The Apple Macintosh
PowerBook 5300cs/100 features a 100 MHz PowerPC 603e
processor, 8 MB or 16 MB of RAM, and a 500 MB or 750 MB hard
drive in a black portable case with a 10.4" color dual-scan
display. The built-in display of the PowerBook 5300cs/100
supports 8-bit color, but can support up-to 16-bit color on
an external monitor with a video card. The PowerBook 5300
series was originally plagued by battery problems, but after
"reworking" by Apple, the 5300 series generally performs
well.
