Mac Systems: Apple: Macintosh PowerBook Duo Series

Sold from October 1992 to February 1997, Apple's PowerBook Duo series provides both a portable notebook computer and the option to setup a full-powered desktop Macintosh using a compatible Duo Dock. Unfortunately, the Duo series never sold very well in the US, which likely was the primary reason it was discontinued.

The PowerBook, PowerBook G3, and PowerBook G4 as well as the modern MacBook Air additionally may be of interest.
