DISCUSSION

    Overview
    The Macintosh PowerBook 190/66 is the most affordable PowerBook computer, combining the performance of the Motorola 68LC040 processor with the convenience of a compact, light-weight notebook computer. It offers a host of enhanced features, including PC Card slots, an expansion bay, a full-size keyboard, an improved Apple trackpad for increased functionality, and a number of upgrade options.

    Featuring an innovative design, the PowerBook 190/66 is both expandable and flexible. It provides an expansion bay for third-party peripherals and the floppy disk drive can be removed and replaced with an additional storage device or an internal AC adapter. Through its PC Card slots, you can add a wired or wireless modem, storage, Ethernet networking, or any of a host of capabilities.

    To get you started working right away, the PowerBook 190/66 comes bundled with ClarisWorks integrated productivity software. ClarisWorks combines word processing, spreadsheet, database, graphics, and communications capabilities. In addition, with your PowerBook 190/66, you will receive the PowerBook Mobility Bundle, a preinstalled collection of software that meets the needs of mobile users in the areas of communications, compatibility, power management, security, file transfer, and even entertainment.

    Already a powerful and complete system, the PowerBook 190/66 is designed to grow in capabilities as your needs change. If your tasks demand higher performance, you can upgrade your system to PowerPC RISC technology. You can improve the display capability by upgrading to an active-matrix screen (requires PowerPC upgrade). And you can opt to add infrared technology for easy file sharing, as well as color video-out.

    So if you want an affordable, highly capable notebook computer that can take you into the future, the PowerBook 190/66 is the perfect choice.
