Apple unveiled new 12" PowerBook G4s on Tuesday, September 16th, 2003, at Apple Expo in Paris, Framce.  To find out how they stack up against their PC counterparts, we ranked them by their following technical specifications:

The first observation we can make is that there are fewer 12" laptops to compare than there are 15" ones.  This is because (1) most companies don't make a 12" laptops w/ DVD-RW drives (only Apple and Dell do), and (2) some companies don't make 12" laptops (like Acer and Micron).

All 12 models here have 12.1" screens 256 MB RAM, 40 GB HD, ethernet and Windows XP Professional or Mac OS X.  Note: if a particular comparison is halfway off your screen, rather than scroll, use its previous comparison's "Jump to" line to position that comparison at the top of your screen.

12" laptop processors top out at only 2 GHz (rather than at 3 GHz on 15" models) and bottom out below Apple's offerings, so Apple didn't come in dead last in this comparison and starts off much better here (8th out of 12 rather than 26th out of 27).

Apple solders 256 MB of RAM onto the logic board and offers only one upgradeable memory slot to help differentiate it from its 15" model.  When compared to its PC counterparts, Apple still ranks well at 5th place, but it could have been tied for 1st.

Because all models have 40 GB hard drives, tieing them all at first place is pretty pointless, so in its place we thought we'd look at if they shipped w/ FireWire (IEEE 1394) which is important for iPods, external hard drives (for quickly and economically backing up), DV cameras, etc.

If you want a 12" laptop w/ DVD-RW, it's Apple or Dell.  Note that Gateway's and Fujitsu's drives are external and not reflected in their weight.  And amazingly, HP doesn't make a professional 12" laptop w/ any optical drive: you have to purchase a separate external docking solution.

This is definitely in, and 1.2" is thinner than Apple's current iBooks, at 1.35", but 1.0" w/ a DVD-RW drive is even thinner.  In fact, these 12 professional 12" laptops on average, at 1.2", are a full 1/2" thinner than their 15" siblings, at 1.7".

4.6 lbs is the lightest laptop Apple makes right now, including its 12" iBook at 4.9 lbs, yet it comes in 9th out of 12 here, though a few of these do fail to include the weight of their external drives, and Apple does eke in above Dell.

Battery life is so subjective that Dell and Gateway won't even tell you how long their laptops will last.  Fortunately for consumers, everyone else will for theirs.  Of course, your mileage will vary, but better to have some idea than no idea.

Fully half of these laptops include 3 year warranties in their purchase price.  Note that for Dell, after comparably configuring your laptop, click Continue to reduce the deluxe 3 year warranty to a basic one, which also shaves off ~$300.

Holy cow!  Who'd have thought Apple would come out on top w/ regards to price compared to its PC peers!  Because prices fluctuate so much, day to day, vendor to vendor, I'm assigning points in pretty generous $500 blocks.

So in this comparison, IBM comes out on top, Dell ties for 2nd and 3rd place (even though it got seriously dinged on weight, battery life non-disclosure and price), and Apple ties for 4th and 5th out of 12.

CDW.com is an excellent site for browsing, if you don't know what you want or for what you're looking.  For Fujitsu, I had to go to zones.com.  For Dell and Gateway, please configure as comparably as you can, including warranty.
