This iBook G4 is the 2004 model with the 1.2 GHz G4. It has 1.25 GB of RAM, and a 30 gigabyte hard drive. I put a fresh install on Tiger on it and its a great little machine! As I'm sure you can see, it was really gross when I first got it, but it cleaned up really nicely. The keyboard is a little discolored, and there is also some discoloration on the palmrest but it looks better in person than it does in these photos.
I already have a 2005 12 inch PowerBook G4, so I didn't really need this machine, but at $12 (it was 25% off day at my local Value Village) I couldn't say no. I've never owned one of the white plastic iBooks--I have an indigo G3 clamshell and a early white plastic macbook, but the G4 iBook is a smart-looking little machine, and I'm definitely a fan! I'm just praying that the hard drive doesn't fail, because changing that out doesn't seem like the most fun job, but for now it seems to be running OK and isn't making any terrible noises.
