Apple Executive Sports 1 GHz PowerBook G4 Prototype

Apple Computer will not release a new model of their award winning PowerBook G4 until later this fall, but company executives were seen toying with prototypes of the new model just last week.

The unit is enclosed inside the same titanium casing as the current PowerBook G4 but sports a 1 GHz G4 processor, according to an overseas source who was able to catch a glimpse of the prototype's statistical info panel. Most impressively, however, is that the prototype is said to sport double the amount of DDR SDRAM video memory as the current model, in the form of an 64MB ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 AGP graphics processor.

Little to no additional information is available on the product at this time. The sighting took place at a high-profile Apple Event last week between the computer maker and some of their most cherished digital media customers. A number of the company's America based executives were apparently flown out to the event, which took place overseas.
