POWERBOOK G3 BRONZE KEYBOARD

"The Bronze Keyboard" PowerBook G3 series was announced in May 1999. It included several improvements to the previous PowerBook G3, including an on-board USB, and the option of an on-board MPEG-2 decoder. The big news was that the "Bronze" was 20 percent thinner than its predecessor, nearly two pounds lighter, and boasted significantly longer battery life. Some sacrifices were made to achieve the new form factor, most notably the inclusion of a single PC-card slot (previous PowerBooks had two)." (photo credits: Apple Computer)
