Cigarettes. Lots of cigarettes.
No. The movie "Takedown" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159784/,) a fictionalized version of the story of real-life hacker Kevin Mitnick, has been erroneously called "Hackers 2" in bootleg labels and filenames, but the two films are completely unrelated. To further confuse people the film "Antitrust" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218817/) has been sighted in bootlegs labelled "Hackers 3," despite having nothing to do with "Hackers" OR "Takedown." (Who's labelling these things, anyway?)
People also get confused because three soundtrack albums were released for "Hackers," and these albums were labelled "Hackers," "Hackers 2," and "Hackers 3." There were no movies called "Hackers 2" or "Hackers 3," just the three volumes of the "Hackers" soundtrack.

In the 1990s it was fairly common for film soundtrack albums to include songs not in the film, often labeling them as "inspired by" the film instead. This film was no exception, particularly since at the time interest in the techno/electronica scene was just beginning to take hold in the mainstream, and releasing as much of it as they could under the banner of a popular film was easy money for the record labels.
"Phoebus Apollo" by Carl Cox is the only track on the first "Hackers" soundtrack which does not appear in the film. The other two volumes of the soundtrack have many more "inspired by" tracks than film tracks; nothing on "Hackers 2" apart from "Inspection (Check One)" and "Original" by Leftfield appeared in the film, nor did anything on "Hackers 3" apart from the two Simon Boswell tracks.
The 25th-anniversary special edition of the "Hackers" soundtrack has only film-used tracks.

Kate's laptop is an Apple Powerbook Duo 280c according to the prop master book. The script did not match what was used on set. The script stated a P6 chip which referred to the PowerPC 603e processor available for upgrade to the 280c by motherboard swap to the 2300c's motherboard offered direct by Apple. The referenced 14.4kbps modem was not available from Apple but as an upgrade from Global Village as a internal replacement.
Dade's laptop is an Apple Powerbook 540c.
Cereal's laptop (which Joey uses in the phone booth) is a Compaq LTE 4/75
Lord Nikon's laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro. (Which model?)
Joey's computer "Lucy" is an Apple IIGS. (Yes, really; take a close look when Agent Bob is carrying it out of Joey's house.)
The Plague and Hal's computer at Ellingson was an entirely fictional creation of the film's art department.
The Plague's home computer and the school computers were generic PC desktops.
Dade's "luggable" computer from the OTV scene/Richard Gill harassment scenes is a custom prop. The track ball is from an Apple PowerBook 1xx model computer, and the case is a Compaq Portable 486c luggable PC. If it is functional it might be made from the internals of a PowerBook 1xx series computer stuffed into the luggable type case.
Dade's transparent Apple PowerBook Duo was a prototype obtained from Apple. There's a common manufacturing practice known as "clear shot" in which they cast protoype shells in transparent plastic to better examine airflow and dust issues.
Please note that the displays shown on the computers' screens were generally pre-rendered graphics and animation made by the film's art and FX crew, and not representative of what those computers were typically capable of generating or displaying in reality.

During a scene in the Cyberdella Cereal (Matthew Lillard) brought some books to give to Phreak (Renoly Santiago). Dade (Jonny Lee Miller) identifies each book as Cereal produces them from his bag.
1 (Green) International UNIX Environments
There is not enough information to adequately identify the book but its probably part of the IEEE 1003.1 POSIX (Portable Operating Systems Interface uniX) initially created in 1988. Another possibility could be The X/Open Guide created by a company of the same name (initially published in 1989) which expands on the POSIX.
2 (Orange) Computer Security criteria DOD Standards
Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria
Part of the Rainbow Series books published by the US DoD in the late 80s early 90s.
3 (Pink Shirt) Guide to IBM PC's

Dade explains that the book is named after the author wearing a pink shirt on the cover of the book.
4 (Devil) Unix Bible
The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD Unix Operating System by Samuel J. Leffler, Marshall Kirk McKusick, Michael J. Karels and John S. Quarterman.

5 (Dragon) Compiler Design
Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools by Alfred V. Aho, Monica S. Lam, Ravi Sethi, and Jeffrey D. Ullman
Simply named Dragon Book by early computer programmers because of the Dragon depicted on the cover of the earliest edition of the book.
6 (Red) NSA Trusted Networks a.k.a ugly red book that won't fit on a shelf
Trusted Network Interpretation of the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria
Part of the Rainbow Series books published by the US DoD in the late 80s early 90s. Earliest Edition was made in 1987 and featured a red cover.
