Apple PowerBook 100

Apple Macintosh · 1991

The PowerBook that set the shape of the laptop: Sony built it to Apple's design with the palm rest and the centred trackball that every laptop copied. The cheapest of the launch three and the slowest, with no internal floppy. The historically important one, and the PRAM battery leaks and destroys boards.
