PowerBook A family of laptop computers from Apple that was introduced in 1991. PowerBook was the first Apple brand name for a series of portable computers, which lasted until 2006, when they were superseded by the MacBook Pro. Prior to the PowerBook, Apple introduced a portable computer that was not very widely used (see Macintosh Portable). The first color PowerBook was the 165C in 1993.Like the Macintosh desktop evolution, the first PowerBooks used Motorola 68K CPUs and subsequently changed to PowerPC chips in 1995. Very Popular Throughout their history, the PowerBooks were very popular. In 2001, Apple introduced a thin, silver PowerBook in a titanium case that became a cult machine. The titanium model was followed by anodized aluminum cases in keeping with Apple's new look. The last PowerBook was the PowerBook G4 in 2006, which was superseded by the MacBook line, also maintaining the silver case design. See iBook, MacBook and Macintosh.
