Apple PowerBook Duo 230 – AZERTY Keyboard – Fully Working – Original Adapter Included Offered here is a working Apple PowerBook Duo 230 featuring an AZERTY keyboard layout, complete with the original 45W Apple power adapter (model M5159). // Trackball pointing device: This PowerBook Duo features the original trackball-based pointing device, a distinctive hallmark of early PowerBook models. The trackball offers precise control and is fully functional. It also reflects Apple’s early experimentation with input methods, predating the widespread adoption of trackpads. > Many collectors appreciate the tactile feel and accuracy of the trackball, making it a charming and authentic detail of this vintage PowerBook. // Specifications – Model: PowerBook Duo 230 – System: System 7.5 (English) – RAM: 24 MB – Hard disk: 120 MB – Keyboard: AZERTY layout – Includes: Original 45W Apple adapter (M5159) // Working condition – The laptop powers on and operates correctly – All keys are functional (due to age, some keys require firmer pressing, which is common for vintage keyboards) – System boots and runs reliably >> Important note regarding the hard drive: From experience, formatting vintage hard drives often leads to irreversible failure. For this reason, I strongly recommend keeping the original hard disk in its current state, exactly as supplied. // Display condition (important) The LCD shows magenta/red-tinted blotches and a slight yellow color cast, as well as visible frame-like outlines across the screen. These are common aging effects on early PowerBook displays. > Please do not bid if these display characteristics bother you — this item is intended for collectors who accept or appreciate authentic vintage hardware. // Cosmetic condition Normal signs of use consistent with age.
