Most of the machine was covered in the lightweight metal, giving the computer a sleek, modern look. Instead of the aluminum used today, Jony Ive and company opted for 'airplane-grade' titanium. It made the previous-generation machines look bloated and old, in their curvy black plastic enclosures. The G4 was just one inch thick, and was made out of metal. The big story was, of course, the design. These machines ran at a clock speed of up to 1GHz and supported 1 GB of RAM. The last revision, in November 2002, brought an optional SuperDrive, which was the first slot-loading DVD burner offered from Apple. In April 2002, the machines got faster again and a DVI port and audio in were added. Gigabit Ethernet was added in October 2001, with an increase in clock speed. While the launch models were clocked at 400 and 500 MHz, Apple would revise these machines several times over their two and a half year run, vastly increasing the power that mobile users were growing accustomed to having.
