Known quirks
- Briefly the fastest PowerBook — 240 MHz PowerPC 603e
- Hot-running; internal temperatures damage LCD flex cables over time
- Kanga G3 daughter card was factory upgrade path (rare) — not a chassis upgrade
- Dark, matte plastic body chips and cracks at the front edge
- Full pro ports but still needed a proprietary VGA dongle
