Comments
The Power Macintosh 4400 combines Macintosh performance and ease of use with a streamlined, cost-effective design and outstanding compatibility with the PC world. The 4400 features the RISC-based PowerPC 603e processor. The 4400 is somewhat odd in that its floppy disk drive is placed to the left side of the CD-ROM drive, unlike all other Macs. Like most inexpensive Windows clones of the time, the 4400 employs an inexpensive jagged metal case to save on cost. The 4400/160 was sold only in Europe.
