The PowerBook G3/292 (Wallstreet) -- formally a member of the "PowerBook G3 Series" as dubbed by Apple, but more commonly referred to by its codename of "Wallstreet" -- features a 292 MHz PowerPC 750 (G3) processor with 1 MB of "backside" level 2 cache, 64 MB of RAM, 4 MB of SGRAM for video, a 4.0 GB or 8.0 GB hard drive, and a 20X tray-loading CD-ROM drive in a curvaceous black portable case with either a 13.3" TFT, or 14.1" TFT active-matrix color display.
The Wallstreet "PowerBook G3 Series" has 2D/3D graphics acceleration, "zoomed video" support, dual "hot-swappable" bays which both can hold batteries or expansion modules (the left is a 3.5" bay and the right a 5.25" bay), dual Card Bus compatible PC card slots, and a new "fn" key which creates a numerical keyboard for quicker data entry. All 13.3-inch and 14.1-inch models have S-video out as well.
The Wallstreet "PowerBook G3 Series" additionally was the first PowerBook line available "buld to order", and as a result, there were many possible configurations of the PowerBook G3/292 (Wallstreet). M6541LL/A had a 14.1-inch display, 64 MB of RAM, and a 8.0 GB hard drive for US$5599. It also was available with a 13.3-inch display and a 4.0 GB hard drive for US$4599. Other configurations were available as well.
