Apple's Strange 14-inch iBook G4

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.

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.

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 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

@Dreams_Of_Lavender 5 ай бұрын

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.

Amazing how it manages to play KZbin 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.

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

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.
