The PowerBook 145B JLPGA 1993

Do you know about the PowerBook 145B special edition for the JLPGA tournament (a Japanese women’s golf tournament)? Probably not. This special edition is much less well-known than the 1992 version, a very colorful PowerBook 170.

I recently discovered it on Reddit, but there are other photos in an older Reddit thread, and a reference at Macotakara.

The colorful PowerBook 170 (very well-known) dates back to 1992, while this model with a lid featuring the tournament’s colors dates from 1993. By the way, don’t be fooled by the names: the PowerBook 145B is newer than the PowerBook 170. The 170 is equipped with a 68030 at 25 MHz, an FPU, an active-matrix display, and came with 4 MB of RAM. The PowerBook 145B has the same CPU (without FPU), 4 MB of RAM, and a passive-matrix display.
