<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The Macintosh PowerBook 5300cs/100 provides the performance of PowerPC technology in an affordable color notebook system. It’s a versatile system, suitable for everything from word processing to desktop publishing.<br />
<br />
Featuring an advanced 100-megahertz PowerPC 603e processor, the PowerBook 5300cs/100 lets mobile users experience the true power of desktop computing—all in a system that weighs only 6.4 pounds. It provides 16-bit, CD-quality stereo sound, and its full-page-width, dual-scan display supports 256 bright, vivid colors. It also comes with 8-bit color video-out to support external displays. <br />
And the power of its RISC processor not only lets the PowerBook 5300cs/100 handle the most complex tasks easily, but also enables it to run Insignia Solutions SoftWindows emulation software for DOS and Windows compatibility.<br />
<br />
Already powerful, the PowerBook 5300cs/100 is designed to make expan-sion easy. You can expand the memory to 64 megabytes, or opt for an active-matrix display. The PowerBook 5300cs/100 also features two PC Card slots as well as an expansion bay for third-party solutions—the floppy disk drive can be removed and replaced with an additional hard disk drive, magneto-optical storage device, or internal AC adapter. <br />
<br />
Because communication is so vital to mobile users, the PowerBook 5300cs/100 offers a range of networking and communications options. It features built-in infrared technology for easy file sharing without cable connections or time-consuming set-up. Through its PC Card slots, you can add a wired or wireless modem, storage, or Ethernet networking capability. And it comes with eWorld, Apple’s on-line service, as well as the PowerBook Mobility Bundle, a pre-installed collection of software that meets the needs of mobile users in the areas of communications, compatibility, power management, security, file transfer, and even entertainment.<br />
