Seems the power adapters for these were recalled, so that's fun

Clint! I was the one who donated you this laptop! Glad to see it go to a new home and getting the attention it rightfully deserves!

In 1998 I picked up one of these for my CEO boss at my first job from a local Mac shop in NYC. I set it up for him, etc. Was the only time I got to handle it and I was blown away how fast it was. The company paid $3899 for that laptop.

You may have spotted this in the edit, but when you tried to change resolution on Quake, it said "Not enough memory for video mode".

This machine is what we call a "Wallstreet," I have one of them in my collection. The hotswap bays originated with the Powerbook 500 as dual battery bays, which you could swap out a PC Card cage for a battery. They improved them a lot since then. These machines had CD-ROMs, batteries, floppies, ZIP, and LS-120 drives that you could swap into the bays. And yeah, the backlights on these screens weren't great back in the day, and age has only made them dimmer.

Yo Clint. Don't forget to upload LGR food... We need that new sandwich videos 😜🤤

This exact model got me interested in old computers. It was the first laptop I ever got to play with as a kid. So many memories flooding back watching this

BTW,liked the Eye Bee M 😀







Great work Clint!

That machine could probably render the RAVE hardware acceleration of Quake

Old is always gold

I ordered the Quake vinyl but got sent the vinyl for The Social Network.
Still waiting to hear from their store support...

When you right click every time but then realize the macbooks only have 1 click.

That laptop should have an ATI chipset that supports RAVE 3D acceleration.

This is my absolutely favorite laptop series if all time.  it deserves a full LGR.  I'm still getting utility from it, though parts are getting harder to find.

That friggin Mac power up sound is awesome

Gotta love the “booooooooong!” Boot chime. Much feels

I love this design so much I miss my PowerBook pismo

It’s been a while that you didn’t review a Mac.
Lovely ☺️

That screen is spot on Clint

I had one of these babies. 10 years from 1997 to 2007 when the light was weak. 6 GB HD music production, lot’s of CD’s. Software  Cubase 3.5
