DISCUSSION Microprocessor -------------- * 100-MHz PowerPC 603e Memory ------ * 8 MB of RAM, expandable to 64 MB (Note: The 8 MB from Apple is soldered onto the logic board. There is one RAM card expansion slot for expanding memory.) Storage ------- * Built-in removable Apple SuperDrive 1.4 MB floppy disk drive, which uses high-density floppy disks and reads, writes, and formats Macintosh, Windows, MS-DOS, OS/2, and ProDOS disks * Internal 500 MB hard disk drive * Expansion bay for third-party solutions such as an additional hard disk drive or magneto-optical drive (PC Card storage tray included in box may be inserted into this bay to reduce weight by 0.4 lb.) Display ------- * 9.5-in. (diagonal) backlit, passive-matrix display * Resolution: 640 by 480 pixels with 16 levels of gray Battery ------- * Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery provides 2.5 to 4.5 hours of use before recharge * Battery recharges in 2 hours while computer is shut down or in sleep mode; 4 hours while running * PowerBook Control Strip lets you monitor time remaining, charge status, and battery usage PC Card slots (PCMCIA) ---------------------- * Two PC Card slots that can accommodate two Type I or II PC Cards or one Type III PC Card * Lets you add industry-standard PC Cards such as Ethernet networking, a wired or wireless modem, storage, or other capabilities Expansion bay * IDE connector for third-party solutions such as an additional hard drive, a magneto-optical drive, and other devices * Power lines for connection of an internal AC adapter and other third-party solutions Ports ----- * One Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) port * One serial (RS-422) port * One SCSI port for connecting as many as six external devices (including CD-ROM) * One power adapter port * Stereo sound input port * Stereo sound output port * Video output port Networking ---------- * Serial/LocalTalk port for AppleTalk connections to networks and printers * Ethernet networking through PC Cards * Ultra-easy file sharing through infrared technology*without cable connections or time-consuming setup; supports AppleTalk protocol Built-in stereo sound --------------------- * 16-bit, CD-quality stereo sound capable of driving headphones or external speakers * Built-in speaker and integrated microphone * Digital-to-analog conversion sampled at 44.1, 22.05, or 11.025 kHz * 16 bit, audio line-in for recording Video output ------------ * 8-bit video output port to support external color displays*compatible with most Apple, VGA, and SVGA monitors (upgradable to greater bit depths through third-party solutions) Security -------- * Includes a security slot that secures the system, battery, and expansion bay (requires a third- party accessory) * Includes password protection software Keyboard and Apple trackpad --------------------------- * Built-in, full-size keyboard with 76 (U.S.) or 77 (ISO) keys, including 12 function keys and integrated palm rest * Power button on keyboard * Solid-state Apple trackpad provides precise cursor control in response to the movement of the user*s fingertip over its surface; sensing of movement and acceleration is easily adjustable through a control panel Disability access ----------------- * System software includes CloseView and Easy Access, and provides the ability to substitute visual cue for beep Electrical requirements ----------------------- * Line voltage: 100 to 240 volts AC * Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz ADB power requirements ---------------------- * Maximum current draw for all ADB devices: 200 mA Environmental requirements -------------------------- * Operating temperature: 41 degrees to 95 degrees F (5 degrees to 35 degrees C) * Storage temperature: *13 degrees to 140 degrees F (*25 degrees to 60 degrees C) * Relative humidity: 20% to 80% noncondensing * Operating altitude: 0 to 10,000 ft. (0 to 3,048 m) * Maximum storage altitude: 15,000 ft. (4,722 m) Size and weight --------------- * Height: 2.0 in. (5.1 cm) * Width: 11.5 in. (29.2 cm) * Depth: 8.5 in. (21.6 cm) * Weight: 5.9 lb.
