The PowerBook 100 was a portable Apple computer. It was first released in 1991.
It was perhaps the oddest PowerBook, being primarily based on Apple's previous 'laptop', the Macintosh Portable. It lacked an internal floppy drive, and used an almost identical version of the Portable's MC68000 CPU. It it ran at a similar speed to the Portable, and the 140. It was well received -- after Apple cut its price. Codenames for this model are: Asashi, Derringer, and Rosebud.
