This was cool...


I actually got the Powerbook 540c to boot!

These things were so baller for their day. They had built in stereo speakers with 16 bit sound, 640x480 active matrix color display, 33mhz 040 CPU, dual battery bays... it was one of the first laptops that could also work as a hoss of a desktop machine. 

Of course, they were originally something like five grand, which'd buy you a pretty nice used car back in 1995. They had product placement in movies, of course, since they looked so cool.
