Apple's Strange 14-inch iBook G4
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Apple typically doesn't make a larger version of their budget laptops, except for when they did back in 2003... (and also 2023!)
I'll be looking at how eerily similar the 14" iBook is to the 15" MacBook Air.

The A, N and L keys are the most worn, I wonder what they were searching for so often to do that? 😆
OH GOD…

Your rendition of the intro/setup song gave me a chuckle. That was great!
The 14 in. iBook G4 takes me back to college (university) 2005. I had the 1.42 GHz model customized with an 80 GB HDD and later a RAM upgrade to 1.5 GBs. I carried that thing everywhere with me on campus. After college, I continued to carry the iBook around with me at work. Sadly, I dropped that iBook in 2008 causing it have a small crack near the center bottom of the display. Finally, in 2011, I dropped the iBook again and that time the entire display went and that was the last time I used it.

Good to know actually
You can skip the registration info step on older versions of OS X if you press Command + Q
That’s IF it’s Mac OS X 10.4 and up
Older then 10.4 then no
@@RaysGamingChannel2003 definitely works as far back as 10.2 Jaguar
@@joshr2d2it does? How did I not know that
Just say CMD + Q
You don’t gotta be extra

Okay I am very upset this channel was never recommended to me until now. Love your channel already :)
Had one of these. Did my uni essays on it in like 2008. Got the job done
One thing that can be done with Apple laptops with dud/dodgy keyboards is to position a Bluetooth keyboard on top of the existing one: the feet on the BT keyboard neatly straddle the built-in keyboard without depressing any keys. You also get a sloped typing angle. I have used this trick with 12 and 14-in iBooks, 12, and 15-in PowerBooka and a pre-unibody 15-in MacBook Pro.
I do that on my windows laptop :)
I do have a iBook G3 of the same size and despite it being a snow model its not white but rather gray and has a fancier font for the iBook logo
Yeah, most of the Snow G3 iBooks were a translucent white plastic with a silvery palmrest and transparent keyboard. My G3 is a 500MHz 12" from 2001.
4:40 fun fact. the ibook g4's bigger screen does plug in and work fine on the smaller powerbooks LOL
The WASD keys are completely worn! The previous person who had it really did a lot of gaming on it.
got the 14inch ibook and i love it
It’s always a good day when frokfrdk uploads🎉🎉🎉
I’ve got one of these in very good condition, and a 12” Powerbook. Pieces of Apple history rather than things I use.
"little boy, big boy!"
Amazing how it manages to play RUclips at... almost 10 frames per... minute... I had the 12" version back then, it's still somewhere in my parents' house. Maybe I'll play around with it some day. It might be able to run some lightweight Linux or BSD and be actually usable then.
I once replaced the power plug of a 14-in G4 iBook because the cable had worn through too close to the plug to be repaired. Turns out the plug is a 2.5mm stereo audio plug of tip-ring-sleeve configuration. The tip has no power connection, the ring is 24 volts negative and the sleeve is 24 volts positive. The metal tube surrounding it is to prevent silly people from inserting the 24 volt power supply into an audio port.
My "fix" worked in that the laptop charged but there was no multi-coloured illuminated light around the face of the connector that met up with the body of the laptop.
6:42 it's a UK power cable
Though that plug is also used in Hong Kong and Malaysia too.
i remember running minecraft at 5 fps on my 2005 eMac back in minecraft beta 1.7.3
Psivewri would be proud to see somebody else had cleaned their laptops with eucalyptus oil =))
I haven't even gotten to the laptops he sold me yet ;)
@@frokfrdk That's quite exciting for me, have they been covered in his videos before?
Fork for dog never fails to rip our heads off😍😍😍
Love your content, I'm already in your server and boosted it, tho it's interesting to see a macbook display size *THIS* big, currently using a lenovo legion laptop that has 15 inches.
Forgot how chunky the old iBooks were!
underrated channel
As always good vids
it's wild to think there was a time where we had to buy new MacOS releases
you can just change the key caps by removing from 12 inch to 14 inch. One more thing i will recommend is to upgrade the ram to 1.5gb
I have bad luck with laptop keycaps, I end up breaking the switches
@@frokfrdkSame
How well does this MacBook run with MorphOS? And can you get Minecraft running on MorphOS?
should had watched this on my 1st intel imac
This channel is awesome
Limiting FPS to 60 (or rather the refresh rate of your display) makes the rendering take only as much resources as it needs to achieve 100% performance and not waste resources on rendering frames that will never be displayed.
Only makes sense if you enable vsync or the game just craps out at more than 60.
You:
The iBook she tells you not to worry about:
sometimes i like to chase your mouse around with my mouse on the screen so its like theyre cuddling
i wish i was as cool as this guy
watching this on my 14" apple laptop
minecraft lets play when??
oh, and each episode on a newer machine :P
frog fe duck
This is what it feels like to play Genshin Impact on my laptop: 14:02
I just watched your video on my own 12.1 inch Ibook g4. It was awful, (not the video, the playback. It was unusable. But im going to try other methods.)
The plug is from the UK
Did the previous owner played minecraft on this? 1:46
This plug was or is uk
I wonder how that Minecraft would run with optifine or sodium
This version of Minecraft for PowerPC comes with Optifine pre-installed, it's what helps it run at all
Will you install Adelie Linux on it?
Laptops that changes into an ipad
Command Q skips the setup :p
Du-du-du...
🤣

My 2010 Macbook can run minecraft better than 11 fps. It runs at 40 fps on 1.7.10. This is cool tho!

First lol
Ok and?
@@Holdenwhite17 idk
Congratulations

Him:'This runs it very well at 30 fps'
Me(who gets more than a thousand in that game): seriously?
