PowerBook G4 Aluminum 15
Announced in September 2003, the PowerBook G4 (15" FireWire 800) was arguably the most widely anticipated PowerBook to date. Since the announcement of the Aluminum 12 and 17-inch PowerBooks in January, there had been speculation about when a similar 15-inch PowerBook would make an appearance.
The PowerBook G4 (15" FireWire 800) brought the 15-inch model up to feature parity with its 17-inch "big brother".
