CPU: One 200 MHz PowerPC 604e with integrated floating-point unit, 64 KB level-one cache, 50 MHz processor bus and 256 KB level-two cache; processor is on a removable card
GPU: Built-in video with 2 MB VRAM, expandable to 4 MB. Exact support table gives 24-bit colour through 832 × 624, 16-bit at 1024 × 768 and 1152 × 870, and 8-bit at 1280 × 1024 with standard VRAM; 4 MB permits 24-bit through 1152 × 870 and 16-bit at 1280 × 1024
Memory type: 32 MB standard and 512 MB supported maximum using eight 168-pin 64-bit 5 V DIMM sockets, 70 ns or faster. EDO modules are treated as fast-page memory by the controller; matching DIMMs in corresponding sockets enable interleaving. Apple says 128 MB DIMMs can be used but were not tested. 4 MB ROM
Storage type: 2 GB internal Fast SCSI hard disk, manual-inject 1.44 MB Apple SuperDrive floppy and AppleCD 1800i 12× CD-ROM. One additional internal 3.5-inch storage bay; internal SCSI transfers up to 10 MB/s

Back ports: DB-15 display output, one ADB connector, external DB-25 SCSI, two GeoPort/LocalTalk-compatible serial connectors, AAUI and 10BASE-T Ethernet, 16-bit stereo sound input and output. Both Ethernet connectors share one interface; 10BASE-T takes priority if both are connected
External displays: One external display through built-in video, up to 1280 × 1024; colour depth depends on installed VRAM and compatible monitor
Speakers: Built-in speaker and 16-bit stereo sound input/output

Size and weight detail: Apple Service Source gives 156 mm high, 365 mm wide and 430 mm deep, 9.97 kg; weight varies with installed devices
Power supply: Service Source specifies automatically configured 100–240 V AC, single phase, 50–60 Hz. Exact English support lists separate 100–130/200–270 V ranges; this difference remains explicit. Service Source gives 150 W maximum excluding monitor without distinguishing AC input from DC output, so it is not presented as a measured consumption figure
In the box: Apple lists 17 February 1997 as introduction. Its August 1997 worldwide catalogue lists the 180 and 200 MHz models as current offerings, supporting release year 1997; the actual first-sale month/day remains unconfirmed
