PowerBook G3

[venyc82]

Can u tellme how can i restore this computer.

[Taking1n1]

question: can you install osx 10.2 on this as well? My powerbook g3 doesn't have the rainbow sign but i'm dead sure it's a powerbook g3.

[Thanatos1978]

@Taking1n1 , no problem, if you put more ram (2x 256mb lowdensity) wallstreet (I and II) can also run 10.3/10.4 using xpostfacto.

[gircupcakeful]

Wah in mine the hard drive is shot :(

[techyknowsbest]

That dock-esque thing is the control strip

[manthony65676567]

cool vid bro i wish i had vintage macs like that

[UserOfWindowsVista]

Wow, it's really awesome to see such an old laptop still working so good over 10 years later.

[FlightDepartingNow]

stop breathing that loud

Apple's way of designing computers is simply amazing. Just take the iBook G3 and compare it to the PCs of its day. While the iBook is a glossy white, the PCs are very chunky and a dull gray. Apple has been and will always be ahead of the game. :)

[arma182]

Can it run Crysis?

[aryatololHTF]

I think the port in this laptop is more useful than newest MacBook Pro... But, just its speed that makes it is too old computer for me... But it is still one of great Apple Computer's products....

[delliswierd]

This looks like a Dell Latitude C6101! :) BUT I like apple aswell.

[merakko]

i've one of them too, i just posted a vid here on youtube. I owuld modify the title saying "powerboog g3 Wallstreet" it makes it easier to categorize all the devices :)

nice machine

[joggymac]

Noooo darkness, Apple doesn't look good with black

[Dontpickmelast101]

does it get wifi?

[satorianaide]

I have the same one as well running Mac OS 9.1 - but the battery's dead. I'm hoping to spend some cash on it to make it quite useful ^^;

[Chintendoeddman]

Nice I have one too.

[nielkainama93]

i bet we could play games in that meachine XD

[stevensj13]

Can you do a hard drive replacement tutorial? the wallstreet is the only model of PowerBooks I have not replaced replaced everything on and know every inch of, other than the Duo 230 of course :)

[MrSpieldose]

wow that thing is a beast... I have a 13 inch mac book pro so it is just funny to see this....

[berrycoolvideos]

this computer is quite ugly today

[simon1234simon]

@berrycoolvideos that's subjective. i prefer the look of this one over my new macbook pro.

[berrycoolvideos]

@berrycoolvideos your rite this is a classic its good to conserve it ...... later in the years itll be worth lots of money

[tamaskrisztian]

My first computer was the one of the g3 series what`s came out the end of 2000 for about 3200usd , and i bought it for about 750 in 2004 or 2003 not sure still has it ... i love it , mine is the 500 mhz g3 cpu 256 ram ... etc of course , i have a pc 2 as well , but deffinatly , apple is just great as i am ... :D nice video , by the way

[maliknelson28]

Damn that computer brings back memories. First mac i ever had. Good video

[IcyGamma]

I love your videos. I am starting a collection too. I have an iMac G3 Strawberry, an iBook Clamshell Indigo... and my MacBook too I guess.

[A135S4656]

@IcyGamma Black MacBook?

[IcyGamma]

@A135S4656

Naw its white.. :/

[Mordred555]

That "ethernet" on the side is actually a 56k modem ;)

[FASSY524]

Looks like what the windows computers look today! lol

[FruitLoops75]

imo powerbook g3 looks quite ugly - compared to macbook pro.

[leoadventure]

that port is for SCSI devices

[theapplecollector]

Thanks, now I know what it is :)

[Bleich95]

Thats the lombard, I loved those powerbooks, I mean 2 battery slots what more could you want?

[theapplecollector]

Yeah they are pretty cool, but it is a wallstreet model the last with a rainbow apple logo:)

[skeeteralx]

yeah the powerbook that you have is an apple powerbook g3 wallstreet. when they upgraded the powerbook they did small cosmetic changes on the laptop. they got rid of the colored apple logo and replaced it with a solid blue apple logo on the powerbook pismo. they also got rid of the small door on the side of the laptop where your ethernet is. i hope i could have been some help!

[SegaGenesis4100]

yes i would like that very much!!

[SegaGenesis4100]

can u install a ram

[theapplecollector]

Yeah for sure would you like me to do a tutorial Video

[gab1971]

Can you make a bootup test with all of your macs?

[bsasam]

i wish he would

[gab1971]

yes

[SegaGenesis4100]

can u put an airport card?

[theapplecollector]

Unfortunately you cant install an Airport card on these models however, you may be able to get a third party card wireless card into the PC card slot on the side of the PowerBook, but I am not 100% sure.
