen!

[SilentAero7]

LOL! Power Mac G4

[OOIEatte]

Funny how it still looks better than most laptops 10 years later.

[thebrentboys]

Imagine there reaction to the macbook air

[oOJakkeOo]

WOOOW when does it come out?!

[124romero]

Lmao they got happy when you see the apple logo the right way when you open it lol

[penguindesign]

@124romero Because on PowerBook G3, it was upside down...

[2112gil]

If, titanium was lighter than aluminum?? Then why do they made current Macs with aluminum???

[detubevanMaarten]

@2112gil ecological issues ;-)

[brodofaggins]

@2112gil Because titanium is fucking expensive.

[WarDwarfSalad]

i want the sex

[fazzinaw11]

[xxVampirePenguinxx]

WOAH 15 INCH SCREEN AND BUILT IN DVD

[stogi5959]

we want power AND sex,so were introducing a new POWERVIBRATOR!!!!

[sillychicken599]

I have one

550MHZ

768MB Ram

15 mins of battery life

What a slow system :) It is useless but i love it. lol

[marquesandre92]

The new powermac g4, sorry the new powerbook g4 (: i love apple!!!!!

[MrTechclaw]

if its lighter than aluminum than why r they making there new computers out of aluminum

[ottomobille]

@MrTechclaw cuz its cheaper

[FrosChannel]

*guy in the background* I WANT ONE!!!

[MrSeamusCoughlin]

Am I the only one that noticed while he was saying "They have a P3 at 650, we totally toast them with our G4" you could clearly see on the chart that the Viao was 150mhz faster?

[whewmancool]

@MrSeamusCoughlin dude megahertz is not just a processor speed factor, architecture is matter either, cache, bus and all others

[86123maxxi]

Sorry , correction , the G4 sustained 1.5 GigaFlops at 500 MHz and had a peak of 4 GigaFlops at the same speed

[86123maxxi]

The ad said that it was a Supercomputer because in August 1999, when the first G4 based Power Mac was released, it was classified by the US Department of Defense as a Supercomputer as one maybe described as having a peak performance of over 1 GigaFlops which the G4 sustained at 1.5 GHz and had a peak of 4 GigaFlops running at 500 MHz using the PowerPC 7400.

[westexchi]

we want the power and the sex! hahahahahahaha!

[tubey1997alt]

....but they have the sex.

LOLWTF.

[adryanv]

@tubey1997alt I saw the whole keynote years ago and I believe Steve was talking about Sony's laptops.

[AlexFoeShizzle]

@tubey1997alt LOL I know right, i didnt get it either :P

[flipspeed97]

power+sex???

[CaptainDarren82]

I have the latest Titanium PB G4, the 1GHz model, and the hinges never had a problem. It is a nice laptop and  looks better than any PC laptop in any store I walk into.

[gallagherm1993]

they discontinued titanium because the hinges would crack. also, the airport signals were weakened by the metal

[TomHopkins24]

5.3 pounds I'm getting 10

[aaroncar]

That was a nice beginning haha.

[adryanv]

@TheBioman12 A few decades from now our kids will say "32 Cores? Lol my iPod is faster!"

[illydinxaxen]

$3499? Holy Fuck

[chakracannon97]

wait... POWERBOOK IS THINNER AND COOLER-LOOKING AND MADE OUT OF A BETTER MATERIAL THAN MY MACBOOK? AND THEY DISCONTINUED???

[tembwbam99]

I had one of these for three years and LOVED it. Had a few minor battery and PMU related issues, but was still a great computer. Thanks for posting this!

[chavitavb]

I have this laptop and still fast...but the internet is slow..

[tembwbam99]

@chavitavb You're running an old Airport card, 802.11b. Current is 802.11n. You can get a PCI card running at least 802.11g for cheap, and it will noticeably speed things up. Looks a little ugly, but worth it IMO.

[MusicIsIt9]

OMFG ITS A BUILT IN DVD PLAYER

[MegaTrancy]

@MusicIsIt9 TEH TEHNOLOGEH HUS GUN SO FUR!

[MyIcedCoffee]

if titaniama is light than aluimina why did he make the new macbook pro with aluiam

[DeLong6994]

why don't they make the macbook pro's out of titanium

[nikolaitan]

@DeLong6994

Titanium is more expensive than aluminum. They want to lower the cost of the product. Compare the pricing of the titanium mac to aluminum mac, the aluminum is way cheaper.

[geekforlifevandc]

500mhz lollolololo fail

[chantinginmysleep]

@geekforlifevandc you do know that this is old, right?

[geekforlifevandc]

@chantinginmysleep i know back then i w as like holy shit 500mhz SCORE!! im looking at it from todays perspective

[vantageIIx]

@geekforlifevandc a 500mhz g4 could run at the speed of like a 2ghz p4. and in 2001, thats fucking amazing.

[onthenetgear]

Super computer fast? hahaa.

[GJshorts]

WTF completly random intro

[halfpound92]

trashh computer what pathetick LOL 1inch thick ROFL pathetick!

[AwwC00L]

[AwwC00L]

@smellytoilet1996 back then that was the most amazing thing iv ever seen 500MHTZ!!!!!!

[NamelessNLS]

i dont like that Jobs allways fuck the concurency... allways say thaat others sucks..

and they belive it.. said

[lucasnooker]

lol the guy at llike 2:58 I WANT ONE!

[cell1540rol]

@lucasnooker It sounde like he said "I'm hard"

[gerfall]

Who buys a computer for looks? Oh yea, faggots.

[stainglassfox]

@gerfall Why buy any computer that looks bad? Chances are you are going to be staring at it all day, why make it ugly? It's not like it's slow, for the time it was actually quite fast, and the screen was big. Sure it was costly, but so is all of the hardware from Apple (not necessarily overpriced, just expensive).

[charleswolfman]

"so now when you open it the logo is right side up" *applause and cheers*

Im an apple user myself, but it amazes me how little things can mean so much to people.

[eduardolz31]

after 10 years, the only thing that remains the same in Apple are Steve Jobs' presentations.  I think he needs to come up with something different.

[matheusmoraest]

The PB Titanium still is an amazing notebook.

[7235moo]

if it's 15 inches 1 inch thick and 5.3 lbs...yea it seems pretty damn good at sex.

only problem is its too fast

ahahaha

[PotatoPaulKim]

Wow... The computers are so much better then only like 9 years ago...

[megacraft]

sooo titanium = sex :S

[mpollux2]

SNEASE !!!

HAHA!!

[FLStudio4512]

"and about a billion other people" lol he wishes at the price ell he'd gross trillions

[LivingHumanoidInterf]

OH MY GOD APPLE COMPUTER I'M GONNA JACK OFF ALL OVER MY KEYBOARD NOW

fucking fags

[muffa08]

lol these days cell phones have like 1ghz cpu and at that time they were proud with 500mhz...

[Neander121]

That was my first apple 8 years ago, an excellent machine!

[VloggerGal90]

THEY HAVE THE SEX, BITCH! THEY HAVE THE SEX!

Wait, is he talking about porn?

[MsTeleological]

the sex...

first thing i heard lol

[2000pcman]

1:44 "Like the Spy planes" lol

[cornholio777]

air port wire? fire wire? he is talking ancient language

[Paulwander]

Apple for Life - I love you Mac

[qwayker]

Funny how the uploader has dell1032 as his account name

[jcguy15]

Mega-wide, if he only knew it was called WideScreen.

[2000pcman]

@jcguy15 Back in 2001, Wide-Screen didn't really exist and most Laptops were 4:3

[bernardmarianovella]

Funny how we thought that was amazing back in the day.

[Aqwert76]

the quality is the best part of this video

[giugio93]

i love apple, all i have at home is apple stuff, not dell, not vaio, and all the other brands...

however there is something that has been arousing my curiosity for a long time now: how can apple get away with practically insulting, because they do in their presentations, the other computer and technological brands.

if i were they, the first thing i would do is to sue apple! how can they get away with it?

could someone answer to this, please?

[guitargodpetrucci]

I used to ask myself the same question! Well, if you ask me.... It's not really "insulting", more like poking fun. And since Apple's main competitor is Microsoft, that's precisely why their insults are directed to them. And don't for one second think that Microsoft keeps their mouth shut! Search for the video "Ballmer laughs at iPhone". Microsoft could choose to sue if they wanted to, but they aren't really offended that much, I guess. It's just a competitive thing, that's all.

[giugio93]

thanks, i'm going to watch the video right now!

[computerdood123]

i wonder the same thing ....how can he insult all the other brands and not get in trouble for it? i no if i were they i would be really mad..well if you have got an answer any were to this question please tell me

[Paulwander]

@giugio93

Yeah Apple is the best. Just brought my Macbook. Love it. Apple rocks!!!!

[5t3rlin9]

i have a powerbook g4 not a powerbook g4 titanium...lol i was like man i got mines for a cheap price until i figured out i dont have the titanium one... xD

[STEVESANDS100]

What Mr jobs dosen't talk about is that this 'TITANIUM" steel power book is actually a hybrid of several metals with a paint that does not adhere properly. Therefore it flakes causing the book to lose value on resale. That's assming that the rear hinges which hold the screen don't break off first , as THREE of mind did. Apple charges $800 to repair it. Also they discovered that this "titanium" hybrid reduces the range of WIFI compared to thier non-titanium pc counterparts. .

[macfanleapord]

whoa steve jobs talks dirty

[olfrygt2007]

He is not really comparing a subnotebook with a 15" brick...

[paintballgundown8]

they should make it all steel

[Winterbyte]

It's ironic that "DELL" 1032 posted a video about a MAC. Power + Sex :D

[xxhopingtearsxx]

2599?! Apple always overprice.

[JellyTheDonut12]

"We think the new PowerMac G4..." ???

[turkeyhead23]

i want the power + sex!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[natrino84]

and pc laptop still aint quite as good as that design!

[scastlet]

y did they switch from titanium to aluminum?

[natrino84]

cost

[SovietSlayer]

the titanium destoryed the wifi

range

Honestly i cant believe my old 500mhz powerbook g4 cost 3500, amazing

[grahambrunk]

Titanium was a great idea....until apple realized it sucks for wireless.

[smellytoilet1996]

@grahambrunk because of the metal body?

[OoBitEeAaBitEe]

Steve Jobs Has Sex With Apple Computers And Thats Not Normal And Bill Gates Doesn't So That Makes Microsoft Better.

[DrainedOutBattteries]

da sex! lol!

[KobeTheDog]

Jeff Goldblum?

[raider123456789123]

is the G4 any fast cuz the G3 is slow

[marianai234]

does not last 5 hours

[SplendidoSplendente]

it does, in certain conditions

[mypassmark1]

this was probably EXCLUSIVE in 2001. this laptop is really nice looking and still looks better than my compaq from 2007 lol. GO apple!!!

[kay333ate644]

ha! 15.2" mega-wide screen?

[derektherock42]

Back then that certainly was mega-wide-screen

[khalidzcool]

steve jod was so fat at these times

[FelisCatusLover]

JOBS.

[derektherock42]

Not exactly, he's just insanely skinny now. Or at least last time we saw him. He'll hopefully be his regular size again when he comes back.

[thesoul55]

P-P-P-Powerbook

[macmacs1992]

When he made the remark about the sex, he was referring to Sony, who, at the time, had one of the sleekest portables (specifically, the Z505 or similar), but was not as full featured. The PowerBook G3 was powerful and more capable, but not as stunning. Therefore, Sony had the sex, and Apple had the power. The G4 brought both.

[devontopaz]

wow this gives me a titanium boner!

[puolimono]

He is like a teacher: SJ: "What is this?"

Audience: "Titanium" :D

[Epic0fear0]

how come they dont use titanium in the new macbooks if its lighter than aluminum?

[jromey5]

cost

[meowser007]

didn't they have to paint the titanium instead of anodizing the aluminium.

[Geekmumblings]

I was thinking the exact same thing...

[cameroon339]

yeah....

[HdieXlawnC]

That's the question I ask myself every day...What about the sex?

[PurushaDesa]

Ask YOURSELF every day? You know it's harsh times when your own right hand won't return your phone calls.

[HdieXlawnC]

Good one?

[PurushaDesa]

Is the uncertainty because of the failure of the quip, or that you thought it was possibly a genuine observation? The latter disturbs me.

[Geekmumblings]

1-0

[927nick]

Who takes this videos? Apple or one of the people that attended the presentation?

[gunsnrosesareawesome]

WHAT ABOUT THE SEX?????

[cameroon339]

this looks like a pc laptop nowadays.

[DeltaPhi79]

Which shows how Apple is way ahead of other PC manufacturers.

[freshpopband]

sex has nothing to do, just a marketing technique!

[hovac]

wats this dude's name agian?

[DerrickBouchard]

steve jobs

[JULIAN88S]

YES,Steve Jobs

[bmxbike525]

wtf y did steve jobs say sex lol

[maudeleon]

i guess he's saying "the ibook users get laid because they computer looks great, the powerbook users get power... but what about the sex?"

[cameroon339]

i think he probably meant like sexy, or hot

[brasil221]

ZOMG TITANIUMZ!!!1

[Justingraziano1]

lol they got silent when they heard airport ready.

[bsasam]

wtf sex

[ImOfNope]

This thing is a piece of junk by today's standards. That 'dying of cancer Jobs' wasn't much of a salesmen. He just had a bunch of geeky suckers in the audience. I had a later model for three years, before the drive started to die out and now I have to consider forking over another thousand - plus dollars for a newer one. And all I wanted to do is just keep my documents and photos on it. Nothing more. Just another big rip off money guzzling company.

[WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

power + sex

[aquinoking777]

dude i got a BRAND NEW Powerbook G4 17" and for only 900 dollars with the 20 gb...

[thefamilyk]

Lol Steve jobs doesn't really compare pc's to his products anymore... Probably because how cheap pc's are getting.

[DerrickBouchard]

It's funny how much those used to be, and how cheap they are now.
