  • great to see someone doing honest work like this =)

  • Your voice is so fucking annoying,try not to talk through your nose you fucking clown.

  • THEY LOOK LIKE TOILET SEATS (just saying)

  • nerd

    

  • @dgman3322 Nerds run the world

  • mmmm he takes old ibooks and turns them into "useable" laptops, where I take "useable" iMac G3 and turn them into living aquariums... 

  • @adric22 do you know where i can buy a new case for my clamshell indigo

  • Question? Why don't you sell these Clamshells anymore?

  • Question? Is there any possible way to upgrade these clamshells to be like a macbook pro? I would love to have one of these clamshells with the new mac insides and upgrades to Lion.

  • @ConstintineVamp24 - Actually, I used to sell these on ebay and I needed a video to put on my auctions to explain what my business was. I do not actually sell these anymore and left the video here purely for informational purposes since people seem to find the video by searching through google and youtube.

  • @adric22  Na I'm not mad it was a joke :P nice response though :D

  • @adric22 why dont you fix them and sell them anymore?

  • Question? How much do you sell your clamshells for? Also when you upgrade them could you remove the cd rom drive and install a cd/dvd drive in it? And upgrade it to OS Lion?

  • I remember when these came out. I wanted one so badly!

    We love you Steve Jobs

  • i want one, so what kind of memory, hard drive, etc. should i upgrade to?

    THNX

  • i wan one, so what kind of memory, hard drive, etc. should i upgrade to?

    THNX

  • I bought one from this guy and he was awesome, he helped me out with any problems I had. Hope to do business with again!

  • I agree with @adric22, : (

  • MY NAME IS DAVID AWESOME

  • why don't you sell these anymore? and is there any way to upgrade the processor, or is it stuck on the motherboard forever like the iMac G4?

  • @wutzerface77 - I don't work on them anymore because the cost of upgrading one means I have to sell it for at least $250 dollars, just to cover my costs. Unfortunately, few people are willing to pay that much being I can sell a fully upgraded iBook G4 for the less than that, which is a far more capable machine.

  • @adric22 That's a shame because I would buy one. I loved these ever since I was a kid!

  • @adric22 i'd buy one for 250$ they are really cool

  • @adric22 Actually there is a pretty decent market for classic pc/mac products out there, and people willing to pay you a good amount for them.

  • Wats your eBay username

  • so i really want a clamshell and i kind of dont trust ebay but for some reason im actually willing to buy one off of you so if thats possible please send me a message.

    thank you :)

  • do the ibook clamshels take SATA harddrives? 

  • It's remarkable how fast computers evolve. My cell phone has a 1GHz processor in it, as powerful as the later snow ibooks :O

  • OMG, awesome! :D I want one :D

  • Hi there! I have a clamshell but it's not working correctly. It's running on 9.2.2 right now and has a airport but it won't connect to the Internet. Would you have any clue as to why it's not connecting? Also, do you think it's possible for me to send you my clamshell to update and restore it? I would of course pay you to do so.

  • where can i buy one of your computers that is upgraded?

  • I am desperate to have an iBook Clamshell, is there anyway that you could make an exception to sell just one more?

    Thank You Kindly.

  • hi, can you tell me if you sell to the uk? Thanks

  • Could someone put OSX Lion on a clamshell?

  • 0:16 oh my gosh!

  • Is there a way I could still buy an iBook clamshell from you?

  • Thanks so much for this info. You have helped me learn a lot in a short amount of time. I just got a Clamshell iBook 466MHz SE Graphite . What a super cool laptop. Jony Ive is an amazing artist. Such unique features; two tone colors, clamshell shape, super tough plastic housing double shod with rubber, designed to stand on end, a handle, yeah, a handle like a briefcase. Even the power supply "brick" is unique and very cool looking. 11 Years old and still can do most modern task. Amazing.

  • @shomosnicholas5 - not me.. I don't sell clamshells anymore. my ebay name is adric22

  • @adric22 do you know anywhere i can find a refurbished ibook clamshll?

  • @shomosnicholas5, You can find them on ebay. Usually under $200 for a decent one. If you want an expertly restored one look up "odds-n-ends4you" on ebay. His cost more but there as good as they get. I bought one of his and I'm very happy. Too bad David doesn't refurb and sell them anymore. Get a 466MHz if u can. There the fastest of the clamshells.

  • i have an old i book clamshell it runs os 9 but only internet explorer 5 works on it, which doesnt support facebook youtube etc so i was wondering how i can upgrade it to os x or os 10?

  • @linkinparky1 There's a web browser called Classilla, and it is a web browser made especially for Mac OS 9. It supports newer web pages such as Facebook, so you should give it a try.

  • @stonecrestmovies OK thanks ill try that out

  • do you still have some in stock?

  • How much money do you spend when you buy your iBook's in bulk?

  • whats the highes os it can run

  • Yeah like all the other people said what is your eBay name cause I don't want to get ripped off

  • I have a Key Lime iBook with 466MHZ can it run 10.4.11 also? I think it would I just don't want to fry my piece of Apple history.

  • @gemmyfreak2871 - yes it will run it.

  • I have an original 300mhz tangerine ibook and it only has 64mb of ram but I installed OSx 10.1 it works very slow so you can use less the 256mb

  • wow, i gotta tell my friend how valuable his graphite special edition ibook is O_O

  • OMG I can't wait til mine comes, just bought a graphite 366 mhz (comes with 192 mb ram, will upgrade when I get some extra cash) and I already have a hard drive to replace the stock one

  • I just bought one of these off of craigslist, without a powercord, waiting for the power cord though from amazon.

  • Can you give me a link to your ebay account?

  • I've recently found an old iBook G3 Clamshell in my attic, which apparently used to belong to my grandparents. Its the Tangerine model, and i decided i wanted to upgrade it a little. So far, i plan to add an airport card and 512 mbs of RAM. I don't know which hard-drive to get though (more specifically, which hard drives will work?) Any suggestions?

  • i have a iBook Clamshell graphite and the mhz 466 and i like it to have a biger hard drive in it so it can do tiger do u no were i can get it from and do i need to upgrade the ram

  • I think the Graphite model looks like a black and white picture of a Blueberry iBook :)

  • it looks very unique what is your name on ebay

  • I want a frickin clamshell

  • still looks really nice in this days

  • You sir, are great. I have a love for all macs dating back to the original macintosh, up the iBook and iMac G3. I rebuild them for my own personal use, and then once i have a little bit of money, to sell. I've never actually had an iBook, but i'd love one...

  • the mouth os this guy is funny... he looks a muppet!

  • I love the clamshell and know as much as you what is the address for your website? How much do you sell these iBooks for? Please contact me via email ilyninja_bablsabl@live.com

  • Oh my god. What is your ebay? I've been wanting one of these so badly

  • These are so cool. I used to have that green one, then i sold it. What a mistake. Why cant they make anything colorful and unique like that? If the operating system could do all that macs can do now. I would buy this in a heart beat. I would like to have one...again just to have. Because they are kind of a collectors item. Now i feel sad.

  • Where is the cheapest place to find a good new IDE HD for one of the clamshells?

  • i want a ibook clamshell, i just can't find from u

  • I love the key lime ones just there so expensive and there not upgraded I would like to get more ram for my g3 800 MHz iBook snow

  • @RichieRich1986 - The target buyers of these computers are typically those who like retro computers, but they are useful for more than just writing. For example, you can do email and play a good amount of older games on one.

  • @adric22 can u upgrade it to make it run youtube and facebook and stuff like that?

  • @dontouchmybubble Not really. If you have a 466 Mhz Clamshell, max out the ram, and install Camino. You MIGHT be able to play youtube videos in 240p. Facebook is possible as long as you don't play any of the flash games on there.

  • @RichieRich1986 lol wrong.

    This computer is from 99/2000 or so. You think all people did with computers then was write?

    Idiot.

  • These are awesome. its nowhere near my macbook pro, but a nice collectible.

  • Great video! Very informative. To bad you can't add this video to your eBay auctions. I rebuild Clamshells too. I really love them. Great info for general public. Glad to see that I've been doing everything right. Thanks much for all the info.

  • So, potentially investing in this would just mean I'm buying something "pretty" rather than something that I can actually use for... serious business, ha-ha. Man, what a shame, I love how these look! How do you update them? What's the highest operating they can run with your configurations?

  • @EvilAsa93 - Clamshells can go up to 10.3.9 or 10.4.11 depending on which CPU.

  • @adric22 do you do trades?I have a 366mhz blueberry g3! in almost perfect condition!Im looking for a late g4.

  • ive always wanted one !! sell me one !!

  • @GICTechTV you need a mbp for that job

  • Awesome! I remember using these in elementary school(I am a college sophomore now) and remember begging my parents to buy me one of these! So I'm searching eBay to purchase one now, to fullfill my childhood lol. Hopefully it has oregon trail on it! lol

  • can you make a few other new videos of the snow ibbok 2nd gen with 10.4 ? I just ordered mine and want to learn about the os. Thanks!

  • hi im Mike. from Nyc. i have a blueberry/clamshell. Mac Os X - version 10.1.5 -Memory 288 MB Processor. Power Pc G3. i would like to Know How conecting to Wi-Fi. or i need repair this Laptop. thank You. Mike.

  • Oh damn, I wanna get one of these. These models are one of the funkiest laptops I've ever seen :)

  • why would any morons buy this today?

  • @bludika - They are collectible. Unfortunately, some morons do buy them from me thinking they are just a colorful MacBook, despite how much effort I put into explaining otherwise.

  • @bludika check your grammar you dumbass!!!!!!

  • How much are you willing to sell a tangerine one for?

  • i just picked one up for 45 bucks on craigslist its in pretty good conditon

  • Theres a 466 key lime on ebay right now

  • can you watch youtube 720p with lo lag on an powerbook g4 1GHZ ? ? ? with 512 MB ram, im planning to buy one on ebay
