Mac Systems: Apple: Macintosh PowerBook Series

The Apple PowerBook series was sold from October 1991 to February 1997 and the earlier Macintosh Portable first was released in September 1989. Apple's pre-G3 PowerBook line had a bumpy past, perhaps more so than any other Apple product line, with both tremendous successes and a couple of failures, too.

The PowerBook Duo, PowerBook G3, and PowerBook G4 as well as the more modern MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models additionally may be of interest.
