PowerBook G4 17 Inch: Apple’s Boldest Laptop Ever?

What if Apple’s boldest laptop ever still held up in 2025? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the legendary 17-inch PowerBook G4, Apple’s largest and most powerful notebook from 2003. From its sleek aluminum design and massive display to its powerful (for the time) internals, this machine was made for creative professionals. Watch as we restore and upgrade this iconic laptop, replacing the SuperDrive, upgrading to an SSD, reapplying thermal paste, and bringing it back to life with macOS 10.5. We also run modern benchmarks using Geekbench 2, Cinebench 2003, and Xbench and compare it to other G4 Macs using our custom SphereScore system. Plus, we relive the early 2000s with classic games like Wipeout 2097 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and sync it up with a vintage iPod for the ultimate retro Apple experience. Whether you’re into vintage Mac tech, Apple history, or just love restoration content, this one’s for you. 🛠️ Links to upgrade parts and tools used in video: -Arctic MX Cleaning Wipes Link: https://amzn.to/4bA3B1l -Arctic MX-6 Thermal Paste: https://amzn.to/3FBDM4X -128GB M.2 SSD: https://amzn.to/3RXMoFO -M.2 to 2.5 IDE Adapter: https://amzn.to/3Y5wdKc 🎉 Support the Channel for Just $1!
