Macintosh Performa 5400/180

From its state-of-the-art RISC-based processor to its sleek graphite color, the Apple Macintosh Performa 5400/180 computer is like no other Macintosh you’ve ever seen. This sophisticated all-in-one system is ready to use right out of the box, with everything you need to inspire your creativity and increase your productivity.

The computer’s 180-megahertz PowerPC 603e processor and 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 5400/180 includes multimedia features that are expensive add-ons with other computers, including a CD-ROM drive for multimedia applications and a 15-inch monitor (12.8-inch diagonal viewable image size) to display vibrant colors.

Using the built-in capabilities, you can watch television in a window, listen to FM radio, and view and record video from VCRs and video cameras. There’s also a built-in microphone to directly record your own sounds. These multimedia features are made more lifelike through the built-in stereo speakers enhanced by SRS 3D surround sound and the Macintosh 16-bit stereo sound system. To connect to the world of information services, including the Internet, the Performa 5400/180 features a built-in 28.8-kilobit-per-second modem. The modem also allows you to use your computer as a fax or answering machine.

If you need even more advanced capabilities in the future, expansion is easy through the industry-standard Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) slot and built-in SCSI support.

The Macintosh Performa 5400/180: Performance, convenience, and sophistication that will add elegance to your home or office.
