Description

With its state-of-the-art RISC-based processor and advanced multi-media capability, the Apple Power Macintosh 5400/180 computer is ready to help you learn, create, and communicate.

The computer's 180-megahertz PowerPC 603e processor and 16 megabytes of RAM let you easily run an abundance of Macintosh applications -- and there's plenty of room to store them on the 1.6-gigabyte internal hard drive.

The Power Macintosh 5400/180 includes multimedia features that are expensive add-ons with other computers, including a CD-ROM drive for multimedia applications and a 15-inch monitor (12.8-inch diagonal viewable image size) to display vibrant colors.

Using the built-in Apple Video System, you can view and record video from VCRs and video cameras. There's also a built-in microphone to directly record your own sounds.

Multimedia audio is made lifelike through the built-in stereo speakers enhanced by SRS 3D surround sound and the Macintosh 16-bit stereo sound system.

Built-in Ethernet connectivity lets you access the Internet -- including the World Wide Web -- through your local Ethernet network.

Compatibility with MS-DOS or Windows software­based computers is provided in several ways. You can share floppy disks and files by using Macintosh PC Exchange and Macintosh Easy Open software (both included). For the ultimate in compatibility, Apple's optional PC Compatibility Card puts a 100-megahertz 586-class processor right in your computer.

If you need more capabilities in the future, expansion is easy through the industry-standard Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) slot and built-in SCSI support.

The Power Macintosh 5400/180: Performance and convenience for learning, creating, and communicating.
