Important Notes

Memory from previous PowerBook models is not compatible with this computer. Do not use older SDRAM DIMMs or SDIMMs even if they fit into the slot.

The Bluetooth module is different from the PowerBook G4 (12-inch).

The AirPort Extreme card assembly has a flex cable glued to the card, making it unique and specific to this computer.
