Hardware Description

Macintosh Portable M5126 was an updated version of previously releasd Macintosh Portable M5120 computer. The only major differerence between the two models is the backlit LCD screen, which improved readability in both dark and bright locations. The trade-off for the brighter screen was reduced run time from single battery charge. It went down from 12 to 6 hours. Apple also used less expensive SDRAM chips in the later version, which allowed to lower the retail price.
