Background and Identification
The PowerBook G4 Titanium Series includes laptops released from Apple in the early 2000s. They have bodies made mainly of titanium with a 15.2” display.
The series originated with the release of the PowerBook G4 Titanium Mercury in January of 2001. This original model had a 400 or 500 Mhz processor with 128 or 256 MB of SDRAM and a 10 or 20 GB hard drive. The PowerBook G4 Onyx was released in October of 2001. It included a more powerful processor (550 MHz or 667 MHz) as well as more internal storage (20 or 30 GB). The next Titanium Series laptop was the PowerBook G4 Ivory, released in April of 2002. This model again provided a more powerful processor than its predecessor (667 or 800 MHz). It also included more storage and internal memory. Apple released another PowerBook G4 Titanium Series laptop in November of 2002: the PowerBook G4 Antimony. This last release had the most powerful processor of the series (867 MHz or 1 GHz) with 256 or 512 MB of SDRAM and 40 or 60 GB of hard drive storage.
A common repair need in the original Titanium PowerBook G4 was for the laptop’s hinges. Users commonly reported the hinges breaking under average use. Third-party manufacturers produced sturdier hinges that could be used as an alternative. In subsequent PowerBook G4 Titanium models, Apple modified the hinge design to make it stronger.
PowerBook G4 Titanium Series Laptops are thick laptops (by today’s standards) with titanium exteriors. They have a trackpad, keyboard, and display. The word “PowerBook G4” is located on the front center of the device, just below the screen.
