    These iMacs are great. I have a 2015 quad core 21.5 that I used as my daily driver last summer with a 500gb ssd. Perfectly useable and it runs Monterey natively. Now it's my backup server but they're great devices. You really need to get the fixit opener tool that looks like a pizza cutter in order to take the display off, it's well worth the money to save that screen from any potential cracks

    I found one of these in the trash @ my old job. I cleaned it up, replaced the HDD with a 512GB SSD & upgraded the RAM to 8GB (I kept the OS on it as High Sierra). It's a good laptop to use for web browsing.

    I have mine 13 inch still, it works but today I put another batterie in it and replaced the HD with a SSD of 256Gb and installed Linux Mint 21.3 Mate on it. Works much better and is very useful now. Some years ago I put 8GB ram in it but OSX is very slow, so no thanks GNU-Linux is much better.

    Installing 10.5.9 is a good starting point. There isnt TLS1.3 so your going to have to compile that in order to get on most websites. Its VERY possible to achieve what your after, you just have to go old school and compile everything. Retro-Arch, NextCloud, and more can be achieved if your creative and patient enough. A device is only as old as the software running on it... Beautiful machine btw...

    Welcome to the world of Apple G4 laptop computers. Over a decade ago, I picked-up off of Ebay a 12-inch G4 PowerBook. Daily, I would carry it to the office and use it to watch both DVD movies and RUclips videos during my lunch break. For productivity, I had iLife '09, iWorks '09, Appleworks, and Microsoft Office installed. In addition, on the PowerBook line the Apple logo on the top "lights-up" whenever, the unit is powered on (smile...smile).

    I have the 17-inch early 2008 version bought it used for $200 in 2018, it was in really good condition with a couple scratches only on the outside body, the keyboard, speakers, screen, mousepad, camera, disc drive all in excellent condition. I wiped and updated it to El Capitan, installed an additional 2gb ram in total of 6gb (you cant go any higher than that), the hard drive failed after a month or two so I installed an SSD, bought a 3rd party battery to see if it would last longer but works exactly like the OEM battery that I have. The laptop gets a bit hot depending on the surface its on and what your doing on the laptop. I played half-life 2 with all settings maxed out and it works like a charm. I also have a macbook air M1 but am currently typing this comment on my early 2008 macbook pro ;)
