Macintosh PowerBook 1400cs/1400c

Introduced: October 1996
Terminated: Early 1998

Description

The PowerBook 1400cs/1400c ran a PowerPC 603e processor available in three different speeds: 117, 133 and 166Mhz.  It shipped with a 1.4Mb floppy drive and a 6x CD-ROM.  The 1400cs had a 11.3” DualScan color display while the 1400c had a 11.3” active matrix color screen.  Both displays had a resolution of 800 x 600.  There was 12 or 16Mb of logicboard RAM and the RAM could be expanded to 64Mb via the single PB 1400 slot.  The CD-ROM drive was sleep-swappable and allowed users a variety of storage options.  Expansion slots allowed the use of video-out, Ethernet and Type II or III PC Cards.

History

The first PowerBook to be released since the disappointing PowerBook 5300, the PowerBook 1400cs/1400c was the first notebook to have a CD-ROM drive built in.  The fact that that drive was sleep swappable made this a very flexible machine in terms of data storage.  The lid on the 1400 was a unique feature as it included a cover for storing paper.  The 1400 was more expandable and changeable than previous PowerBooks, giving the portable some of the options that had been available in desktops for years.
