PowerBook G3
FireWire / Pismo
Laptops2000Common
The PowerBook G3 FireWire — nicknamed 'Pismo' — added FireWire 400 and AirPort wireless to the G3 lineup, making it the most connected Mac laptop yet available. Running at 400 or 500 MHz, it was also fast enough to handle early digital video editing. The Pismo is widely considered the finest PowerBook G3, refined in every dimension from its Wallstreet ancestor while maintaining its expansion bay versatility.
