What Macs have you always wanted?

[WardC]

PowerBook 540C. I used to dream about that machine, and even now, I'd love to get my hands on one. Such a groundbreaking design.

I am in search of the ultra-rare PowerBook 550c. Supposedly Apple only made these for the Japanese market. They are like a 540c except they are all-black (not grey), they have a 10.4" active matrix screen (larger than the 540c's 9.5"), and they have a full 66/33MHz 68040 processor (not the slower 68LC040 in the 540c). They also come with the PC card cage built-in, I believe. They are super hard to find, and in the 12 years I have been on eBay I have only seen one up for auction, ever. Here are some photos:

(see the Japanese characters on the keyboard??)

[AC Rempt]

I remember reading about the 550. That would be a cool machine to own, but I bet it'd cost a bundle.

[NickVellios]

2.33 GHz MacBook Pro Why: It is the fastest non unibody MacBook Pro with a reliable graphics card.

The 2.5GHz and 2.6GHz non-unibody MacBook Pros didn't receive a batch of faulty NVIDIA chips like the 2.2GHz and 2.4GHz did.

[Mal67]

I'll take a macIIfx. I seem to remember the editor of Aust Macworld buying one of these back in the early 90s' I think it cost him about $10,000 and he had all sorts of plans to use it around the home. I wonder how long he hung on to it for and what he ended up doing with it?
Failing that I'll take a se30. Matter of fact nearly did but the ebayer only accepted pick up no postage :-)

[barsch]

If anybody is interested, I currently have available a IIsi, IIvx, Power Macintosh 7100/80AV New in Box, Quadra 700, LC520 and Power Macintosh 7100/66 to name a few. All work perfectly. E-mail me (seal11@aol.com). If you are looking for something specific, contact me as I specialize in vintage machines.:)

[thejadedmonkey]

I've wanted a 12" Powerbook, but if Apple can release their 11.6" Netbook, I might take that in its place.

[gkarris]

Actually, though, the 12" square screens seem larger than the 11.6" widescreens..

(I have a 12" IBM Thinkpad and the 12" iBook G3)

[barsch]

I deal in old Macs and I have the following working machines in stock if anybody is looking:

iMac G3 SAGE 450 MHz
Performa 638 CD
Quadra 950
G4 Cube 450 MHz (2)

If interested, e-mail me (seal11@aol.com):)

[blunderboy]

I've wanted to have the original Mac, the G4 Cube, one of the colourful iMac G3s, the Pismo PowerBook, and the "lamp" iMac G4, at various times. Apple has gone through so many amazing form factors over the past thirty-odd years.

[OGDaniel]

I've always loved the PowerBook 100 series. And like everyone else I absolutely love the G4 iMacs, and the incredible G4 Cubes.

[applegeek13]

I own:

Powerbook 170: I bought it for 40$, pristine condition. Ironically, the most reliable computer I own. I want another one, so I can cram in netbook guts, and have a Snow Leopard 170. The one I own right now is maxed out.

iMac G3 Indigo: Also in great condition.

PowerMac G4 FW800 2X1.25 My main computer, paired with 23" Cinema HD Acrylic.

I want:

20" G4 iMac
17" Powerbook G4
Xserve Any generation
Xserve RAID.
Pretty much any pre-G3 PowerBook

My old Mac ideology is to have one original, pristine, and then have another modded to the extreme in modern technology. :D

[mkjj]

http://www.renewingmind.com/twentieth/jpegs/Front_with_Logo
20th Anniversary Macintosh. I'd love to have one of those :D

or of course, an iMac G4

http://themonkeycrew.typepad.com/photos/randomness/imacg4.jpg

Got both of those.. and a Cube! :D

[Davy.Shalom]

G5 quad
1 GHz TiBook
1.42 GHz mdd
G4 cube 500
Original Macintosh
iMac G3 snow
PowerBook G4 17"
MacBook Pro 17" (non unibody)
MacBook amateur (unibody)
TAM
iMac G4 20"

[GyroFX]

i just want the 20th anniversary Mac. I remember playing with it at the UCLA student store back in the day and always wanted one...but it was like 8000 dollars at the time...

[lulla01]

I want a maxed out mac pro and all accessories.

25K

[robvas]

The old Macintosh towers looked awesome. Very powerful looking machines.

http://i38.tinypic.com/25alpgl.jpg

The 9600's with the 'power bulge' on the side are even better. And there will always be part of me that wants the pizza-box case 6100.

[cjbriare]

how about every apple product ever made?

That would be one HELL of a collection :D

Also, every NeXT product wouldnt be bad either.

[cherry su]

Power Mac G5 without the innards because I can use the case for my home-built PC! I can have form and function at the same time :D

[In-Correct]

I have 3 imac g3s, one of them is the tray loading CD. I have several Apple laptops needing parts. and an ipod nano 16gb.

Growing up, I always wanted a Pizza Box.

And now I want to add to my collections more ipods, some ipads, and any g3 machine, preferrably laptops since they take up less space and many have SCSI ports. I like g3 imacs also because the tray-loading can load OS 9 very well, and slot-loading can still load OS 9 and they have Fire Wire. I like to use OS 9 as much as possible, but I use Tiger because Opera internet browser is available on it. OS 9 is my favorite Mac OS and also iOS.

[rprebel]

A 20th Anniversary, an SE-30, a Cube, and a IIGS. I'd love to have these.

[dmr727]

I dig these too. I want a 9500, and for some strange reason, a Quadra 800. Not an 840av (I have one), but a straight up 800.

I had a 6100av with the nubus video card driving a second display at one point.
They had a different startup chime, more of a "ding" guitar chord ... opens Mactracker to hear it again :)

[R94N]

I love the G4 and G3 iMacs and the PowerBook G3, own none of them sadly.

[kernkraft]

There are people still waiting for the G5 PowerBooks. Until those machines are out, threads like these should commemorate those heroes in lines in front of Apple Stores...


(I'm kidding, they are freaks.)

[blackburn]

20" iMac G4:D

[raysfan81]

20" iMac G4, 700mhz Snow iMac g3, and Powermac G5 Quad :)

[DolemiteJackson]

I have always wanted a 20th anniversary Mac.

[Anonymous Freak]

A 20th Anniversary, an SE-30, a Cube, and a IIGS. I'd love to have these.

Already have the SE/30 and the IIgs, but the TAM and the Cube would be nice.

[Funkatronic]

A Tangerine iMac G3.

I had a 9500 for a long time. This computer from the mid nineties could handle an obscene amount of memory for the time (1.5 GB), several drives (I had a burner, two 10,000 SCSIs and two boot drives all running at the same time), and two video cards and USB in the PCI slots which weren't even half full.
The daughter board CPU (dual 180 mhz) was swapped out for 300 Mhz and 500 Mhz G3 cards respectively.

The 9500 was notorious for having to remove the motherboard from the case to get at the memory slots, but even that didn't take long after several configuration changes.

[Cassie]

In addition to my first post in this thread...

I must admit I've been missing my 1.33 GHz 12" iBook G4 for a while since I sold it last year in July. Not enough to trade back my netbook for it (I love that little thing :D) but I can see myself buying another one someday just for nostalgia purposes.

Also wouldn't mind a decent spec'd iMac G4 15" if the opportunity came along.

[jbyun04]

A PowerMac G5 but from what I hear it's an absolute power suck. Plus it's just not worth paying the money people are demanding to get for it..

[gkarris]

Don't know is I already mentioned this but a new Unibody Mini is now on my "Apple Collection Bucket List"... ;)

[sysiphus]

Depends on if you're holding out for a specific model. A single-processor G5 in good condition can be had for ~150ish if you look carefully. The DP models start around ~250, though. If you want one, though--do NOT get a liquid-cooled model. The cooling systems were only guaranteed to work for 1 year by the OEM--thus the massive post-warranty fix mess Apple got into with people who dropped $3k+ on towers that started leaking green fluid 13 months after purchase. Even today, if you bring in a liquid-cooled model, you have a chance of getting it fixed, free--although it's not the sure shot it was a couple years ago.

[macgeek18]

I really want a i5,i7 iMac Quad right now,MacBook's just too underpowered.
And a nice 12" PB G4 1.5 would be so awesome. :)

[sysiphus]

I'd love to have a widescreen iMac G4, and a Sage iMac G3--my favorite color for any iMac.

[qawes]

The successor to the current one.

+1

[JG271]

I've always wanted a powermac G4 for some reason. Nearly bought one in 2007 for £300 as my first mac, but that was a little bit too much for an old machine, considering buying one now - but the inevitable "what would I actually use it for" comes up :(

[paratrooper]

Love the idea of the Cube, but I have no use for it. I may get one anyway, I don't know. I WILL get these, however:

- iMac G4- any size screen, I just love these
- 12" Powerbook 1GHz
- Powerbook G3 Pismo

And in my dreams:
- 20th Anniversary Mac
- Macintosh TV

[Peter.Howard]

Around 15 years ago I had a Macintosh XL / Lisa 2/5 and one of the original Mac 128k systems.



Wish I had not sold them, maybe oneday I will pickup another one

[ghboard2010]

Why the one I am using in the now, but of course!

[Nameci]

G4 Cube is on the top of the list, followed by PowerMac G5 2.3Ghz Dual Core...

[MonkeyET]

I believe the computer I used in Jr. High for computer class was a Classic II. I thought those were the coolest thing around. Black and white screen, the ability to play games, and you could store stuff on a disk that came out. Great times.

[cherry su]

Finally got my hands on a working iMac G4! It's a 15" 1GHz USB 2.0. I was fortunate enough to find 256MB SODIMM, so the little guy has 512MB.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hr6EqyX2h1o/TOKzfsMuzsI/AAAAAAAABHs/lpwylTvg3Hs/s1600/imac.JPG

I also got the guts of a PowerMac G4 Cube whose condition is questionable. Currently, it sits under my bed in my dorm.

Awesome, does that run Tiger?

[chrismacguy]

For me there is a long list... anyway, here goes:

20" iMac G4 - Coolest. Computer. Ever.
24" White Intel iMac - Complements my MacBook and I prefer White
PowerMac G5 - first mac I really wanted..
iBook G3 - First Mac was one of these, need one back
128K - The one that started it all!
17" and 12" PowerBook G4s (Launch Versions)
QuickSilver G4
iMac G3 Bondi
iMac G3 Graphite
Quadra 610
PowerMac 9600
PowerMac G3
*EDIT - Forgot - G4 Cube 500)

Boy does a lot happen in approx a year and a half... :D - Now my list is as follows:
20" iMac G4
iBook G4
128K
PowerMac G3 B&W
PowerMac G5 Quad (Just to sit next to my Mac Pro and render)
and a Cube of Cubes (8 * G4 Cubes)
Quicksilver G4
PowerBook 540 (Just because my 1400s arent retro enough... yet)

However, I like to think that knocking off the 24" iMac (I got a 17"er instead as it fits on my side-desk) and the iBook G3 (Got a Clamshell - so nice to have the Mac that (re-)started it all for me back) is a start... xD

[crammedberry]

I'm surprised by the amount of people who want an iMac G4... I must agree though they are my absolute favorite, I'm never getting rid of mine :D

[macgeek18]

PowerMac G5 Quad 2.5Ghz
PowerBook G4 15" 1.67Ghz
iMac 21.5" 3.6Ghz Dual Core i5.(getting next fall)
MacBook Pro 13" Core i3(Hopefully after Sandy Bridge update)

I cant remember where, but if you look in I believe the Mac Mini forum (or Mroogle it) someone managed to get a Mac Mini inside a G4 iMac, and used the built-in monitor, so somewhere floating about there is a pin-out for that screen and instructions on how to in effect make it a monitor :D

Thankfully, my 17" iMac G4 is still pluggin' along. I'll keep this machine for as long as I possibly can, simply for the kicka** form factor.

I've always wanted a G4 Cube, and a TAM.

My 17 is also still in good shape, only for email these days!

Got a Cube and a TAM!

[rien333]

I always had slow, old macs. I loved them (especially my iMac g4) but they were a bit to old to use as a main computer. I still have all of them though. I even have 2 iMac g4's (!) but one of them has a burned motherboard. Kind of a luxury problem if you read how many people want an iMac g4.

Because of all my slow mac's I always wanted one of the newest iMac's. Just because they look really nice, are really fast compared to my mac's and have big screen. ;) And if I ever get a fast new iMac, I would love to have a maxed out g4 Cube as a secondary machine. They just look so awesome. :)

[Plymouthbreezer]

My 17 is also still in good shape, only for email these days!

And yeah, the iMac G4 now a days is reduced to iTunes and e-mail, maybe some word processing (with AppleWorks, of course!).

Well your just not imaginative... If you use old software old machines are fine, Photoshop 7, InDesign 1.5 etc are all still perfectly good for some people.

Very true, and this has always been my mantra.

I use PS 7 on my Pismo, and it runs just fine. Old versions of FCP are pretty solid and quite speedy on vintage machines. Lack of a current, supported browser is by far the worst thing about running older OS units.

[Xian Zhu Xuande]

I have them. :p

Back in the day, I sure did love the the Pismo PowerBook. I kept that thing going for years. Such a marvelously well made and attractive laptop for its time (along with its similar predecessors).

I had a Centris 610 which I also loved. Turned that thing into a frankenputer. Upgraded all that could be upgraded and even hacked an optical drive into that thing. It still works today.

[chrismacguy]

Very true, and this has always been my mantra.

Exactly. This is why it took until Final Cut Pro 7 (Studio 3) before I upgraded from a stable FCP1 rig, although if I went back I would miss Motion and Soundtrack Pro (Another product I have v1 of on my PowerBook G4).

[Plymouthbreezer]

A boss of mine at a part-time help desk job once surprised me when I learned that he used FCP1 on a G4 tower for all his professional jobs: like, legit commercial production work. This was in '09.

It's frustrating to see perfectly good machines get tossed to the side for the "latest and greatest." If you look in my sig, you'll see I have quite a few PPC units, all of which still see regular use. The Pismo is a rugged, durable, and highly practical portable, with its dual swappable bays and comfortable screen size.

[reberto]

Anything in the G5/Mac Pro form factor. God I love those cases.

[applerocks123]

Ive wanted that TAM and g4 cube,imac g4, mac pro

[mkjj]

Lucky!

And yeah, the iMac G4 now a days is reduced to iTunes and e-mail, maybe some word processing (with AppleWorks, of course!).

I had to move my tunes to my Mac Mini as I ran out of space, 80gb seemed such a big hard drive back in the day! Can't get rid of it as it's the best iMac design in my opinion.

The Cube is running at 1.84mhz so is pretty useful still and the TAM is a G3 500. Both bought from the same guy already upgraded.

Yeah, my 80GB has around 20GBs free... I've thought about replacing it with something larger, and maybe even upgrade the optical.

What do you use the TAM for?

How ironic cause I just sold my 2009 Mac Mini for a 2010 MacBook Pro.

[ELMI0001]

I, like many others, wanted an iMac G4. Just today I read on the Apple Blog that the iMac G4 was a misstep.

Another notable Mac failure was the iMac G4. Introduced in 2002, the iMac G4 boasted a revolutionary design that placed an LCD display on an articulating arm, the “sunflower” design, as Jobs described it. “Why have a flat display if you’re going to glom all this stuff on its back?” Two years later, following a reception best described as lukewarm, that’s exactly what Apple did with the iMac G5.

http://gigaom.com/apple/steve-jobs-and-the-history-of-apple-product-development/

I disagree. I recall hitting refresh on my iMac G3 during the keynote waiting for the picture to show on Apple's website for confirmation, even though Time spoiled the surprise.

[Piplodocus]

I spent years wanting for a 17" macbook with 2x 500GB 7200rpm drives, and since I had to save, figured with one of the future (at the time) i7 processors off the intel processor roadmap.

Here I am, typing on it! Took a few years to get here, but am now quite happy with my first real (not hackintosh) mac. :D

Now I just dream of being able to get one or two 1TB SSDs for any sensible money (like £150 each), but I think that'll take longer since a 500GB is currently >£1k. :rolleyes:

[macgeek18]

Any Intel based Mac right now would be a big step up. I may be getting a 17" CD iMac from craigslist soon. It's maxed out with 2GB of RAM and has Snow Leopard on it.

From my experience of a 17" CD Mac under 10.6 - Id recommend getting a C2D model if there is any way you can afford it (Mine, as in my sig is a 1.83CD... cant run Final Cut Pro well thats for sure..)

[Plymouthbreezer]

Jobs looks so young on the Times cover there.

Let's face it, all iMac designs have been pretty revolutionary, at least up until the G5 form factor. While the pace of innovation has slowed somewhat, Ives is still refining the details with each update.

[macgeek18]

PowerBook G4 and I'm buying a 12" PB 1.5Ghz Tomorrow. Super stoked!

[MACAPALOOZA]

I have always wanted a Mac Pro with 12 cores. I do a lot of video editing. Which means that I need a lot more power. I may also be one of the few people who like to have the CPU unit separate. I am extremely OCD. I like to have a lot of empty space on my desk. Clean desks are good desks. Some of my other hobbies are using AutoCad, Google Sketchup, and other high-powered applications. Having the money for a 12 core Mac Pro would be awesome.

1) If you need a 12-core Mac Pro, you should be able to afford one. ie. If your an amazing video editor - you should be able to afford a 12-core. (Im a video editor and my Quad Core is plenty for me - what on earth would you need 12 cores for, Final Cut can barely take advantage of 4)
2) You cant've always wanted one as they only came out about 9 months ago.
3) You don't need a Mac Pro. You need a grammar book on conjoining sentences.
4) Google Sketchup is not a high-powered application, Sketchup Pro could be, but it should still work okay on a iMac. AutoCAD can be, but I doubt what your using it for is so high-powered just judging by your grammar and tone.

'your an amazing video editor' is incorrect. You need an apostrophe as it's a shortened form of you are - so 'you're'. Your is the possessive, which I don't think you wanted to use in this context.

It's usually considered bad form to be a forum grammar-Nazi.

That's awesome. I loved those 12" PowerBooks. I still see people using them every once in a while.....at Starbucks, of course.:p

I wish I still had my Macintosh Classic II.....


I'm at a point now where I'm actually perfectly satisfied with my MBP that I've owned for over a year. It still seems brand new to me. However, I've been thinking about getting an iMac for a little while now, and may consider it in a few months.

(probably worse, but still... better than being a nazi, especially since we won) and Im nowhere near 1/3 amazing. My Editing is closer to between average and a hackjob - hence the lowly Quad :P

[chrismacguy]

Especially when the forum grammar-Nazi's post intended to ridicule is riddled with errors.

As stated above the errors were on purpose - I thought it was a good baitjob

Damn, Chris. You fail at being wound up in internet debate. That's much too reasonable a response - you really should try harder next time!

As you were.

Oh geez....the friggin' Demis have invaded this thread. There goes the neighborhood.

[ryannel2003]

I always wanted a 17" iMac G4; I find the 15" too small and the 20" too big. I finally did pick up one the other day for $100 off eBay. Bought a set of Pro Speakers and a new keyboard and I'm all set. Needs a stick of RAM to be decently quick and I"ll be a happy camper.

My next Mac purchase will most likely be a non-Unibody MacBook Pro. So much more elegant looking that the current Unibody MBP's.

Aaaaaahhhhhhh RRRRRRUUUUUUNNNNNNN...... *goes and hides behind a wall of PowerMacs*

[macgeek18]

That's awesome. I loved those 12" PowerBooks. I still see people using them every once in a while.....at Starbucks, of course.:p

I wish I still had my Macintosh Classic II.....


I'm at a point now where I'm actually perfectly satisfied with my MBP that I've owned for over a year. It still seems brand new to me. However, I've been thinking about getting an iMac for a little while now, and may consider it in a few months.

It's not happening now. I think I'll just save for a 13" MBP. Good power and can upgrade to 8GB of RAM which is necessary to have for me now.

[LimeiBook86]

I've always wanted a PowerBook G3... and now I've ended up with 2 Pismos and 2 Wallstreets :eek: So be careful what you wish for! :p My 12" 867MHZ PowerBook died (logic board), and I've always wanted a replacement. However for $140 I picked up four 1GHZ to 1.33GHZ iBook 12" Laptops. So it replaces the 12" with more speed, good for running old games or software and the small size of the laptop helps keep it easy to store. Much easier than a 17" G4 iMac, much faster too. :)

If I ever see a Mac Portable cheap or a G3 All-In-One I may pick it up, however the CRT turns me off on those Macs. I have enough G3 iMacs as it is and I have no room for them. And of course I'm always free to buy more key lime iBooks. ;)

I've crossed that barrier, it's bad (http://stevenmatarazzo.com/Mac-List-2008.html). :p I didn't even count the iBooks, the G3 PowerBooks, and the other machines I've picked up since then. I wanted to originally sell some of them (back when a G3 tower was worth something), but by now they're not worth too much so I may as well hang onto the ones I like and the others for spare parts. Like my beloved Color Classic which thankfully has a twin brother with a LC 575 board in it, best $40 I ever spent, did a fresh install of 7.6 on it the other day, runs great, even goes online! :D

Oh, and how could I forget wanting a G4 cube? Someone locally is asking $100 for one and $150 for it with the CRT, but too much for me as of now. One day though, one day. :) Attached is a pic of the Color Classic online a few weeks back.

Aahhh reminds me that I used to be able to Browse the internet on a Mac Plus... such a shame I couldnt purchase it :( - Still System 7 was amusing, even if I do intend on getting one eventually to be a terminal box and sit on my desk. Doing nothing else.

[Fangio]

I have always looked for a well preserved cube within driving distance.

Preferably with a >1GHz processor upgrade by Sonnet, or was it XLR8? I've had this carrier zif card in my 8500 back then, making it a G3 and really liked what it was capable of.

[macgeek18]

Lucky!

And yeah, the iMac G4 now a days is reduced to iTunes and e-mail, maybe some word processing (with AppleWorks, of course!).

Haha my iMac is running Leopard and is my web browser and youtube machine when my Thinkpad is working on some project for school or is in the bag before I go to school in the morning. lol I love my iMac.

[ryannel2003]

Wel, turns out I'm getting another MacBook. :) It's an Aluminum 2Ghz model too. :) My first aluminum Mac. :)

I had the same model a few months ago and let me tell you, it's the best computer I have ever owned. It was extremely durable (and I tested that after a good 3 foot fall on a tile floor), gorgeous, fast, and easy to travel with. After I sold that MacBook I have regretted it every since day since that time in December. Something about those and the latest MacBook Pro's are so elegant and well designed I find it hard to think how Apple is going to top it next time. My iMac is great and everything, but that computer was just amazing. I will say though that you'll need at least 4GB for Snow Leopard. Mine came with 2GB and it was starting to get a little bit tight, especially when browsing Safari, having a word document open, running iTunes, Mail, etc. You're really going to enjoy it, and while I did switch back briefly to Windows 7 (which is great, btw) I sold my HP yesterday and purchased a white MacBook circa 2007 for $400. It should be here any day and I'll enjoy using a MacBook again, though nothing can touch the aluminum models.

Well, turns out the guy won't sell it now because he wants more than it's worth. Oh well, I may just get a refurb 2010 MacBook out of the Apple store for crying out loud and not have to worry about it being worn out from use.

[ryannel2003]

That's a damn shame, but the polycarbonate unibody MacBook's are nothing to laugh at either. They are quite a bit more sturdy feeling than the previous MacBook's were, and a great deal on the refurbished site. A few days ago they had the 2.26GHz model listed for $759 but it has since disappeared. Great deal for somebody looking for a Mac on a budget. It's alot easier to swallow at $759 than $999 IMO.

I like my pre-unibody White MacBook - feels plenty sturdy enough to me... Although it will need to replaced within the next 6 months (Early 2008 Machine, means its coming up to 3 years old, which is the time by which I aim to upgrade my Mac Laptop so I can stay within AppleCare - it helps the new 11" Airs look like theyll help my back).

[macgeek18]

I just joined the Intel age of Macs again! I just bought a early 2007 MacBook Pro 2.16Ghz in mint condition. I'm so stoked!

I agree, I'm paying $750 for my MBP. A lot easier than $999 for a 13" MBP refurb.
And I wanted a 15" screen. :D

I loved my pre-unibody MacBook very much. To be honest, the only reason I got rid of it was because the cracks in the casing were pretty bad on the bottom edges and AppleCare only replaced the top case, not the bottom. It had 4GB of RAM and was actually quicker than my aluminum MacBook was. I just bought a 2007-era C2D MacBook myself a few days ago and I plan to max out the RAM and maybe even an SSD drive when it gets here. Best part? It only cost me $400.

[Nameci]

a PowerMac 2.3GHz Dual Core, 16Gb Ram, is what I always wanted, nothing more... i think differently...

[63dot]

snip

Titanium PowerBook G4. Why? I just have always liked those. I even had one for about a month with broken hinges. I still used it (as my main Mac) with the broken hinges.



I definitely love this machine. When it first came out, besides it being thinner than most laptops of their time, it had that titanium body which made it very unique.

Apple has had good designs since then, but nothing as far ahead of the competition as the TiBook.

While the original iBook was not nearly the same machine as the TiBook, I love my blueberry iBook and thought the firewire clamshell iBooks that came out later to be exactly what the original iBook should have been in every way. Both firewire back then and a DVD drive for playing movies seemed so advanced for such an affordable laptop and would have sufficed for most people's expectations. I don't remember if firewire iBook also had a CD burner, but that would have been nice as an extra, too. (EDIT: oops, the combo drive option came with the white iBook that replaced the clamshell)

Now if entry level Macbook Pro gets a Core i3 to replace the still relevant Core 2 Duo, that would be nice at the current price point.

[paratrooper]

Love the idea of the Cube, but I have no use for it. I may get one anyway, I don't know. I WILL get these, however:

- iMac G4- any size screen, I just love these
- 12" Powerbook 1GHz
- Powerbook G3 Pismo

And in my dreams:
- 20th Anniversary Mac
- Macintosh TV

UPDATE: Since posting this, I've acquired three classic macs: I scored a free working Blue iMac G3 and bought a working Pismo on eBay that I'm in the process of upgrading.

And just yesterday bought a complete but non-working 12" Powerbook Al 1.33 that I'm going to try and restore.

My new Apple bucket list:

iMac G4 (any)
iBook clamshell 466
early Powerbook
MacMini (Intel)

[Hallivand]

Well my utmost priority-old mac is the awesome Titanium Powerbook G4.

I second dmmcintyre3 and 63dot claims about the TiBooks. That screen design, how it just floats. Plus I don't think I've ever seen a bezel so damn thin. So beautiful :D

I bought one for AU$150 a few months ago, in near pristine condition. 1Ghz with a gig of RAM and I believe an upgraded 80GB HDD. That thing flew, with not one mark on the exterior paint work :eek: though for some reason (forget why) I sold it for a considerable amount not long after. I have been in search for one ever since, though nothing has cropped up of yet :(. I wouldn't go lower than the 867mHz model personally, as the option to run Leopard is nice (if I decide to go beyond Tiger on a machine).
It's the sale I most regret :(

My old Macs as of today:
Sawtooth G4/400 with Panther/Tiger
Quicksilver 2002 G4/933 with Tiger/Leopard
*Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8Ghz with Tiger/Leopard (with the beast nVidia 6800 Ultra DLL)

_______
2009 13" Macbook Pro for my Intel fix :cool: with SL/Lion

*I dumped an old 400GB 5400rpm laptop HDD into it, and it scores higher in Geekbench (1616) under Tiger than Leopard does under the 7200rpm desktop HDD (1585) :eek:

Funky thread!

I actually never wanted a PowerPC Mac, or older for that matter. I flirted with the idea of a Mac many times over the pre-Intel years, but even my best friend getting her G4 mini didn't sway me.

Then the Intel mini came out and I was hooked. I suppose it's the Mac I'd always wanted. It's the original Core Duo and I'll never get rid of it, it's just too cool. The old minis had something about them that the new slice of aluminium (with no optical drive... in a desktop... come on) severely lacks.

But really the Mac I've always wanted is the one that's coming out next. I'm always looking to the future, always wondering what Apple are going to unleash down the line. Now the 13" MacBook Air has a backlit keyboard again I'm sorely tempted to get that in the next couple of months, but I'd really like something with integrated 3G. Ho hum.

It's funny, my 2007 MBP has a sentimental value I don't think I could let go of. It's awesome. Despite my Rev A MBA feeling a million times faster, hence why I use it over the MBP (god love SSDs), I could quite happily give it away when I'm done with it.

[paratrooper]

I bet the first generation 11" Airs become collectors items like 12" PowerBooks did.

I thought about that also, but I think the 12" PBs were classics only because they were discontinued and until 2010 were the smallest metal laptops Apple had made.

So unless the MBAs are discontinued (which I doubt they will be), my guess is that the early ones will not become classics.

[Plymouthbreezer]

TiBooks have always been fantastic machines; I love how the unibody MBPs are somewhat reminisiqent of the TiBooks, black keys and all.

I miss mine dearly, a 400MHz unit signed by Woz (thankfully, I still have the signed bottom case)... If I find a good price on one, perhaps I'll spring for it. I'd love a clean 1GHz unit with the Radeon 9000.

I have always wanted an Apple II since I was a little boy and gazed longingly at them in my local computer shop. I keep an eye out on ebay and some day would love a full set up including two drives and a monitor perched precariously on top of the machine.

[carliemartini]

My iMac G4 is my collector piece currently.
I recently found someone with an Apple II in working condition that he wants to get rid of. Just gotta wait until payday to get it. *sigh*
I got rid of my unibody MacBook a couple months ago and I already regret it.

And for the longest time I've wanted an iMac G3

The G3 PowerMac....what a beautiful case!
The Cube...also, loved the glass!
The Blue iMac, just like the picture above, so beautiful!
The iMac special edition DV...cause Im a imovie fanatic
The titanium powerbook, to power a CRT monitor...hate LCD
The white macbook, also, loved its design
The MacMini 2010, I can finally have my PC in the palm of my hand

I own the last 2...

[Tsuchiya]

When I was younger, it was the candy coloured clamshell G3 iBooks that caught my eye, followed by the G4 white iBook (so sleek!), then the titanium G4 PowerBook, then the G5 iMac when it was announced:D

Shortly after it was the Macbook Pro 15.4" which is to this date my first Macintosh. Still running great, I can't see it failing me any time soon.

Nowadays, though it's the Mac Pro I've got my eye on. Maybe now that I'm a grown-up I can actually grab myself one soon :p

An iMac G3 and a clamshell iBook, both preferably in blue. I loved the 1999-2001 design era at Apple, their current designs, while undeniably nice, look incredibly dull in comparison.

- iMac G4 15-inch
- Apple II+ (Not a Mac, but been mentioned enough times in this thread)

At work we used to have Mac LC's which I always enjoyed using. For a long time, I wanted one with an Apple IIe emulator card.

Now that I have an iMac, I can let desire drop, but if I saw one available, I would be hard pressed to pass it up!

I've always wanted a 128k Macintosh... The G4 Cube's are gorgeous aswell, they're one of Apple's worst Macs ever IMO but they're just beautiful... :p

And a Macintosh Classic, I kinda feel sorry for the Classics, Apple tried to bring back the Macintosh experience from '84, but it didn't work... I sort of see a Macintosh Classic as an orphan, abandoned by Apple and the public.

[Macman45]

Now for me, all the old collectable stuff. I'm waiting for a kind of job lot deal. Old Lc's G series old MacBooks etc.

I'd like to find mint boxed stuff, but something tells me that is not going to happen. Also old touch stuff in boxes.....In short, a collection of all the old Apple devices from the past.

[dittman]

If I had to pick one old Mac, I'd take a fully loaded SE/30. I'd run A/UX on it.

My "Dream" Computer since I started collecting apple computers was an iMac G4. I've been fighting for them on ebay for a couple weeks now, and keep getting outbid last second :(. I'd love a 20", but Settling for a 17". Sit this next to a nice set of Harman Kardon Soundsticks.

Others would probably be a Purple iMac g3, a G3? G4? Cube. The whole setup with the matching keyboard, speakers, monitor. a lot of the late 90s stuff was pretty cool.
