The computer’s 160-megahertz PowerPC 603e processor and its 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. To get you started, there are more than a dozen learning, home, and entertainment programs, plus a collection of multimedia reference CDs.
The Performa 5400/160 includes a CD-ROM drive for multimedia applications and a 15-inch monitor (12.8-inch diagonal viewable image size) to display vibrant colors. There’s also a built-in microphone to directly record your own sounds.
