PowerBook 180
Laptops1992Uncommon
The PowerBook 180 was the performance flagship of 1992 — a 33 MHz 68030, active-matrix display, and an FPU that the competing 160 and 165 lacked. It completed the first generation of PowerBook refinements, establishing that the laptop platform could deliver genuinely fast computation. The 180c added color to the active-matrix display, at significant expense.
