PowerBook facts for kids
.jpg)
The PowerBook was a cool type of laptop computer made by Apple Computer, Inc. for many years, from 1991 to 2006. These laptops were often the first to have new features that later became common in other computers. PowerBooks were designed for people who used computers for their jobs, like designers or engineers. They won many awards, including a "Gold" award for great design in 2001 and "Laptop of the Year" in 2005 from a tech website called Engadget.
Before the PowerBook, Apple had another portable computer called the Macintosh Portable. Other companies also made laptops that could run Apple's Macintosh software, like the Outbound Laptop. In 1999, Apple started making a cheaper laptop model called the iBook. Both the PowerBook and iBook lines were stopped (Apple stopped making them) and were replaced by the MacBook family of laptops in 2006.
