PowerBook 170

The PowerBook 170 forms part, with the PowerBook 100 and 140, of the first generation of PowerBook, the range of Laptop of Apple, launched in October 1991.

Sold 4600 $ at its exit, it constituted the top of the portable range of Apple. It was indeed equipped with a processor Motorola 68030 with 25 MHz (against 16 MHz for the PowerBook 140. It was as the only one to integrate a Unité of floating-point calculation and a screen into active matrix, much more comfortable as the passive matrix screens. It was overall twice faster than PowerBook 140. It will be replaced in the range in October 1992 by the very popular PowerBook 180.

It should be noted that Apple left two special editions PowerBook 170: a multicoloured version for the Japan, and a very white version for the 10th birthday of the Macintosh.
