Just curious. I am interested in a CHEAP Powerbook. I'd like color. I think I am most interested in a 540c, but I know lots of people like the 1400cs.
I'm just curious as to what people on this list think is a good all around starter Powerbook. The main purpose would be entertainment, light internet use (maybe), and light word processing.
Everything, even if only slightly, related to 68020 and 68030 desktop Macs is on topic for this list, but this is a bridge to far. I don't mind people asking the odd question about something not related to the general subject of this list, but then you should put the letters 'OT' in the subject heading.
As for your question: the 1400's are pretty solid machines. I would go for the 1400c though as it contains the much needed level 2 cache. For light internet use it is sufficient. If you only need it for light word processing a powerbook 100 or a macintosh portable would be enough. The portable is one of the best word processing machines ever made because of its page wide screen and full scale and very comfortable keyboard.
I only wonder: what is light word processing? And for that matter: what is heavy word processing?
