Apple Macintosh PowerBook G3 "Wallstreet"

The Apple PowerBook G3 (1998), part of the Wallstreet series, was a high-performance laptop featuring a PowerPC G3 processor ranging from 233 MHz to 300 MHz, making it one of the fastest notebooks of its time. It included upgradable RAM (up to 512MB), dual drive bays, and a 12.1-inch, 13.3-inch, or 14.1-inch active-matrix display, offering flexibility for users. The PowerBook G3 supported Mac OS 8.1 to Mac OS X 10.2.8, ensuring compatibility with both classic and modern applications. Its sleek black design, combined with expandable storage and modular components, made it a favorite among professionals and power users.

I was given this laptop in circa 2008 during my time as a student at Rice University. It originally powered up and ran OS 9 until the hard drive died in 2025.
