An older model of Apple's laptops, based on the PowerPC G4 processor. It has the same colour as the white MacBook today.

PowerPC processors were not total crap, some of the high end IBM workstations used them quite well. On Topic: Older Mac laptops/notebooks that used the PowerPC processor.
I'm thinking about getting one from eBay...would that be a wise decision? I already have a laptop, but my desktop is worth shit, and I want something so my parents will stop using my laptop all the time.
Mac hardware is reliable, but soon to be obsolete. Legend is that the next version of OS X (1.6, right?) will not be capable of running it. If you just want a cheap work computer just for web access and office productivity applications it will work. I have checked ebay and some of them are borderline dirt cheap. Also, if you do not like OS X you can just switch over to any version of Linux that has support for PowerPC processors.

Well, I've never used a Mac before, so I wanted to try it out. I don't even know what a PowerPC processor is...
