The PowerBook G3/333 (Bronze Keyboard/Lombard) -- formally a member of the "PowerBook G3 Bronze Keyboard" series as dubbed by Apple, but often referred to by its codename of "Lombard" -- features a 333 MHz PowerPC 750 (G3) processor with 512k of "backside" level 2 cache, 64 MB of RAM, a 4.0 GB hard drive, a tray-loading 24X CD-ROM drive, and ATI Rage LT Pro graphics with 8 MB of SDRAM in a sleek black portable case with a 14.1" TFT active-matrix color display.
In addition to faster processors and the "bronze keyboard" for which it is named, the PowerBook G3 "Bronze Keyboard" systems are approximately 20% thinner than earlier PowerBook G3 models, have longer battery life, weigh substantially less and add dual display support. Also when compared to the "PDQ" models before them, the "Bronze Keyboard' PowerBook G3 models exchanged the ADB and Mac serial ports for dual onboard USB ports (while retaining the SCSI port), added 10/100Base-T Ethernet (up from 10Base-T) and dropped one of the two PC card slots.
