| 17" powerbook |
Posted by: waynestewart on 2018-08-31 10:35:08
Was given a 1.67ghz 17” G4 powerbook with 1.5 gb RAM. Hasn’t been used in a while. Came with 3 batteries. One was basically junk. One holds an hours charge and there was a new battery with the plastic still on it. I ran the powerbook for an hour on it and it still showed 3 ½ hours left. I'm starting to run out of closet space for any more Apple laptops.

What is the model and resolution?
I have had bad luck with 17" Powerbooks because the screens tend to have issues (lines).

I didn't know there was more than 1 version of the 1.67ghz 17" powerbook. I'll take a look when I get home. I'm not really a powerbook fan though you'd think that I would be from the amount of them in my closet

Like the 15" model there are indeed two versions of the 17" in 1.67ghz, a DDR/"Low Res" screen model and the DDR2/"High Res". (1440x900 verses 1680x1050)

Both the 15" and 17" HR models use DDR2.

Both the 15" and 17" HR models use DDR2. That's what I said, there are two versions of both 1.67ghz models and a distinguishing characteristic of both is the older one has DDR and newer DDR2.

Dragged it out of the closet long enough to discover that it's the lower resolution model. Also decided to leave the battery out of it while it's stored.

17" is the best...always been sad that Apple doesn't make them anymore.
