PowerBook 2400c/180
Laptops1997Rare
The PowerBook 2400c was designed in collaboration with IBM Japan for the Japanese market — the smallest and lightest PowerPC PowerBook Apple ever made, at 4.4 pounds with a 10.4-inch display. A cult classic among collectors who value ultra-compact portables. Its keyboard layout required an optional numerical keypad accessory, a trade-off its devoted users accepted without complaint.
