The 5300 is the first PowerPC based PowerBook. Due to fire risk with the original lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries, the units shipped to consumers with nickel metal hydride (NiMH) instead. This model also lacked L2 cache which impacted performance.
General Information
Shares the same case design as the Macintosh PowerBook 190 and is fairly similar to the Macintosh PowerBook 3400c.
CPU
All models, except for the 5300ce, use a 100MHz PowerPC 603 (603e variation) processor. The 5300ce clocked in at 117MHz.
Memory
The PowerBook 5300 series shipped with either 8MB or 16MB RAM depending on which specific model was chosen.
Expansion
The PowerBook 5300 uses a hot-swap expansion bay for modules such as a floppy or Zip drive, but the size of the bay cannot accommodate a CD-ROM drive.
