A prototype PowerBook Duo 2300c laptop, called "AJ" on the bottom because it was the codename during production. The 2300c was the last laptop in the PowerBook Duo line, and the only one to use a PowerPC processor.They were manufactured from 1995 to 1997, but by the end of 1995 they were made irrelevant by the release of the PowerBook 2400c. This and the incredibly high price (upwards of $5000 USD) contributed to the discontinuation.
The back of the laptop has port covers which flip down to prop the keyboard at an angle.
