Editing PowerBook G4 (section)

=== Reception ===
In a review, ''Macworld''{{'s}} Andrew Gore praised the PowerBook's weight, wider screen, and Velocity Engine, but criticized the difficulty of replacing the hard drive. In a battery test, he found that Apple's stated 5 hours of battery life could only be achieved with the screen dimmed and the processor clocked down to 300&nbsp;MHz, though he described battery life in normal use, of slightly over three hours, as "very respectable".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gore |first=Andrew |date=April 30, 2001 |title=Inside the Titanium Powerbook G4 |url=https://www.macworld.com/article/151603/powerbook-2.html |access-date=2023-05-13 |website=Macworld |language=en}}</ref> ''ATPM''{{'s}} Trevor Boehm rated it "excellent", describing it as pricy but a good [[Mobile workstation|desktop replacement]], and praising its speed, screen, and ports, though he criticized the trackpad as oversensitive and inconvenient for [[drag and drop]].<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Boehm |first=Trevor |date=August 2001 |title=Review: PowerBook G4 Titaniuim |url=http://www.atpm.com/7.08/tibook.shtml |magazine=About This Particular Macintosh |volume=7 |issue=8 |access-date=2023-05-13}}</ref> ''PC World''{{'s}} Carla Thornton praised its design, screen and performance, but criticized its graphics, DVD speed, battery life and price.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Thornton |first=Carla |date=March 28, 2001 |title=Review: Apple's ultrathin PowerBook G4 |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2001/TECH/ptech/03/28/powerbook.g4.idg/index.html |access-date=2023-05-13 |website=PC World |via=[[CNN]]}}</ref>
