Powerbook G4 is the last notebook computer launched by apple before the complete transition from PowerPC chip to Intel chip. This computer was sold from 2001 to 2006 and was welcomed by many consumers A rare 17 inch powerbook G4 prototype was displayed in the oil pipe channel computer clan
In the "Krazy ken's tech misadventures" column of the tubing channel, the anchor showed us a 17 inch powerbook G4 prototype. The most noteworthy part here is that this powerbook has a beautiful red logic board.
Because it is a prototype, this powerbook G4 is decorated with raw aluminum, which is different from the officially released product. Ken pointed out that a large number of "interesting stickers" can help understand the source of each part. Ken also pointed out some handwritten parts, which made the powerbook G4 feel that it was handmade by real people, rather than the "big and magical Willie Wonka factory".
Another difference between this computer and the commercial version is that this prototype does not include the "powerbook G4" written on the display, which is also common in the prototype. He can also open it on this computer running Mac OS X tiger version 10.4.11. It features a 1 GHz PowerPC G4 processor and 512 MB DDR SDRAM memory.
While some prototypes may contain some Apple Developer Software, this powerbook G4 is not. It just installs some third-party applications, and even has a folder called "developer", but there is nothing in it.
