Powerbook G4 15 "
Posted by: bibilit on 2016-10-24 12:36:04
I collected this evening a 15" Powerbook G4 complete and working for just 5 euros....

Was supplied complete, including carring case and PSU, and was in my home town.

After a proper installation, Leopard is working great.

Just some dust to remove,a corner is slightly bent, but no big deal.

Most of all, is the 1,5 ghz variant.

posting with it right now.

Congrats Luis! That's one nice Powerbook you got there on the cheap. Honestly I didn't know you get one for as less as 5€!

How's the web expierence with it? I have a 1GHz iBook and the web is dreadful.

Pretty good, for an old boy of course.

I concur.

My 1.67 GHz A1106 is quite pokey, but decent enough in a pinch.

Even my 12" 1.33 GHz PowerBook, which is somewhat similar to the iBook, is okay.

The web experience today sucks with anything not a dual core (especially video heavy). Still for browsing forums a G4 powerbook isn't too bad. The high rez 15" PB G4 is pretty nice.
