    Here is the listing:

    APPLE14IBOOK (dot) tk

    ( i had to shorten it or it wouldn't post the comment)

  • pt 1:

    PLEASE REPLY!!!

    I've been on ebay trying to find a cheap ibook to be my first mac. I had my heart set on what i assumed to be a g4 for $250 in good shape with a 60GB HDD. then i looked at the pictures in the description of the item and i noticed the translucent keyboard and it did not say g4 under the sceen. however, the picture above the description did say g4. i checked out this video and noticed the 1.33GHZ. thats what this is. you can check out the listing here:

  • I thought you were talking about the laptop itself. Geeze, what's with the attitude? And no I can't because I have AGCs not paypal money.

  • Sorry, because it's about $80 cheaper on Amazon. I'm trying to save money.

  • @FR3SHxTUHxD3ATH - The most expensive piece of RAM I sell is $49. How can it be $80 cheaper? Does that mean Amazon gives you $31 along with free RAM?

  • Would you be able to help me find good RAM and a HD on Amazon for the iBook I want? I'm a first time user, and don't want to spend money that I don't have only to find out I can't use it.

  • @FR3SHxTUHxD3ATH - Why not just buy it from my website?

  • @FR3SHxTUHxD3ATH yeah buy it from a reputable shop, or become a member of a mac forum they could help you out, as im also a semi newb to mac, i get tons of help from mac forums. Just my two cents

  • Now, I'm looking to buy a older generation Apple Laptop. If I get a G3, or G4, can you put ANY brand name RAM into it, or ANY brand name external HD? Like can I put something that I put into my PC into the G3 or G4?

  • @FR3SHxTUHxD3ATH - As long as it meets the required specifications, yes. RAM is tricky because there is a lot of cheap junk on eBay that is not compatible because it doesn't meet ALL of the specs.

  • @adric22 compare them with macbook and macbook pro's newest models

  • On the ibook G3 does the apple glow ? logo on front ??/

  • @WeSuckGAMING - You are gravely mistaken if you think you can find a G4 1.33 Ghz with 1 GB of ram, in like-new conditoin, with a 30-day warranty for $40... I'm not going to argue with you anymore, this is a retarded discussion. You might as well be going to a used car dealer telling him his car (being sold at kelly blue book value) is a rip off because some guy in ebay is selling the same model for 1/6 of the cost without giving any details. You just don't know anything about business.

  • @WeSuckGAMING - I sell 10x more units on ebay than I do my website.. I sell them even cheaper on my website since there are fewer fees for me to pay. They can't be that much of a rip-off or people wouldn't bid on them.

  • @WeSuckGAMING - Can you show me another site selling the same products with the same configuration, condition, and 30-day warranty for less money?

  • I bought an iBook g4 for $200 it looks cool but I don't really like it that much because all of my favorite programs run on intel only, hey iBook guy, do you have any macs with intel processors you sell?? Please let mr know soon. :)

  • nice

  • I'm looking into getting my first Mac EVER ( I don't want to spend a whole lot) So I was thinking of getting one of these ibook on Ebay to play around with. For a first Apple computer should I just go for the g4 or just get a cheaper g3. I wouldn't be doing much other than internet and maybe word processing. Any help would be appreciated :)

  • @yogi2011 - Well, you saw the comparison so I guess you know what the differences are. Both systems are pretty obsolete and won't give you a good impression of a modern mac, but it would give you a feel for the operating system (as long as it were loaded with an up-to-date version) You can buy cheap G4 systems on my website. ibookguy dot com.

  • @yogi2011 I think you should but the iBook g4, not only because superior speeds, but also for the superior technology that is implemented on it, which will make your life much easier and compatible with everyone else's computers and networks, saving at first isn't always the best because for a bit more you can buy a way more advanced computer and end up saving less on external accessories. Besides the iBook G4 life span is much longer than the G3.

  • @yogi2011 don't get one they are the slowest things ever just don't buy a laptop because it looks good

  • will the g3 ac adapter work for the g4 adapter because im going to buy a g4 off ebay without ac adapter and earlier i bought a g3 with a ac adapter

    plz reply

  • @otheriandrewrs - Yes, they are the same.

  • @adric22 Does the G3 have video out? I know its not HDMI, but I thought it did have video out. - reply greatly appreciated. Thanks

  • @thetechreviewer97 - Yes, but it requires a special adapter cable. Same with the G4 and MacBook. I think some of the powerbook models actually have a DVI port on them.

  • I am buying an iBook G4 very soon. I want a compact on the go laptop. This thing seems timeless! Everything about it is awesome!

  • I was wondering if you could buy a hard drive that connects through the USB and use it as your main hard drive. Then save the programs onto the USB hard-drive? Then barely use any ram.

    Please respond-

    Isaac

  • @IsaacMillerALT - I know you can with a firewire drive, but I'm not sure what the advantage would be.

  • If I did connect the USB hard drive to it, Then load snow leopard onto it. Could I then install final cut pro and edit programs.?

  • @IsaacMillerALT - Not on a G3 or G4. You need at least an Intel CPU to run Snow Leopard. You can run Final Cut Pro 5 on top of Leopard on a G4 pretty well.

  • @adric22 Thank you very much for replaying.

    I'm getting a G4 tomorrow and I'm trying to tell my Dad that $280.00 is a really great price for a Mac but he will only let me get it. If it can install "Final Cut Express 4" Because of Film School I have to have a Final Cut program. I was wondering if "Final Cut Express 4" could run on a G4? I'm getting one with 1.25 GB and 1.33 ghz from what I hear it might be able to, but I don't want to spend $280.00 dollars for something that might run it.

  • I have a G3 iBook 700. The CPU can be clocked to different frequencies. I keep it around because it can run OS9 natively and I have some old apps on there.

    Random question but what's the background music in your video?

  • I also like tray loading drives much better than slot loading ones. The stupid drive in my MacBook Pro failed TWICE because of this buggy mechanism. I hate that…

  • I purchased one off ebay for 40.00$ flat. No keyboard or Wifi, Charger, and OS, but these are all things I could get from my older iBook G3 Clamshell, as I have everything, even the Mac OS X 10.2 Installation Disks.

  • hey, i got a quick question. can i upgrade my 933mhz g4 ibook from 256 memory to 1gb? thanks alot!

  • @nicknasty14 - You can upgrade it to 1.25 GB max.

  • @adric22 ok, thank you. will it be decent speed? i might upgrade it from panther to leopard, as im hearing you need at least 1gb of memory and 866mhz and up to do this. do i need to do a firmware update first before i do any of this, and do i just pop the old memory out and put the new one in, nothing else? this ibook will be being used for youtube, surfing internet and downloading music mostly. thx again!

  • @adric22 will the g3 ac adapter work for the g4 adapter because im going to buy a g4 off ebay without ac adapter because i have a g3 with an adapter

    plz reply

  • thank you for commenting back

  • i'm getting a g3 ibook with mac os x 10.2 for $129. Tell me if I got a good deal

  • @lestert03 - Ugh... not really. I suppose if the RAM is upgraded to 640K, it might be worth it.. but you seriously need to upgrade the OS because 10.2 is pretty ancient. Almost no software will run on that. You need to 10.3 MINIMUM, preferably 10.4

  • dude that was great

  • i still use a g3, i managed to find a place that sells 1 GIG! of sd RAM and a 160 GIG! hard drive for it, works like a dream..

  • @StainOnTheWall - So you are saying you put a 1 GB module into an iBook G3? I've never heard of this being possible.

  • hey everyone i just got an ibook g3 laptop and i want to make it faster and upgrade it too..

    with different kind of progams if someone can please help me that would be nice.

    and also the interent doesnt work....

  • @yayayay26

    First of all your missing an airport card buddy xD you cant connect wirelessly without one, second of all, you need to upgrade your hard drive, and sd ram.

  • I am just wondering, I am thinking about buying an iBook G3 or G4 and I would like to know, can you use a 250 gigabyte external hard drive? This may be a dumb question, but I am not that tech savvy.

  • How can I put Leopard on my G4? Every time I want to do something on the internet, it says that I need at least 10.5 to download stuff and watch YouTube and etc.

  • my laptop got 1.73 GHz . lol my laptop is lot better.

  • hey bro i gotta question what can i change on G3 so it ll be just like this new onec...? not like exactly but like update it... i wanna know whats are the best option to update this... like the hard drive which is the best hard drive that i can put it on this...? and whatelse can i change on this how can i get more memory how can i get wifi faster u were sayin that that aircards are slow huh?

  • I also like the tray load more.

  • what is the song in this wideo

  • what song is in this video

  • The tray loading drive looks sweet xD

  • Also late model G3 iBooks have an identical white case to the G4s - Mine, for example, looks identical to the G4 on the right, apart from the transparent keyboard.

  • @ThePhoneUpdate bbuutt u could use a ibook g3 keyboard with a ibook g4 keyboard or ibook g4 keyboard with ibook g3 keyboard

  • Thank you for answering!

    

  • What happen if u put leopard on a iBook g3

  • @16dbaxter - I won't install.

  • @16dbaxter if it was a g4 it would install but g3 would have to be the 900mhz version

  • what is the address for your website my friend wants 2 know

  • I am planning on buying an Ibook G3 on ebay. My cousin told me that you can not upgrade the computer to snow leopard, but my brother says that you can, and I don't know which one is correct. Can you install snow leopard on an Ibook G3?

  • @cycle50fifty - You most definitely CAN NOT install snow leopard on a G3. In fact, you can't even install regular leopard. Best you can do is Tiger. But I think I went over that in the video.

  • @cycle50fifty

    Snow Leopard only works on Intel-based processors. The Ibook G3 has a powerpc G3 processor... Therefore Snow Leapord does not work.

  • I wish the iBook had a webcam.

  • My Aunt just gave me an ibook and its an old version which i believe would be a G3 its 10.2 and I need to know if Airport cards still work for this computer?

  • @MisssLaina - It will work, but it is 802.11b so the wireless is slower and it only works with WEP encryption (not the newer WPA2)

  • are you still using an ibook or a macbook?

  • I'm thinking about getting a ibook. which one should I get?

  • @gamerkyle123 ibook g4

  • will both work(well)for making music??(recording with programs like garage band)

  • this vid is awesome i have a g4 ibook and it runs great and it has leopard in it

  • Are You The Guy Thats Getting 400+ for g3 Ibook On Ebay?.. If So Wow.. I Want In lol

  • Nope. I usually only get about $200 for a G3.

  • G3 is just way too oldschool at this point....

  • Depends greatly on what you are using it for. But you are right - It is probably too underpowered for 75% of the general public.

  • g4 is better i got 4 g3

  • the g3 was always so cool to me-although i do not own one, i used them all the time in elementary school. but one thing's for sure, I will always be a PC guy.

  • whats that hard drive cube?

  • Thank you...just the info that I need. Just bought a beautiful G3,

  • does g3 have garageband,imovie,iphoto, just like g4

  • Those are just software programs, they don't even come with the computer, you have to buy the iLife suite of software to install those. The G3 can run iLife '05 as the newest version. The G4's can run '06 and parts of '08.

  • I own an iBook G3 and is very useful, I use Mac OS Tiger 10.4.11 on it.

  • i bought an ibook g4 on my friend's office at 50 $!!! It's great!

  • Hi, I have a question on whether or not to get these ibooks. Some one in my city is selling an ibook g3 for $40. Sounds like a good deal but the battery is dead, it has the yoyo charger which the connection has been resoldered(he says it works though) and the hinge on the screen has poped out and so the display sits at an angle, and the dvd/cd drive doesnt work. Everthing else does though. it has 500 MHz g3, and 128 MB of ram. Should i get it? Thanks.

  • Uhh... well, sounds like that unit is just about worth $40 then.. The price sounds about fair.

  • cool .... my cuz is giving me hers next week!!!! but i like my black macbook too i think this will be a good portable computer :0

  • What's wrong with the NEWER MacBook

  • Nothing is WRONG with the Macbook.. it just isn't what this video is about.

  • ok  apple

  • I think if anything this video is to help those who cannot AFFORD a $999 MacBook, or want to hold on to those older sentimental computers. These computers can perform most of the tasks as the MacBook can do anyways...

  • To sum up, that's called nostalgia. :D

  • very nice video, i've seen that the ibook g3 actually is fast on the web, so i'm assuming that the g4 is a lot faster (maxed out)

  • But can I use the iBook g3 with my iPhone 3g? I mean can I do my iPhone updates, or load it with music via iTunes? I bought an iBook from eBay, will be getting it Monday hopefully :).

  • how much did u pay for the ibook on ebay?

  • Great video

  • can a g4 keyboard work in a g3?

  • cool video. i have both and i need to sell one so i wanted to know which is better to keep xD

  • definitely g4 is better

  • g3 is worthless, i'm so glad i got a unibody macbook, the ibook g3 is crap you can't do anything on it

  • Define "anything." I use G3's all the time and do lots of things on them.

  • yea what do u mean

  • youtube is slow, can't run latest software like leopard and ilife :(

  • i realize that now =/ lame for anybody who wants to dev for the iphone. i bought one for 100 bucks but i cant dev on it so im gonna try and sell it for me and make a lil profit on it

  • I own a Polycarbonate MacBook and an iBook G3. I can guarantee you that the G3 is one of the most wonderful computers I have ever owned. You can run almost anything on them.

  • I REALLY LIKE THE G4. BECAUSE  ITS COoLER

    ANYONE SELLING ONE??

  • Great videos, you've helped me greatly :)

  • I have problems accessing your website, everything ok there?

  • I'm re-designing the website.. it should be working in a few days.

  • The first iBook G3's had the coloured cases and rounded lids, I thought all G3's were like that, but clearly I'm wrong, when did Apple introduce the white iBook G3?

  • The White G3s started in May 2001. The ones you are thinking of are the clamshells.

  • I love your in depth videos on the iBooks, they're pieces of history! I hope to purchase a clamshell from you soon!
