| Apple's Macintosh PowerBook series was sold from September 1989 to May 1998. The PowerBook has had a bumpy past, perhaps more so thanany other Apple product line, with both tremendous successes and a couple of failures. More recent PowerBooks, which are stylish, high-powered, and relatively inexpensive, are part of Apple's PowerBook G3 and PowerBook G4 series. | |||||||||||||||
