My PowerBook / MacBook Pro Collection so far

[CPark98]

Hey, I just wanted to show a bit of my PowerBook/ MacBook Pro collection so far! I'm missing the Retina and Butterfly models and still looking to add them soon.

Left to Right: 2001 15" PowerBook G4 Titanium, 2004 15" PowerBook G4 Aluminum, 2006 MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo, 2010 MacBook Pro 15", 2021 MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max.

Very nice! I had forgotten how chunky the early aluminum PowerBooks used to be!

Just curious: is it hard to find used ones due to supply shortages and stuff right now, or are you just looking for used ones at a certain price point?

Super cool pics--love comparison shots like this.

I'd forgotten how the chrome flakes off release catch for the aluminum PowerBooks/MacBook Pros that have the 'button to open the screen' design.

Isn’t it crazy how the build materials have changed and improved over the years? I have a friend who still won’t use Macs because she had one in the 90s that had a keyboard that smelled like cat pee.

OK, you have to find out which Mac this was!

I’ll find out—it was definitely a 90s model.
