Powerbook G4 12″ Unboxing

Here’s my new PowerBook! Even though I love my little G4, it needs to shape up in the power department! My battery goes wakko (Animaniac geeks will laugh at that) all the time and the power adapter rarely charges the computer. So I’m probably going to be taking my little G4 in to my Apple Authorized Reseller or whatever they are called these days and have them take a look at it and see if a new battery/adapter is in charge. I wish my little PowerBook didn’t have these problems! GAH! Plus all technology hates me today, but that video is still in the editing portion so you should see it soon…

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Hey YouTube – sorry it’s been so long since I’ve made a video. I still aim to upload atleast 1 video a week, but as I say in the video itself, I am extremely busy at the moment. It’s not that YouTube takes a back seat, it’s just that I don’t have time to do everything all at once. Sorry for any incoveneance and I will get back on track soon!
This video is an extremely simple race between my faithful White 2007 MacBook and the good old Powermac G4 MDD 2002.

MacBook Specs:
2.16GhZ Intel Core 2 Duo
1GB DDR2 RAM
120GB HD
Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leoard

PowerMac G4 MDD Specs:
Dual 1.0GhZ PowerPC G4
2GB DDR RAM
1 x 40GB HD (OS And App Drive)
1 x 80GB HD (Files and Backup)
Mac OS X 10.5.8

Both of these Mac’s are running the most up to date OS that they can handle.
This isn’t a 100% fair test, because I have different applications set to open at login on both machines. Also, both machines are plugged into many different peripherals.

Thanks for watching and I hope you all enjoy!

(make sure “HQ” (high quality) beneath the video is selected (highlighted in red) for best results)

For many months after the release of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, everyone thought that installing it on any Mac older than a G4 Sawtooth (the first AGP tower, still far below Apple’s official specification of an 867 MHz G4) was impossible. But finally, it has been done, and here you can see a Beige Power Macintosh G3 booting a fresh installation of Leopard (the retail build of course) for the first time. This is a Mac that originally came with Mac OS 8.0 back in 1997 (mine’s a late ‘98 model, from when the Pentium III was yet to be launched and Windows 98 had just come on the scene…) and Apple dropped OS support after 10.2.8 Jaguar for these OldWorld Macs without built-in USB or FireWire, but today we prove that the Beige G3 still has many many years of life ahead of it as it runs today’s latest and greatest, Mac OS X Leopard. As Apple say, “Add a new Mac to your Mac” with Leopard! It actually runs pretty well for such an old machine too!

(note that if you want to to this with your own Beige G3 you will need a G4 upgrade CPU for it, as Leopard was compiled by Apple without G3 support to try and cut off these awesome old machines and make Leopard an impossibility on them)

Specs:

Sonnet Encore 1 GHz G4 processor
768 MB Ram
ATI Radeon Mac Edition 32 MB graphics card
160 GB 7,200 RPM hard drive
DVD-RW drive
USB card
100baseT ethernet card
Apple Studio Display 15″ LCD screen
Apple Keyboard and Apple Pro Mouse (USB)
