You may not like my answer, but no.Hi do you wish apple made g4 clamshells?
Yes, I like the handle as well. They certainly aren't small though!I do because they have handles are small the keyboard is nice and its durable
How many clams will he be asking for it?@LightBulbFun is trying to make a Clamshell G4

Shrouded in the wings of darkness... no, wrong... shrouded in the smoke of the last clamshell he burned, the wizard enters the stage and does it's magic on yet another poor and helpless MacI have a hot air rework station (aka fancy hot air gun) a 533Mhz 7410, and I just nabbed an (untested) blueberry iBook G3 off of ebay
Be afraid be very afraid
Yeah, I remember seeing a YouTube video on that. I remember looking it up and it was super expensive though.I recall someone on eBay was stuffing a 2015 MacBook Air logic board into them, but charging a pretty crazy price to match. Not sure if that listing is still up, doesn't seem to be.
If you cough up the cash, there are G4 Clamshells to be had on Ebay, although I personally wouldn't buy one of the currently available ones for several reasons.
I wouldn't mind having a clamshell iBook with a G4 chip and an XGA screen upgrade. It was a design that really fit the style apple was trying to convey at the time and was just an inviting fun machine to use. I also agree the keyboard and curved palm rests make them nice to type on.
My 366 Indigo iBook was also the first new world ROM laptop I ever purchased and served as my primary laptop from 2003-2006. It wasn't always reliable, but after a logicboard replacement 2 months after I bought it, it still works to this day and now has the entire family of Clamshells to join it.

Was quite interesting, but overall very useless today (not that it was overly useful when new either LOL).
Thats a really cool perspective. I've never seen a Mac Portable in person before, so that is one chubby machine.466mhz Key Limes tend to be pricey any time they come up for sale. I've passed on a few just because I didn't want to spend the amount needed to buy it at the time.
BTW, as a size comparison

I had to give 10.0 and 10.1 a try on a blueberry iBook just for novelty sake. I started using OS X at 10.2 so it was my first time to really use it. I think they're all dual booting 9.2.2 and either 10.3 or 10.4 now though.Show off
But seriously, that’s an impressive lineup you’ve got right there. I finally got my first FW-model, being a 366MHz Indigo. I put 10.0 on it since I’ve never used it before. Was quite interesting, but overall very useless today (not that it was overly useful when new either LOL).
Oh cool, that is actually something we can get? I thought it was inside Apple only. Probably hidden in a developer beta, right?You can run bomb.app
I don't know where to find it, other than the fact that I think Dez gave me a copy a year or two ago.

I'm extremely partial to the 17" Powerbook G4s myself.10/10.
Personally, I'd stick with a PowerBook G4 15" DLSD/HR.
