PowerBook 3400c

I have a vintage PowerBook 3400c for sale, but can't find info on it. How to check the exact specs? It runs on OS 8,1, but i don't know how to find processor speed. What is it worth? Is anyone interested? 🙂 Thank you for any answers!

null-OTHER, iOS 8.1

That model has a PowerPC 603ev processor running at 180, 200, or 240mHz. If it works, doing "About this Mac" from the Apple menu should show which speed option yours has. That model had a short lifepsan, from Feb to Nov 1997.


Even if it works it is not worth much. I'm thinking under US$20. It cannot be upgraded past OS 9.1 which went obsolete in June 2002. Finding any popular website that still runs tolerably well on that old an OS version would be harder than finding Sasquatch wearing a tux while sipping coffee in a Seattle Starbuck's!


It may be worth more if parted out.
