Description

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

Almost exactly the same as the PowerBook 160, the 165 had a few key upgrades and a substantial price drop-it was now $1,500.
