Hardware Description

The Apple Macintosh PowerBook 5300ce/117 features a 117 MHz PowerPC 603e processor, 32 MB of RAM, and a 1.2 GB hard drive in a black portable case with a 10.4" color active-matrix display. The built-in display of the PowerBook 5300ce/117 supports 16-bit color, and also can support up-to 16-bit color on an external monitor with the addition of a video card. The PowerBook 5300 series was originally plagued by battery problems, but after "reworking" by Apple, the 5300 series generally performs well.
