The release of the PowerBook G4 family in three sizes offered a speed bump to the entire PowerBook line.  They featured faster logicboard designs and improved graphics abilities.  AirPort Extreme cards were now standard in all of the machines.

By releasing all three models at the same time, the PowerBook G4 family was now on the same schedule for future releases.
