Apple PowerBook 180c
====================
Copyright 1993, Apple Computer, Inc.
The sharpness and clarity of an active-matrix color display make the Apple
PowerBook 180c the most appealing high-performance PowerBook computer. The
PowerBook 180c gives you the processing speed you need to take maximum
advantage of your color applications, and you get the flexibility to handle
multiple tasks at one time—all in a package that’s small enough to fit inside a
briefcase.
Featuring a brilliant active-matrix display with 640- by 480-pixel resolution,
the portable PowerBook 180c gives you 256 vivid colors. And you can even take
advantage of a larger display when you’re not on the go: just connect the
PowerBook 180c to almost any Apple, VGA, or SuperVGA display, and expand your
on-screen workspace.
The PowerBook 180c has the same features and options as the high-performance
PowerBook 180. It takes advantage of a 68030 microprocessor running at 33
megahertz and a powerful math coprocessor to provide superior processing power
for even the most demanding applications. And the PowerBook 180c can support up
to 14 megabytes of RAM, so you can work with multiple applications
simultaneously.
With the PowerBook 180c, you’ll find all the connections you need to work
anywhere — on the road, in a conference room, or at your desk. AppleTalk
networking is built in, so you can connect to an AppleTalk network and receive
electronic mail, have access to servers, or share files. And there are seven
built-in ports for access to peripheral devices such as modems, scanners, and
external storage drives.
Best of all, the PowerBook 180c is a Macintosh computer. It’s easy to set up, a
pleasure to use, and versatile enough to handle colorful graphics and
multi-media applications as well as mainstream business programs.
