powerbook 1400cs and 1400c

The powerbook 1400 was available in a number of different configurations and came with a 6x cd-rom modul. It was originally released with a 117 mhz powerpc 603e processor; later with a 133 mhz and the top line with a 166 mhz processor. 

The 1400 was easily upgradeable. The cpu was located on a removable daughter card, which could be replaced with one containing a faster processor, including a number of commercially available cards with powerpc G3 processors from vendors such as sonnet technologies, newertech, and vimage.  64 MB of memory was twice as much as the previous model the powerbook 5300. 

The powerbook 1400 had a higher screen resolution then the previous models mainly from 640x480 to 800x600 pixels (except the 5300ce) and came with an active matrix display (1400c) and a less expensive passive matrix, dual-scan display (1400cs). The book included also a separated graphic chip with 1 mb of dedicated memory.

Originally the powerbook 1400 was shipped with system 7.5.2, the last still supported system was mac os 9.1.
