Processor: PowerPC 603e 160 MHz (Power Macintosh 4400/160)
CPU cores: 1
Memory: 16 MB
Storage: 1.2 GB
CPU: 160 MHz PowerPC 603e with integrated floating-point unit, 40 MHz system bus and 32 KB level-one cache; optional 256 KB level-two cache on a 160-pin DIMM card
GPU: Built-in video with 1 MB EDO video-memory DIMM, expandable to 2 MB EDO or up to 4 MB SGRAM. Exact support table gives 16-bit colour through 832 × 624 and 8-bit at 1024 × 768 or 1152 × 870 with standard 1 MB; 1280 × 1024 needs expanded video memory and permits 8-bit at 2 MB or 16-bit at 4 MB
Memory type: 16 MB standard; maximum 96 MB using three 168-pin 64-bit 3.3 V unbuffered EDO DIMMs, 60 ns or faster. Each socket supports up to 32 MB; slot one only supports single-bank DIMMs. No memory soldered to board; 4 MB ROM
Storage type: 1.2 GB internal IDE hard disk, manual-inject 1.44 MB Apple SuperDrive floppy and 8× ATAPI CD-ROM
Expansion slots: Three PCI 2.0 expansion slots, 45 W combined allowance. Exact English support says one 7-inch and two 12-inch slots; shared Service Source instead specifies one full-size 12.28-inch slot and all three support 6.88-inch cards. Card-length conflict retained. No separate Comm Slot II on this original 160 model; later 200 model differs

Ports: Headphone jack
Back ports: DB-15 monitor output, one ADB connector, external DB-25 SCSI, two GeoPort-compatible RS-232/RS-422 serial connectors, stereo sound input and 3.5 mm headphone/line-level sound output. No standard Ethernet; add a PCI network card. Built-in LocalTalk through serial port
External displays: One external monitor; supported resolution and colour depth depend on installed video-memory DIMM. No built-in display
Speakers: Built-in speaker and 16-bit stereo sound input/output
Microphones: Supports an external Apple PlainTalk microphone; no built-in microphone figure is published
Keyboard and mouse: Original System 7.5.3 and System Enabler 827. Contemporary exact maker ordering description supplies keyboard, mouse, system software and reference documentation; external display and optional network/cache hardware are separate

Type: Compact
Weight: 9.5 kg
Width × depth × height: 385 × 442 × 139 mm
Operating system: macOS
Size and weight detail: Shared Service Source gives 139 × 385 × 442 mm and 9.5 kg, but its corresponding 24 lb figure is inconsistent. Published metric weight retained without conversion; installed equipment changes weight
Power supply: Manually switched mains. Exact support specifies 110/220 V, 47–63 Hz and 150 W maximum; shared Service Source specifies 90–270 V switchable 110/220 V and 200 W maximum excluding monitor. These unresolved maximum-rating differences are retained without treating them as measured operating consumption
In the box: Exact Apple support lists 7 November 1996 as introduction. Apple Tech Info Library dated 18 November 1996 explicitly says the exact 4400/160 is currently available in Europe, supporting November 1996 sale precision without inventing a day. Contemporary German coverage planned availability there for December; regional delivery differed. This is the Europe-only 160 MHz version, not the later 200 MHz or renamed Far East 7220.
