POWERBOOK 540c

"Introduced in May 1994, the PowerBook 540c was similar to the 540, but included a 16-bit, active-matrix color screen. The 540c was priced at $4,840." (photo credit: Apple Computer)

POWERBOOK 550c

"Introduced a year after the 540c and released only in Japan, the 550c increased the screen size to 10.4 inches and added an integrated FPU (that is, it replaced the 68LC040 of the 540c with a full 68040 processor). It also came in a slick black case." (photo credit: Apple Computer)
