Designing PowerBook (1)

[yvesyvezz]

I wish I could time travel And I'll show them The Macbook Hahaha

[chevyreaper]

mines dead and i watched this and thought damn this was a nice laptop back then darn it dont work any more

[adryanv]

Even without Ive, these designs were a step above laptops of its time.

[coldfustion]

haha john ive was needed.

Yawn.... talk about drama! Actually I love these type of video but opera music in the background? Apple.... you did well when you switched to white plasic and metal

[NitekMuscle]

This was a very good design for the post-'Snow White' design era of Apple.

[stevelexmeister]

why you people look at this as a stupid thing just because apple designed it.....this is like the beginning of technology.....it's like when gas engine were invented ....every single company contributed to get to what we see today.

[anotherU2fanboy]

mm let me just analyse this, you're criticying the people that are watching this video (but you're one of them dumbass xD), besides, from my perspective, I think most of the people would look for this video not just because invented it, but because it was one of the first laptops that were ever created

[SjPedro]

the little "legs" could be useful on today's laptops i mean.....with AMD Turion x2 processors heating as much as they do......it could be useful lol

[NCISBiGtime]

For me, they started to became awesome in these things when they created machines with strong processors and tech, a great design by Jon Ive and, specially, the integration of OS X (Panther, Tiger, Leopard)

I owned a PowerBook 150 and by today's standards, it was a really primitive computer. It didn't even have a modem or a color screen and you couldn't watch movies or listen to music on it. Also, the backlight on the monitor quit working after 2 years and I took it to an Apple dealear and I was told it would be more expensive to fix the monitor than it would cost to buy a new computer.

[adryanv]

I'd love for Apple to do a same feature length special similar to this for the current Apple portable line.

[pt0016]

lol, make it thicker

[Imprezaman555]

1) horrible music

2) I will give apple this, it was a pretty inovative design

3) just about everything made under scully was crap!

[EuroCarfan00]

almost like Microsoft, right?

[Imprezaman555]

what do u mean?

[EuroCarfan00]

well, you did say things under John Sculley were crap, and then I said, like microsoft, meaning things were like boring back then.

[Imprezaman555]

well, there was linux, but it didn't have a gui yet so it wasn't all that interesting, i think the computer world did back then what the economical world is doing now. things got much better though, steve jobbs is back and making... "entertaning" creations, ms is teasing every1 with screenshots and release dates of win7, and the linux community is thriving in a period of exponential growth.

[JohnGaltAustria]

Apple had way more culture than today!

[msorn3]

The music really makes this video hard to listen to.

[sayfaylo]

old-school!

[EuroCarfan00]

if Steve Jobs was CEO back then, the we would have the PowerBook with more transparency and colors.

[TheAdrianShow]

Yes!!! Opera!!!

[Crossaxel412]

opera? What the crap?

[thebittenmac]

Very interesting video.
