PowerBook 180c

PowerBook 180c

Apple's first PowerBook with an active-matrix color screen showed 256 colors at 640×480 on an 8.4-inch panel. Active matrix removed the smearing of the passive-matrix PowerBook 165c, which stayed on sale as the cheaper color model. Inside, the 180c matched the PowerBook 180, with a 33 MHz 68030, a 68882 FPU and a port for an external monitor.
