I would love to see a Macbook like this in 2012 :) There are no more so colorful laptops on the market, except Sony Vaio, but they are only one color :/ Key Lime iBook with i5, 4gb ram and intel 3000 HD. It would be a fuckin' blast!! Apple, make one! I would buy it :)
I run a Toshiba laptop with 4GB ram and dual core processor with Windows 7. I always find myself being drawn back to the Power PC Macs because of the fact that they look so good. I very nearly got an iMac G5 when they were brand new. The only thing stopping me was the price (£799). I settled for a basic Windows laptop. It doesn't matter what you use anyway now, because Apple and other PC hardware vendors use the same components in their systems.
these laptops are just weird for today`s usage, but if upgraded and used for simple things like watching youtube videos, checking emails and reading the news they are fantastic. the work that goes into one of these laptops to upgrade is crazy, new HDD, new RAM, new wireless adapter, bodywork cleaning and at last system upgrading, it will take a begginer a long time to do this
Love the comments as to how it looked like a childrens toy... the first generation iBook was heavily geared toward education, so its looks along with its versatility and durability all played into its success. To this day, although many are long retired, they're still iconic and sought after.
This is probably what you'll end up seeing if you've taken acid in front of your laptop computer... complete with words jumping out at you and a kaleidoscope of iBooks floating around.
I still have an orange one. I switched out the LCD, so now it has a 1024 pixel screen. These are really cute machines, very different and quite fun. They get online easily and most importantly... girls are attracted to them... get a clue geeks!
You guys writing "fail" are hilarious. First of all, you are such trend clones, you are even more so when you use the # in front of it. Bwahahaha. Second, these machines were so much more refreshing at the time than the black "windoze" boring machines that people bought them in droves.
@imanoob4 i will proudly use that laptop in any place , and would not be embarrased at all even today , these bitches got some series style back then , now aple is al silver boring
@blackbird81298 Right. back then, the logo for was *you* to see, so you'd see it properly before you open and after you close your laptop. It made you feel happy to own what was at the time the world's most powerful and versatile laptop. It didn't matter that the logo was upside down when the laptop was open.
Nowadays, the logo is made for *everyone else* to see. It glows and shimmers so that it catches the eye of everyone around you, so they can feel envious of your laptop.
u must read this.once u have started there is no turning back.a little
10 year old girl was raped and murdered in 1945.her body was not found until 1947.then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message.the dead girl appeard in his room haunting him and killed him.if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos in 30 minutes the dead girl will appear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you.well better start to copy and paste.
I don't remember this commercial from back in the day. It's now one of my favs. Thanks for posting!
And it has always bothered me that the Apple is upside-down on these and other pre-G4 notebooks! I think they did it that way so that the apple was facing up when you carried it. I still prefer it the way it is now!
I had an Indigo iBook back in the day. Beautiful machines. I wish I still had mine. I would have it framed and mount it on the wall in my office. It truly was a piece of art!
lol @qtel ... telling someone to go kill himself and throwing random insults at him ? saying you own a macbook and saying you got malware on it (you have to have tried to get some) but shitting on it and saying you hate apple ? anyways. I've owned an early 2007 macbook for 4 years now and it still works really well and I've never had malware on it. Only problem's battery life down to 2 hours and a half. I would've spent more on PCs in 4 years had I bought that. I used them before, never again.
hipsters? seriously....common. I am not that dumb. OF COURSE macs can get malware, every computer gets malware and spyware and the such. The difference between a mac and a windows based computer is that the whole system doesn't go afray because of some malware on the computer. The difference is OS X recognizing it before it's a problem, and windows letting the damage go so far as to needing to replace the entire system...I've been using mac since they had 500kb hd...hipster? Def Not!
i love how all of the "microsoft users" feel the need to defend themselves and their lame ass operating systems. While they spend the majority of their time running virus scans and playing malware tag, us Mac users are using our computers in ways pc people dream of! Well, at least these PC people are trying to keep up...keyword TRYING!
And your OS can't get a virus? You are one dumb fuck. Macs are malware pron too. My brother and me own a macbook pro 15 (2010) and we both got malware on it. Any os can get a virus stupid mac user of course dont know shit about computers so why dont you just kill yourself you lame ass MacOSXfag. Plus its not called "PC" Mac bookpros use the same hardware as dell and hp the only difference is the os you stupid shit. You people are the reason why i dont like apple. To many hipsters.
@SimHarrison mac osx has a lame library of programs for it,with windows you can run about everything......maybe the looks of snow leopard combined with the versatility of windows 7......
@SimHarrison i had my computer for 5 years and it never crashed,and what did run? windows xp,and if you care that you scan every week or so and dont run suspicious programs it could never crash and its not like there havent been reports of macosx crashing,and one time i was in a computer store with an imac on displayand it had the ''you need to restart your computer'' screen.....it was funny...
They should, they could add a lot more features and add new colors. It would be the most colorful Mac laptop in their whole line, since mac is known for white laptops and other companies are starting to add more color options Mac should step in with a redesign of this but keep the assortment of colors on them.
