PowerBook G4 (12-inch 1.5 GHz)

General Information

Overview

Some of the key features that distinguish this computer from earlier notebook models

include:

• Faster processor speed: 1.5 GHz (shown on serial number label)

• AirPort Extreme Card installed

• Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS)—Sudden Motion Sensor technology is a built-in feature

on the logic board that helps protect the hard drive if the computer is dropped or

experiences severe vibration. If the sensor detects motion beyond a preset trigger

point, it sends a signal to instantly park the drive heads. This action helps reduce the

risk of damage to the hard drive on impact.

In some environments, such as live concert halls, recording studios, or

dance clubs, external vibrations may be major enough to cause the sensor to

trigger unexpectedly, resulting in interrupted sound or video playback. Refer

to the Troubleshooting chapter for instructions on how to disable SMS.

In some locations you may see the Sudden Motion Sensor referred to as

the Mobile Motion Module. Both names refer to the same feature.

Note:

• Scrolling Trackpad—A new trackpad feature allows faster navigation in windows with

scroll bars. To scroll or pan vertically, move two adjoining fingers up or down the

trackpad. To scroll or pan horizontally, move two adjoining fingers left or right on the

trackpad. You can customize this feature or turn it off in the Keyboard & Mouse pane

of System Preferences.

If you find that the pointer moves as you type because you accidentally

brush the trackpad, make sure that the "Ignore accidental trackpad input"

option in the Keyboard & Mouse pane of System Preferences is selected. For

more information on using the trackpad, choose Help > Mac Help from the

menu bar at the top of the screen.

Model Differences

The external housing of the PowerBook G4 (12-inch 1.5 GHz) model looks the same as on

the PowerBook G4 (12-inch 1.33 GHz) model. Both have a mini-DVI port (shown below),

and both have two latches inside the battery bay.

The mini-DVI port is used with an adapter cable to connect the computer to a monitor,

television, VCR, or other video device. The adapter cables that can be used with this port

include a mini-DVI-to-DVI adapter, a mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter, and a mini-DVI-to-S-Video

adapter.

To distinguish the PowerBook G4 (12-inch 1.5 GHz) model from previous models, check

the processor speed and note the latches in the battery bay.

This computer model includes two latches inside the battery bay. These latches help

secure the top case to the computer. Refer to the Top Case procedure for more

information.
