TOPIC

    This article contains a list of technical specifications for the Macintosh PowerBook 5300ce/117 computer.


DISCUSSION

    Microprocessor
    --------------
    * 117-MHz PowerPC 603e

    Memory
    ------
    * 32 MB of RAM, expandable to 64 MB

    (Note: 16 MB is soldered to the logic board. The other 16 MB is in the one RAM card expansion slot.)

    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 1.1 GB 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
    -------
    * 10.4-in. (diagonal), backlit, active-matrix, SVGA color display
    * Resolution: 800 by 600 pixels with thousands of colors; 800 by 600 resolution (SVGA) provides a larger viewing area than standard 640 by 480 displays. This means you see more spreadsheet columns, text, and graphics
    * Black matrix screen reduces glare, clearly defines colors, and improves contrast

    Battery
    -------
    * Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery provides 2.5 - 4 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 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: 2.2 in. (5.3 cm)
    * Width: 11.5 in. (29.2 cm)
