PowerBook G3(Bronze Keyboard)

역사적 배경

The "Bronze Keyboard" PowerBook G3 series was announced in May 1999. It included several improvements to the previous PowerBook G3, including the addition of on-board USB, and the option of an on-board MPEG-2 decoder. The big news, however, was that the "Bronze" was 20 percent thinner than its predecessor, nearly two pounds lighter, and boasted significantly longer battery life. The "Bronze Keyboard" PowerBook G3 came in two configurations: the 333 MHz was initially sold for $2,499 U.S., and the 400 MHz model was $3,499 U.S. Although Steve Jobs originally announced a May 20 shipping date, few units shipped before mid-June.
