Brother Powerbooks, a decade apart
On the left, the Powerbook Duo 230, purchased in 1994; on the right, my 12" Powerbook G4, purchased in 2004. The machine on the left cost about $2,500, has a 33 MHz 68030 processor, has 24 Mb of RAM, and has a passive-matrix 640x480 grayscale screen; the machine on the right cost about $1,500, has a 1.33 GHz G4 processor, has 640 Mb of RAM, and has an active-matrix 1024x768 color screen. That's only the *start* of the list of differences.
