Now, I know I can go on eBay right now and buy one of these for $150, but I feel bad for this laptop and feel it needs to be saved! Here is what it has and what it needs: Here is what it looks like in its current condition: This computer looked even worse in person. That mission was to save this poor high quality laptop. So many people waited to buy the new laptop apple were to produce, and not the current model with the PowerPC G4 processor. In mid 2005, Steve Jobs announced that all Macs would be switching to Intel processors starting in 2006.

It was more powerful than the rest and came full of goodies. And to my disbelief, It ended up being the 2005 1.67 Ghz Powerbook G4. When I got the number, I went and searched it up. It seems to set up fine, using the same settings for the servers as on the MBP (it has to be done manually), but it is unable to send mail (via the verizon smtp server). Not so with my wifes old PowerBook G4 running 10.5.8, which she inherited from my daughter.

I was hoping for something like the 1.3 or 1.5 Ghz processor model. Setting up Mail.app with my relatively new MacBook Pro (and OS 10.8.4) was very smooth. I wanted to know if the PowerBook was older or newer, since the laptop has been in production since 2001. Now me, wanting to know everything I can about the computer as possible, asked the seller to send me the model number. Needed a new screen, battery, and charger. The ad said it was a broken Powerbook G4. In a moment of somewhat unexpected nostalgia. Apple's PowerBooks, iBooks, and MacBooks have come a long way in 25 years. Hiya, Im considering getting a Powerbook G4 663 or a Dell Inspiron 4100. A minute or two later and my PB came to life. Today I saw something that I had always wanted, for only $25 USD. The evolution of Appleās laptops, from the PowerBook to the MacBook Pro. These are my iBook G4 and my PowerBook G4 17, the iBook is a recent acquisition but the PowerBook was a Christmas gift from the wife a long time ago, I recently thought was done for, on a whim I tried the 45W iBook charger in the PB and the LED came on.
I was on my local craigslist doing a search of Apple products like I do around every week. The only thing is, this Mac has an ugly past. And just today, I have taken another mac to put under my wing. The second one was a 2005 Rare HP iPod Mini. The first one was an excellent condition PowerMac G5 1.8Ghz Dual CPU. Especially the models from 2000-2005 (PowerPC Models). I especially love the older Apple products.
