What's the best Powerbook for System 6?

Note that speed is not the only consideration here. Other factors that go into making a 'book the 'best include:

  • Screen: crisp, clear, large, lots of pixels, daylight readable (backlight off?). Colour optional. I'll take a crisp mono over a washed-out grey/colour anyday.
  • RAM: cheap and easy to find, large capacity
  • Keyboard: reliable and easy to type on (bye bye, Duos)
  • Expandable: ports, connectors, etc.
  • HD: IDE would be nice
  • Size and weight: less is more
  • Pointing device: my preference is for trackballs
  • Battery: easy to find, repair or remake (not "intelligent" 5x0s)
  • Can boot into 7.x (optional)
  • ... other ?


A FrankenBook would be a possibility.

Let the banter begin :b&w:

hey how come there's no powerbook smilies?
