Difference between Aluminum and Titanium?

Tuesday, February 27, 2007 / Hardware, Laptops & Notebooks

Could you please explain to me the difference between:Certified Pre-Owned Aluminum PowerBook G4andCertified Pre-Owned Titanium PowerBook G4

The differences between Aluminum and Titanium PowerBooks are not night and day, but do represent a significant change in Apple laptops. Titanium G4 Powerbooks can boot into OS 9 and have a slim case design. They range in speeds of 400 MHz to 1 GHz. The Aluminum line replaced the Titanium models with three screen sizes, 12″ 15.2″, and 17″. They have faster wireless networking, faster processor speeds and, bluetooth, but will not boot into OS 9.Hope that differentiates them a bit better.
