GPU: 1 MB video memory according to the service specification; external video requires an optional internal expansion card
Memory type: Low-power DRAM, expandable to 64 MB with 70 ns or faster cards; up to two expansion cards can be stacked. Service Source lists 12 MB and 16 MB original configurations; the support table and Canadian July configuration list 16 MB

Battery life (maker's claim): Up to 4 hours
Battery life detail: Removable nickel-metal hydride battery; Apple claims two to four hours depending on configuration and battery conservation. The exact cs/133 service configuration lists 6.7 lb with floppy module and slightly more with CD-ROM. Support gives 2 × 11.5 × 9 inches; the generic service physical table instead converts the height to 54 mm, so conflicting metric thickness is not used
Charger: External 45 W power adapter according to Apple

In the box: Apple support lists System 7.6.1; the July Canadian announcement says System 7.6 or 7.6.1 with full productivity and communications applications. The same announcement replaces the earlier 117 MHz dual-scan configuration with 133 MHz and confirms immediate Canadian availability on 14 July 1997. Support lists introduction on 19 May, while Service Source labels the configuration April; worldwide first-sale month remains unconfirmed, so retail year precision is retained
