I Love Fixing up old Mac Computers. This weekend I Picked up 2 2007 Black Mac Books. Both Mac Books were owned by College Kids and were plastered with Stickers. Mixed and match the best parts and build a beautiful version of a Black Late 2007 Mac Book . Replaced the old HD with a SSD and Upgraded the memory, the system works great !!
Psivewri: to respect the original owners’ privacy, I won’t look through their personal files Also Psivewri: Let’s look through this person’s memes, mate
@@BossBen1same, i had a phone with memes, a phone with a really funny video and a couple phones with really good songs and a laptop with the same thing
I love my PowerBook Pismo. Got it in May 2000, and I still use it to this day for HyperCard Development. I often switch back and forth between MacOS 9.2.2 and 10.3.9 (I never upgraded it to 10.4.11)
I used to be a computer technician and watching you restore old computers reminds me of old times - It is also satisfying to watch when you're cleaning the computers! Love that eucalyptus oil xD
Love your videos! I'm quite a tech head and love seeing this sort of stuff. I have a 2007 HP Pavilion DV6302 laptop. Not really old but compared to nowdays it's getting there. 12 years old and it's still going strong.
Note: You can use Goo Gone to get rid of stickers and sticker glue easily. I use it on a number of restoration projects and just in general. I really do recommend it, you wouldn't run the risk of damaging the computer.
The clip you made on the PowerBook with the Sony DV camera looked like some obscure 2000's tv show like it was spot on with the whole vibe and aesthetic
Excellent video. Also, thank you for some good tips for us who still use these vintage black and white apple laptops. Own the model right after this, the G3 Powerbook Firewire because in addition to having two USB ports it also came with with two Firewire 400 ports. This truly is my favorite design of all of the apple computer laptops because mine has a built-in airport card, two "hot" swappable bays for (i.e. batteries, DVD-player, Zip drive, Super Disk drive, floppy drive, and extra memory), accepts type I and type II expansion cards, for wireless printing an inferred port. audio-in, port, audio-out port, internal 56k modem port, Ethernet, port "S" video port, and VGA monitor port.
The Lombard Macbook! The designers in the office I shared had those and I was always coveting one, but could not afford them at the time. Still looks superb, its brilliant that you gave this one a new lease of life 👍🏻
I had one of these. They were available in 400MHZ and 500MHZ models. The lower speed was always the best bet as they had the same cooling system. The dual bays were great as you could run 2 batteries for long use, or no batteries with the floppy and CD drive (using a power brick).
The powerbook was for professionals so it was easy to access the critical things such the CPU, ram and hard drive. However the ibook G3/4 of the same era was for consumers and that was a pain to take apart, over an hour to just get to the hard drive but yeah you are right to an extent. It's just if the manufacturers want to make it easier to work on and back then they probably did alot more than before.
If you're thinking about MHz to MHz comparisons, RISC generally got about twice the performance per MHz than CISC (such as Intel was, Intel has "RISC-like" internal cores with a microcode translation layer nowadays). Obviously it depended on the workload. But that was the entire raison d'être of various other companies like MIPS, who made server CPUs and also the PS2 CPU. POWER (related to PowerPC) still holds a niche in the server space to this day, and ARM is RISC as well - the absolute performance is no longer better than Intel due to how beefy heatsinks and power supplies have gotten, but the performance per watt is still much better.
@@HistoryandReviews That's a good thing. When buying an older laptop don't worry about the RAM or hard drive because you can get them cheap! Excellent source of parts available for any old laptop which makes them very serviceable!
That laptop is in better condition than mine! Just a little jealous. :D I still love that model. The accessibility is great and I just love that flap in the back that shows the port markings. If the hinges and battery weren't toast on mine I might just still be using it. Fun fact that you didn't mention in the video: you can put a battery in the DVD compartment as well, so you could have two batteries in.
One thing I absolutely miss from old laptops are the keyboards. They're so much more comfortable to type on than modern keyboards. Hell, I'd rather use a standard USB keyboard than the modern laptop keyboards.
Invest in a bottle of “sticky stuff remover” I own an IT recycle shop and it comes in very handy and is very cheap, lasts for ages and smells great, gives a really good lasting shine
This tank was my first laptop. Nothing has ever come close to the near 8 hour battery life you could get by swapping out the dvd drive for a 2nd battery.
How you got a PISMO for so cheap is astounding to me. My Pismo was so expensive to get. XD Your very very VERY lucky. Though it is a shame it’s a non FireWire model. I didn’t even know the Pismo’s had a non FireWire variant.
I had lot's of fun making this video! Enjoy 🙂

OMG I love the new length of these videos, keep up the great work!
adews section yes talking
Great video! Thanks to your PRAM battery tip I just fixed my power book!
Hmmm yeah i wonder if that’s what happened to mine.. I think it’s probably the frayed power cord and no battery but I’m gonna try it
haha
Never use oil for cleaning heatsink or CPU or use Alcohol after the oil otherwise it react with silicon based thermalpaste and hardend.
Got that sweet 10 minutes baby 😎
Am I the only who is upset that those funny and original Apple Mac memes are now probably lost forever?
BottleNecked PC no you are not
He could also send the previous owner his files :(

Nice! I have a 1998 WallStreet PowerBook in my garage, still working. Runs OS9 and is pre-USB!
This Powerbook comes from the time when Apple used to put as much effort into the design at the bottom of the laptop to the top. Great little machine.
Amazing video! I love these old notebook's restoration videos. And those powerbooks still look so nice, right?

I died at the marbleblast gold!! So many memories from primary school 😂
Woah that looked easy to open for a laptop... Especially a MacBook!
It’s a PowerBook
"it definitely needs a good cleaning" Psivewri, May 24th, 2019
you should get a small museum and have them displayed. it will be awesome !!! very nice restoration works !!! keep up the good work!
Marble Blast Gold was my childhood!!
older hardware was so much easier to take apart it seems like
The powerbook was for professionals so it was easy to access the critical things such the CPU, ram and hard drive.

@@squeakers27 yeet
I'm not a computer technician, so I would never mess with a laptop that I know doesn't work. I love your videos.
Its hard to imagine how these machines use to keep up with such a low specs back in the days
Everything else had lower system requirements as well... So it was pretty much like using todays' hardware today
This was way superior vs pc at the time
If you're thinking about MHz to MHz comparisons, RISC generally got about twice the performance per MHz than CISC (such as Intel was, Intel has "RISC-like" internal cores with a microcode translation layer nowadays). Obviously it depended on the workload. But that was the entire raison d'être of various other companies like MIPS, who made server CPUs and also the PS2 CPU.

Really enjoyed this one. Wasn't too long, but long enough to get the detail. Awesome!
There’s something in the way you speak that I find soothing!
That Fujitsu hard drive and the RAM is worth probably a little more than $10 by itself.
Pfft it’s worth a greasy bag from McDonald’s and a used condom
@@HistoryandReviews That's a good thing. When buying an older laptop don't worry about the RAM or hard drive because you can get them cheap! Excellent source of parts available for any old laptop which makes them very serviceable!
Marble Blast Gold! That game brings back so many memories. I remember playing it on the iMac G5s we had in primary school.

correction: the yo-yo charger came with the original iBook, and the PowerBook G3 had a black charger. Solid video nonetheless. :) Keep 'em comin'!
You dug that Marble Blast game directly out of the deepest reaches of my memory
You are the tech mate that everyone needs after raising eBay and the local Sunday morning swap meet markets
why am i addicted to watching these kind of videos...
from india.you are a genious and youre videos are so satisfying to watch.
One thing I absolutely miss from old laptops are the keyboards. They're so much more comfortable to type on than modern keyboards. Hell, I'd rather use a standard USB keyboard than the modern laptop keyboards.
Wow! I am impressed you were able to edit a video on that PowerBook.
I had PowerBook G3 Lombard. I loved the easy access to the hard drive, memory and even the processor too. I miss that thing.
Me: Ooh! I can use that for scripting!
Me: _**Buys a brand-new laptop for TH-cam videos.**
Me: **Uses the 20 yr old laptop for scripting**
Since the OS had been tweaked (at least the icons) didn't you think reinstalling it would be a good idea?
The icon on the dock looks the same as Mac OS Big Sur...... But it's actually Mac OS 10.4
I just love these restoration videos
Good job on the old Mac!!! Nice to see the evolution of Apple.
Apple Powerbook, more like Apple's Power hungry book.
TSG/Icey Boi Yes one
Definitely happy with the longer videos, keep up the good work Psivewri!
Love your video! It's really satisfying seeing all those old laptops getting restored :D
This channel will expand rapidly. No doubts!
The best tech channel on TH-cam!!!
Loved these pismos. You did a great job cleaning her. Great video
1) i had one of those 2) amazing to know that there are people who don't look through other people's files given the chance.
Try TenFourFox, a browser built for PowerPC Macs that is still supported. TH-cam will run on it!
Agreed! I have a couple PPC Macs running it.
That top lid reminds me of modern gaming laptops actually, very interesting...
Oh god i love so Much marble blast gold i Played it on My imac g5 on My powermac g5 and on My macbook pro late 2008 p.s. I love your videos so Much
Honestly I like watching this guys vids and subed just for the cleaning bits
Great video,now I'm off up into the attic to retrieve an old power book that I have up there 😀
Drink game: take a shot everytime he says eucalyptus oil
Amazing video! Love your channel! Keep it up!
I would love to see more restoration videos they are very entertaining.
Definitely liking longer less frequent videos! Keep on going i really like ur vids
Seems surprisingly friendly to those who would want to disassemble it
That video you edited on that laptop was the "most Australian quality" I've ever seen
Dude the video you put together on that Mac is sooooo late 90s early 2000s lmao. Now we just need some popin music
What do you use to clean the chords?
Man, I really like this channel. Passionate about old tech and fixing stuff. Subscribed!
I had a maxed out Powerbook G3 "Lombard" model I loved.
Nice refurb :) I hope you saved some of the music that you liked :D
I have to buy some eucalyptus oil and mineral spirits now after binge watching all of these amazing videos!
V westlife talked about artic fox for older macs
I believe Arctic Fox is only for x86/Intel Macs. If this is running OS X 10.4, the TenFourFox is the goto for PowerPC macs.
Seshpenguin There is a PowerPC build available, either officially or unofficially, can’t remember, but I’ve used it.
Come al solito hai fatto un gran bel lavoro i miei complimenti continua così
I just found your channel and I love it already
