Macintosh PowerBook 100系列
1991年Macintosh PowerBook 100推出，是苹果真正意义上的便携式计算机。Mac Poertable虽然被确定为是便携式计算机，但是对于“便携”这一概念来说还是太过大和沉重了。因此，苹果又推出体积较小和轻的PowerBook。为了使它的重量尽可能的降到最低，所以此机内部减去了软驱。

PowerBook 100被非常成功的推出后。PowerBook 140和170也相继的诞生。

详解回目录
On October 1991, Apple introduced the original PowerBook models: PowerBook 100, PowerBook 140, and PowerBook 170.
All have different specifications and capabilties, with the model 100 as the lowest, and the model 170 the highest.
While similar in appearance, the 140 and 170 were designed by Apple, with the 100 designed by Sony.
Apple contracted with Sony to miniaturize the original Macintosh Portable from 1989, itself a huge, heavy, beast of burden. The resultant PowerBook 100 is an improvement in almost every way - smaller, lighter, and cheaper.
Like the Macintosh Portable, the PowerBook also uses an internal SCSI harddrive, which while considerably faster then the typical PC IDE hard drive, probably costs twice as much. They also have in common the "SuperDrive" floppy drive, which allows the PowerBook to read and write standard MS-DOS 1.44MB floppy disks. As the first really useful portable Macintosh computers, the PowerBooks were a great success for Apple, selling over 100,000 in the first three months alone, and sales in excess of $1 billion in the first year.
The PowerBook 100 was also the most compact Apple computer for the next decade, until the Titanium PowerBook came out in 2001.
