PowerBook 150
Laptops1994Uncommon
The PowerBook 150 was the final 68k PowerBook — a budget model released in 1994 as the PowerPC transition was beginning, designed to serve price-sensitive buyers who couldn't yet afford the newer hardware. It used an IDE hard drive instead of SCSI, which caused compatibility headaches. An unremarkable machine remembered mostly as the last representative of an era.
