The Macintosh PowerBook 165 was a replacement for the PowerBook 160.  It was almost exactly the same as the 160.  The only differences were the lack of an FPU, an increase in the processor speed from 25Mhz to 33Mhz and the addition of a grayscale screen.

History

  • I have this powerbook. It Can also use 100 ns PSRAM cards, but performance will suffer. -GAR Labs

  • Just look at the trackballs. Very timeless piece of computer hardware. And did you notice how thick it is? Yes, you are right, it is quite bulky. - Guy Riordan

  • Replica watches are the facsimile or prototype of their real counterparts. They are made following the exact designs and looks of the original watches. The difference lies in the material used to make them. Unlike Breitling Replica. Omega Replica, original watches are made of genuine stuffs like gold and platinum and are studded with real diamonds, as well.
    However, materials used to make Replica Tag Heuer Watches are worthwhile. They do not appear inferior to the original watch either in grandeur or longevity. Replica Rolex Watches  on the other hand belong to a category which at best can be called cheap and unworthy. They never give you your desired level of satisfaction. A fake watch is never an exact replacement of a designer or branded watch.
