Computer
The PowerBook Duo 210 was the first dockable Mac. By eliminating the internal floppy drive (as Apple had done with the PowerBook 100 ) along with other size- and weight-saving measures, Apple got it down to 4.2 pounds.
Because of its design, PowerBook Duos cannot use a floppy drive, external hard drive or other SCSI device, connect to an external display, or be used on a network without a dock.
The Duo sports a 4-bit passive-matrix screen similar to the 6.8 lb. PowerBook 160 .
