PowerBook G3

September 1998

Tech Specs: Max RAM of 512 MB, 1 Infrared, 2 Tupe II or 1 Type III Cardbus slots

Announced in August 1998, the PowerBook G3 was an answer to supply problems that had been troubling Apple all summer. By standardizing the bus speed (to 66 Mhz) and the screen size (to 14.1"), Apple could further streamline the production process, and ship PowerBooks faster. While 266 and 300 Mhz versions took some time to make it into the reseller channel, the 233 Mhz model (now equipped with a L2 cache) was available immediately.
