Here is a very funny tech clip, from the TV-show Friends, where Chandler proudly show off his new laptop for Phoebe at the cafe…
Wow, that was really a bad boy to laptop, or what do you say about 12MB of ram and a whopping 500MB hard drive?!
Actually, the computer in the clip, was from the first generation of PowerBook laptops from Apple, that used the PowerPC processor. It was designed during 93-94 and you had to pay around $2300, for the cheapest model back then. The PowerBook 5300ce, with a 800×600 display, a CPU that rocked to 117MHz and 16MB RAM, would have cost you around $6800… So, you can say things had moved forward, a bit or two since then…
