An internal expansion slot was also available for installing a variety of modules including Ethernet and video cards to drive a second monitor in mirroring or dual-screen modes. Although a significant advance over preceding portable Macs, it is quite common to see the PowerBook 5300 series listed as among the worst Apple products of all time.
