PowerBook G3

The PowerBook G3 is a Laptop of Apple. It was launched in November 1997, that is to say at the same time as the Power Macintosh G3. Although taking again the same case as the PowerBook 3400c, it was a very other machine: it was faster than the 3400c/240, already famous for its speed. The screen remained a 12,1" with active matrix being able to post 800 × 600 pixels in thousands of colors, but the video Mémoire was extended to 2 Mo. The reader CD-ROM passed in addition to 20× (against 12× for the 3400c), the random access memory to 32 Mo (against 16 Mo), the Hard drive to 5 Go (against 2 or 3 Go). These characteristics were almost identical to that of the models of office, with the result that PowerBook G3 competed in power with the whole new Power Macintosh G3 which was already the new reference in term of power! The price of this machine of exception was in proportion of its characteristics: approximately 50.000 F including all taxes in France.

It will be replaced only six months later by the PowerBook Série G3 which use new cases in particular finer.
