Announced in September 2003, the PowerBook G4 (12" DVI) was essentially a speed bump of the previous model. In addition the mini-VGA port was upgraded to mini-DVI, and the two USB ports were upgraded to USB 2.0. The PowerBook G4 (12" DVI) shipped in both Combo Drive and SuperDrive configurations, each with 256 MB of RAM and a 40 GB hard drive. They were priced at $1799 and $1999 respectively. Both models were discontinued in April 2004.
