Compared with the PowerBook 540c, this Japan-only model has a larger 10.4-inch active-matrix color screen and a full 68040 processor with a built-in FPU, at 33 MHz. It is the only 500-series PowerBook with an all-black case, and its keyboard prints both Latin and Kana characters. Apple Japan sold it from 1995, and it never received FCC certification for the US.
