| | MacOPINION: Charles Moore: The PowerBook 1400 Revisited (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The 1400 has what I consider an ideal laptop form factor, good looks, a decently large screen (passive or active matrix), a superb keyboard (some regard it as the best computer keyboard ever designed), solid construction, "piggy-backable" RAM, and is easy to work on. |
 | | O'Grady's PowerPage has several PowerBook 1400 survival stories on their "Extreme PowerBooks" page, including one about a 1400 that was battered by a Kansas tornado and still worked. |
 | | To continue the baseball metaphor, the 1400 was no spectacular swing-for-the-fences slugger, but rather more like a dependable, journeyman utility infielder with a modest batting average in the low.200s who could switch-hit and play several field positions competently. |
