What are the differences between the "DVI" PowerBook G4 (667/800) models?
Please note that the "DVI" PowerBook G4 series was introduced on April 20, 2002 and discontinued November 6, 2002.
The differences between the PowerBook G4/667 (DVI - Ti) and PowerBook G4/800 (DVI - Ti) are relatively minor. Both use Titanium cases effectively identical to those used by previous PowerBook G4 models, but have faster processors with level 3 cache, improved graphics and higher resolution displays. The "DVI" models also swap the VGA port for a DVI port, add an analog audio in port, and drop the IrDA capabilities.
The major differences are summarized below in this handy chart:
