==Design== The 2300 was the last Apple product to carry any vestige of the [[Snow White design language]], which Apple had been phasing out since 1990. Drawing heavily upon improvements made to the original [[PowerBook 140]] design, the Duo series continues many of the styling traits of the [[PowerBook 100]], which is approximately equivalent in size and weight. In addition to the Snow White features, the Duo takes the 100's radius curves a step further along the display top, front, and sides, and which is also heavily mirrored in the various docks. ===PenLite=== [[File:Apple PenLite prototype, 1992.jpg|thumb|Apple PenLite prototype (1992)]] The PenLite was an early [[tablet computer]] prototyped by [[Apple Inc.|Apple Computer]] in 1993 around the same time as the [[Apple Newton]]. It was not a PDA but rather a complete computer. The project was canceled in 1994 due to its similarity to the Newton.<ref name="PenLite">{{cite web |url=http://www.applegazette.com/mac/httpwwwapplegazettecomwp-adminpostphpactioneditpost272/ |title=Apple Prototypes: 5 Products We Never Saw |author=Michael |date=November 27, 2006 |work=AppleGazette |publisher=Splashpress Media |access-date=November 28, 2006}}</ref> The PenLite was based on the PowerBook Duo and was meant to be a tablet-style addition, with a [[stylus (computing)|stylus]] as the input device.
