POWERBOOK DUO 210

"The first of a new breed, the idea behind the Duo 210 was to have a fully functional desktop computer (by way of the DuoDock) that also served as an excellent portable machine. Its most innovative feature was the 152 pin PDS that allowed it to dock with a docking station that might contain more RAM, a larger hard drive or more VRAM for a color monitor. The 210 cost $2,250, and was discontinued in October 1993." (photo credit: AppleDesign)
