Comments
Apple introduced the PowerBook 3400 series, code-named Hooper, on February 17, 1997. The PowerBook 3400c uses a 180 MHz, 200 MHz, or 240 MHz PowerPC 603e processor with 256K cache. Apple offered buyers a choice of four configurations that ranged in price from $4500 to $6500 depending on options. The 3400c was very popular among Mac users and helped Apple recover a lot of the bad feelings generated by its clear predecessor, the PowerBook 5300, which had problems with cracked cases, overheating leading to battery recalls, and the general impression of users that felt the PowerBook's performance was lackluster. The 3400c was replaced by the first generation G3 PowerBooks (Kanga G3), which used the same chassis.
