The PowerBook 3400c is a laptop computer in the PowerBook line manufactured by Apple Computer from February to November 1997. It was briefly the fastest laptop in the world.[1] Using the PowerPC 603e processor running at speeds of up to 240 MHz, this PowerBook was the first to feature a PCI architecture,[2] EDO memory,[3] and a 64-bit wide, 40 MHz internal bus.[4] It was also the first PowerBook to feature a PC card slot capable of being used as a zoomed video port.[5] Like all Apple laptops since the PowerBook 500 series, it featured a built-in trackpad as the pointing device.
