Update: The PowerBook has been given away.
Last time, I gave away a Mac clone from the ’90s. This time, I’m giving away this machine: a 2003-era 12″ PowerBook G4:
Some specs:
- 867 Mhz PowerPC G4 processor
- 640K RAM (the maximum)
- 1024 * 768 screen resolution
- 40 GB hard drive
- “Combodrive” (Reads and burns CD-ROMs, reads DVDs)
- AirPort Extreme card
Here’s a peek at the ports on its left side:
The right side has just the CD/DVD slot:
And yes, it can be yours…FREE!
How Can You Get This Machine?
Alas, you can’t anymore; it’s been given away.

640K? I know the G4s are old, but I think it takes a bit more than that
The PowerBook G4 in general is a real trooper of a machine, and in my opinion the form factor is more or less unsurpassed.
Joey, I hope you post some of the best reasons people send in!
Hi Joey, what about giving it to Littlegeeks.org? They give internet and computer access to kids.

From the everymac link:
*Apple officially reports that the maximum memory capacity of this system is 640 MB with 128 MB of onboard memory and a single 512 MB memory module. However, third-parties have been able to upgrade the RAM to 1152 MB with a single 1.0 GB memory module.
