"Quietly released in the summer of 1997, the PowerBook 2400 was the first Apple sub-notebook since the Duo 2300, and was co-designed by IBM. The 2400 sacrificed an internal floppy or CD-ROM drive, but very little else. With most of the functionality of larger notebooks, the 2400 weighed only 4.4 lbs. A 240 MHz version ("Mighty Cat") was released only in Japan." (picture credits: John Greenleigh/Flipside Studios)
