The PowerBook G4 Titanium was a notebook series from Apple , Apple's first notebook series, whose cases were mainly made of metal, while the previous series all had plastic cases.

There were a total of four generations of PowerBooks in the Titanium series with essentially the same cases. The Titanium series had a 15-inch panorama screen and was based for the first time on the PowerPC G4 processor, which was clocked between 400 MHz and 1 GHz, depending on the model. The Titanium was Apple's last notebook that had the connections (USB, FireWire, Display, Ethernet, etc.) mainly on the back of the device, all subsequent model series have the connections on the side. The very flat case made of titanium sheet (English: titanium ) and plastic frame made the computer relatively light (weight, depending on the equipment, less than 2.5 kg), but it was also sensitive. Cracks often formed in the sheet metal, especially in the area of the display's hinges . The locking mechanism of the display lid and the paintwork, which tended to peel off, were just as susceptible to damage.

The memory could be expanded by the customer himself by lifting off the keyboard held by magnets and a lock to gain access to the slots. However, replacing the hard drive required unscrewing the housing, as well as installing the airport WLAN card (which is not factory-installed in most equipment).

The Titanium PowerBook was still in the range when 12 ″ and 17 ″ PowerBooks with aluminum housings were introduced. Together with the introduction of the second generation of the 12 ″ and 17 ″ PowerBooks, the Titanium PowerBook was finally replaced by the PowerBook G4 15 inch.
