Oh I don't know about being unique... Wasn't PowerPC macs sold in pretty large quantities? As in there are many of them out there and many of us still using them?

I'm pretty sure no one uses a powerpc mac in my country

If that is true I willingly stand corrected!
I know this to be untrue. When I was in Suchitoto, El Salvador I used my 12" iBook.
I'm still kinda sad that Apple Replaced my Powerbook G4 with a 2011 MBP, for sure the MBP is great and is going to last me forever it feels, but there was something about the Powerbook just being amazing, at everything. If you wanted it to do something, it could.
6) Keyboard. I love it.
What keeps you attached to your PPC mac? I respect that you're useing the older hardware and I think it's kind of neat, to be honest. But I'm still curious as to why most of you choose to use PPC macs as your primary machines.
How'd you get a 2011 MBP from a Powerbook?!? Applecare is 3 years and the last Powerbooks were sold at the beginning of 2006. That means you were out of warranty for at least 2 years.

Haha, it was a one off lucky thing. But it still sucks as this MBP is going in for its second logicboard at the end of this week.
If you have three "major" faults while under warranty Apple has a policy of replacing your Mac with a brand new, current model one. After 3 super drives, a battery, two logic baords, that's how I replaced my 2007 MBP with a 2010 model.https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1325763/

I agree 100 percent. My Early-2011 MBP "survived" two cruises, together with my Mid-2009 MBP countless travels and the daily "abuse" in my business.To be fair I'd have to disagree on that, Powerbooks are prone to separating at the seams - they are well made machines for sure but I believe the newer Apple laptops are more robust - My MBP for example is pretty much a solid lump of metal with no seam except for the bottom plate - out of the Powerbook, MB and this one it's by far the most solid and despite heavy use and a huge amount of travel (international) after a good wipe down it looks like it could be straight from the Apple shop. But certainly for the time the PB was one of the very best made laptops around.
