I enjoyed a bit of the nostalgia Apple put into these videos, particularly when the light shut off on the late era PowerBook G4. Wonder where they found one in such good shape 
Got a tip for us?

Cool vids! It's like a mac museum
I wouldn't mind a CShellG3 or a IbookG4. Not PPC but that touch bar feature on the new MBP caught my eye ... however my first thought was why keep it to a tiny "little finger person only" bar and not make the entire screen touchable? I think that would be super intuitive for apps like Logic or Garageband for instance to be able to adjust, tweak directly with your fingertips. Too much like an Ipad I guess?
Truth be told, my Ipad2 mini has a Qwerty keyboard case, so I guess I'm waiting for apple's MBP to catch up in that regard.

I can tell you - they've borrowed mine ...I enjoyed a bit of the nostalgia Apple put into these videos, particularly when the light shut off on the late era PowerBook G4.

To be honest: perfect condition thanks to tender love and care from it't previous owner ...
BTW: In the ad they should have let it's keyboard shine for a second before the screen turns black.

I could't bare the fingerprints all over the display. That's why I like the MacBooks more than the iPad: the huge touchpad and the keys (but the iPad also comes in handy for many reasons...)

I've got one of those as well... a 500mhz TiBook that has ONE scratch on the lid, and that's it. Almost cherry. It sits in a 1ghz TiBook box, to remain untouched for a while. The original owner babied the thing while she used it, then put it in the box her then-new TiBook came in, to sit for years and years and years... until she sold it to me
Those are stellar!I enjoyed a bit of the nostalgia Apple put into these videos, particularly when the light shut off on the late era PowerBook G4. Wonder where they found one in such good shape
