Just received such a machine. The color is Graphite.
The hardware seems mostly stock (a whopping 6GB hard disk!) apart from an extra 64M RAM stick.
The software is a little odd (for me at least). It would appear to boot Mac OS 8/9, then flashes the question mark and finally (slowly) boot into OS X Jaguar. It is not snappy even without opening any app.
What I already know:
Officially it could go between 8.3 and OS X Panther.
RAM stick is cheap and relatively easy to replace/install.
Hard drive replacement is difficult but possible.
I don't have very high expectations. I think it could be a decent late night PDF reading machine? I would prefer to use OS X for this purpose.
For web browser I would go with a proxy/offload solution.
Anything you want to tell me?
