  Book Information

You've coveted one for a long while, and now it's yours: the
sleek and speedy PowerBook. It's as stylish as you wanted,
as slick as you imagined, and as mighty as you hoped. So now
what? The PowerBook Fan Book is your quick and fun guide to
mastering all the features and taking advantage of the
infinite advanced capabilities of your beloved new laptop.
No PowerBook owner should be without a copy.

Lightweight but power-packed, your PowerBook comes with all
sorts of high-end features so that you can effortlessly
enjoy portable connectivity, wireless networking,
lightning-fast graphics, and much more. In either the
12-inch, 15-inch, or 17-inch model, the PowerBook boasts a
PowerPC G4 processor with speeds topping the charts at
1.5GHz and 4x-speed SuperDrives, and it comes standard with
AirPort Extreme--offering the fastest speeds in wireless
networking--and Bluetooth.

But there's a lot to learn before you know your trusty
machine well enough to make the most of these many
offerings. The PowerBook Fan Book is just the thing to get
you up to speed in a flash with your new laptop. This
compact, affordable, and accessible guide takes you through
the process of getting familiar with your machine and OS X
Panther, learning cool tricks and tidbits, and finding out
about often little-known but must-have accessories for your
favorite new piece of hardware.

The ideal gift for anyone wielding the most desirable of
Apple's laptops, this book includes sections on getting
started, organizing your digital lifestyle, advanced
features, using your PowerBook at home, at the office, or on
the go, and tips and tricks for doing most anything and
everything you could want. In no time, you'll be burning
DVDs, crunching numbers, building a website, composing
music, and editing digital video like an expert.
