- GPU
- ATI 264VT-A4S2 graphics controller; North American launch configuration has 2 MB video memory, expandable to 4 MB. Supported resolution and colour depth depend on the fitted video-memory DIMM
- Memory type
- Three 168-pin 3.3 V unbuffered EDO DIMM slots, maximum 160 MB; slot 1 takes single-bank DIMMs. August 1997 Apple Facts incorrectly describes onboard RAM and two slots; the exact support table and developer note specify three slots
- Storage type
- 2 GB IDE hard drive and 1.44 MB SuperDrive floppy drive. Original North American configuration has an 8× CD-ROM; Japan lists 12× and August 1997 Apple Facts lists later 12× or 24× configurations
- Expansion slots
- Two PCI slots, one accommodating a 7-inch card and the other a 7-inch or 12-inch card; separate Comm Slot II. Optional PC Compatibility Card occupies a PCI slot and is not included in these configurations

Design and power
- Type

- Weight

- Width × depth × height
- 385 × 442 × 139 mm
- Operating system
- macOS
- Size and weight detail
- Technical Information manual gives 139 × 385 × 442 mm and 9.5 kg, varying with hard drive and optional equipment; its 24 lb figure is inconsistent with 9.5 kg, so the published metric value is retained without conversion
- Power supply
- Technical Information manual specifies manually switched 90–135 V or 180–265 V AC, 47–63 Hz, 285 W maximum continuous input and 160 W maximum continuous DC output. Support's 150 W maximum conflicts with this; neither is treated as measured operating consumption
- In the box
- North American launch package includes keyboard, mouse and System 7.5.3. Japan lists 32 MB RAM, 12× CD-ROM, Apple Multiscan 15AV display and GeoPort modem; those accessories are not generic standard hardware. Apple records introduction on 17 February 1997 and planned Canadian delivery in March; August 1997 catalogue confirms the model was offered, but an actual first-sale month remains unresolved
