PowerBook 170

Apple's top model of the first PowerBook line was launched with the PowerBook 100 and 140 and shared the 140's case. It added a 25 MHz 68030 with a 68882 FPU, a sharper active-matrix 9.8-inch black-and-white screen and a 40 MB hard disk. It had no port for an external monitor, which the PowerBook 180 added later.
