Hi,
In my quest for the "best" of each Powerbook generation made (which I will knowingly never attain, but having fun in the process!), I won a Powerbook G3 "Kanga" off eBay, hopefully to arrive next week.
I'm a big fan of the Powerbook 3400 with it's solid look and feel, and the best sound quality in any laptop I've come across. The clincher is packing a 250Mhz G3 in there - which I believe makes it about 2 - 3X faster than the 240Mhz 603e in it's predescessor! All that for just 10Mhz more! Upon arrival I've some parts in waiting, perhaps some RAM, and two known working batteries.
I think it's a relatively rare machine in that it only sold for a few months until the Wallstreet G3 came up, it was kind of a placeholder until that time. Either way, it's not for show, I will quite enjoy using this one.
