Confused by all the models known as PowerBook G3, PowerBook G3 Series, and just plain PowerBook? This table sorts them all out. In many cases, models were available in two or three speeds with different amounts of memory and hard drive sizes. (For iBook info, click here.)
Except for the original Kanga G3, all of these will support Mac OS X with sufficient memory and hard drive space (128 MB RAM, 1.5 GB available drive space).
For a better overview of the five G3 PowerBooks, see Low End Mac's Overview of G3 PowerBooks.
