Apple has updated its professional laptop, the G4 titanium PowerBook, with faster processors and an improved screen.

Rumours of the make-over first surfaced last week, but Steve Jobs' company has now confirmed the new specifications. The entry-level model features a 667MHz G4 processor, while the top-end machine is powered by an 800MHz G4 chip with 1MB of level 3 cache.

The PowerBook's 15.2-inch display now features an enhanced resolution of 1280-by-854 pixels, 23 per cent more than previous models.

The PowerBook also becomes the first laptop to feature an integrated Digital Visual Interface (DVI) port for analogue and digital video output.

The 667MHz and 800MHz models feature 30GB or 40GB Ultra ATA/66 hard drives respectively, with an optional 60GB also available. The machines come with 256MB and 512MB SDRAM, expandable to 1GB.

The range starts from £2,149.00 (inc. VAT).
