The PowerBook 1400 (codename "Epic") was a notebook designed and sold by Apple Computer in the mid- to late 1990s as part of their PowerBook series of Macintosh computers. It was introduced in November 1996, the first new PowerBook since the ill-fated PowerBook 5300, and what became Apple's low-end notebook when the more luxurious PowerBook 3400 was introduced in February 1997. It was itself discontinued in May 1998, with the PowerBook G3 Series (known as "Wallstreet"/"Mainstreet") filling the market segment. The 1400 is especially notable for being the first notebook computer with a "built-in" CD-ROM drive (which was actually located in a swappable module that could also hold other drives like Zip drives instead). Another notable feature of the 1400 is the lid, which includes a cover for storing papers, business cards, and sheets with patterns purchasable from Apple. Several internal components of the 1400 were also expandable or changeable. The RAM was easily user replaceable and could be stacked allowing the addition of a second RAM chip without replacing the first. The CPU could be replaced either with a faster CPU from another 1400 or later with a PowerPC G3 processor from third party vendors. A video out card could also be added to models that did not have one when first sold.

There are two main models of the 1400, the 1400c and the 1400cs. The difference between them is the display: both are 800x600 pixel 11.3-inch color LCDs, but the 1400c uses an active matrix screen, while the 1400cs uses a more affordable dual-scan screen. In addition to the choice of screens, the 1400's PowerPC 603e processor was available in three speeds, 117 (the same speed as in the PowerBook 5300ce), 133 and 166 MHz. All of the six possible combinations were available for some time. The model was labeled on the front, below the LCD. For example, if a 1400 had an active matrix LCD and a 133 MHz CPU, then the model would be Powerbook 1400c/133
