Just wondering as per this thread: click me

Anyway, essentially what I'm asking is if the powerbook G4 consists of not only the Aluminums we have now but also the titaniums... (in terms of the connector for the power). From that other thread, the iGo poweradapter (for car, plane, and standard AC), just lists the Powerbook G4 so I wasn't really sure what that meant.

No, they don't. Most adapter manufacturers, however, provide different adapter tips for different brands/models. I've forgotten at which model it was, but early Powerbook G4s had a larger tip on the computer end than the current ones. CompUSA sells the Kensington adapters, and they come with about 15 tips, to fit different machines.

That is untrue--all PBG4s use the same connector, though the amount of voltage they want does vary somewhat.
