The PowerBook G3 is a series of laptop Macintosh personal computers designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer from 1997 to 2001. It was the first laptop to use the PowerPC G3 (PPC740/750) series of microprocessors, and was marketed as the fastest laptop in the world for its entire production run. The PowerBook G3 was succeeded by the PowerBook G4.

The first Macintosh PowerBook G3, code-named "Kanga," was introduced in November 1997. At the time of its introduction, the PowerBook G3 was advertised as the fastest notebook computer available (a title formerly held by its predecessor, the 240 MHz PPC-603ev-based PowerBook 3400c). This model was based on the PowerBook 3400c, and was unofficially known as the PowerBook 3500. It used the same case as the 3400c, and a very similar motherboard. The motherboard was upclocked from 40 MHz to 50 MHz, resulting in some incompatibility with older 3400 RAM modules. Other changes to the motherboard included doubling the on-board RAM from 16 MB to 32 MB, and a faster version of the on-board Chips and Technologies graphics controller. The G3 made the Kanga more than twice as fast as a 3400c,

This first PowerBook G3 shipped with a 250 MHz G3 processor and a 12.1" TFT SVGA LCD. It is the only G3 system that is not officially compatible with Mac OS X (though various methods not sanctioned by Apple can be used to install OS X). The Kanga was on the market for less than 5 months, and is largely regarded as a stopgap system that allowed Apple to ship G3 PowerBooks sooner, while Apple prepared its more revolutionary PowerBook G3 Series. As a result, the Kanga has the dubious distinction of being Apple"s most quickly deprecated PowerBook. Nevertheless, many people chose to purchase a Kanga to continue using their interchangeable expansion bay modules, batteries, and other peripherals from the Powerbook 190, 5300 and 3400 models. The Kanga was also notably smaller in depth and width than the subsequent Wallstreet Powerbooks, and the Kanga remained the smallest-when-open G3 laptop until the debut of the Apple iBook some years later.

The second generation of PowerBook G3s, now called the PowerBook G3 Series, was introduced in May 1998. The machine was completely redesigned with a new case that was lighter and more rounded than the previous PowerBook G3; however, it was still an Old World ROM Macintosh. The new PowerBooks, code-named Wallstreet, came in three screen sizes: a 12" passive matrix LCD, a 13.3" TFT LCD, and a 14.1" TFT LCD. The Wallstreet was the first PowerBook to use industry-standard ATA optical drives. This change meant that CD and DVD recorders designed for Wintel machines could more easily be used in this computer, often at a price far less than those manufactured by Apple. It also came in three CPU speeds: 233 MHz, 250 MHz, and 292 MHz. The 233 MHz model was sometimes nicknamed Mainstreet, as it lacked L2 cache, making it far slower than the other two in the lineup. The 250 MHz and 292 MHz models shipped with 1 MB of cache. Because of this large cache, as well as the swifter system bus, the Wallstreets were known to suffer from some heat issues. Many of the problems of the Wallstreet PowerBook G3s were fixed in the next revision, the Wallstreet II.

The Wallstreet design was updated in August 1998 (Wallstreet-II). It featured a 14.1" display on all models. Processor speeds were bumped on the faster two models, resulting in 233 MHz, 266 MHz, and 300 MHz models. The case contained two docking bays, one on each side. The left-hand bay could accommodate a battery, a 3.5" floppy disk, a third-party Iomega Zip drive, or a third-party add-on hard drive. The right-hand bay was larger and could accommodate any of the above plus a 5.25" optical drive (CD-ROM or DVD-ROM). A small internal nickel-cadmium battery allowed swapping of the main batteries while the computer "slept." With a battery in each bay, battery life was doubled. DVDs could be displayed with the use of a hardware decoder built into a CardBus (PCMCIA) card. The PowerBook G3 Series was Apple"s first notebook offering that matched the build-to-order customization of the Power Mac G3 desktop line. Discontinued in May 1999, this would be the last Apple computer ever to bear the rainbow-colored Apple logo and the last Mac to support Apple"s Superdrive. It was also the last Old World ROM model in the PowerBook series. The PDQ was the last PowerBook assembled by Apple in Cork, Ireland.

The third generation of PowerBook G3 (Lombard) was introduced in May 1999. It was much slimmer and lighter than its predecessor and was the first New World ROM PowerBook. It had longer battery life, and as with the Wallstreet II the user could double the duration to 10 hours by substituting a second battery for the optical drive in the expansion bay. The keyboard was also improved and now featured translucent bronze-tinted plastics, which is the origin of the "bronze keyboard" nickname. It was also the first Apple laptop with a backlit Apple logo on the rear of the display.

Internal hard drives for the Pismo, Lombard, and Wallstreet II can be used interchangeably. The expansion bay drives (DVD, CD, floppy, battery) are interchangeable on the Pismo and Lombard, but not on the Wallstreet. A DVD drive was optional on the 333 MHz model and standard on the 400 MHz version. The 400 MHz model included a hardware MPEG-2 decoder for DVD playback, while the 333 MHz model was left without (except for the PC card one used by Wallstreet). Further DVD playback optimizations enabled both models to play back DVDs without use of hardware assistance. This model introduced USB ports to the PowerBook line while retaining SCSI support and eliminating ADB entirely (although the keyboard and touchpad still used an ADB interface internally). Graphics were provided by an ATi Rage LT Pro chipset on the PCI bus, to drive its 14.1-inch LCD at a maximum resolution of 1024×768.

The fourth generation of PowerBook G3 (Pismo), was introduced in February 2000. It was code named "Pismo" after the City of Pismo Beach, California. For this generation Apple dropped "G3" from the name.

The original Pismo was rumored to be a latchless design, akin to the iBook, which is similar in specification. Apple settled on fitting the Pismo board into the form factor of the previous Lombard G3 PowerBook, but with many improvements. The Pismo was available at CPU speeds of 400 MHz or 500 MHz, with a front side bus speed of 100 MHz (one-third swifter than the Lombard"s front side bus); it also implemented a unified motherboard architecture, and replaced SCSI with the newer FireWire interface (IEEE-1394). The PCI graphics used on the Lombard were updated to an AGP-connected ATi Rage Mobility 128, though the video memory was kept at 8 MB, and could not be upgraded, and the screen"s resolution was the same as well. A 6× DVD-ROM drive became standard.AirPort networking as an official option (although it could be added to the earlier models via various third-party CardBus cards). The Pismo can be upgraded with additional RAM (officially 512 MB with then-available RAM, but it accepts 1 gigabyte) and a larger hard drive (up to 128 GB). Brighter screens and replacement batteries were also available.

The left expansion bay, like the Lombard, could only take a battery, but the right bay was able to accommodate a tray-loading or slot-loading Combo Drive or SuperDrive, a Zip 100 drive, a Zip 250 drive, an LS-120 SuperDisk drive, a VST floppy disk drive, a second hard drive (with adapter, which was tough to find), or a second battery. Lombard and Pismo accept the same expansion bay devices.

Versions of Mac OS from 9.0.2 through 10.4.11 are officially supported. For some time, G3 (750FX) CPU upgrades at speeds of up to 900 MHz and G4 (7410LE) upgrades up to 550 MHz were available. These upgrades are now out of production and must be purchased secondhand.

Powerbook G3 Lombard Bronze M5343 14" LCD Display Monitor (works in Pismo M7572). Powerbook G3 Lombard 14" LCD Display Complete, with ribbon, Inverter, and unbroken hinges. Of the working Lombard displays I"ve examined, the ones I"m selling in this ad are the better ones. The casing on these are not perfect, and have surface blemishes such as scratches and scuffs. However the LCDs are relatively nice. This will also work in a Pismo model (M7572), wherein I will provide the correct inverter. This will not have the airport antenna wire so you would use a PMCIA card for WiFi as one does with the Lombard. Picture is representative of item.

The PowerBook G3 Laptop Series includes a range of laptops produced by Apple between 1997 and 2000. After the PowerBook G3 Series came the PowerBook G4 Titanium laptops.

The original PowerBook G3 (the Kanga) came with some options. It sported either a 233, 250, or 292 MHz processor. The laptop came with either a 12”, 13.3”, or 14” screen. The laptop started around $2,300 but a fully upgraded model would cost about $7,000. The second generation of the PowerBook G3 included a notable upgrade: a lighter and rounder encasing. The next PowerBook G3 model, the Lombard, had an even lighter and more portable structure. This third-generation model also had faster processing speeds, a longer battery life, and an improved keyboard. The last PowerBook G3 was the PowerBook G3 Pismo/Pismo PowerBook, which sported improvements in processing, graphics, screen quality, and more. The PowerBook G3 Pismo was named after Pismo Beach, California.

The PowerBook G3 has made a few notable pop culture appearances, including being shown in Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Night at the Museum, Mission: Impossible, and more.

PowerBook G3 Laptops are thick laptops (by today’s standards). They have a trackpad, keyboard, and fold-down display. The word “PowerBook G3” is located on the front of the device, just below the screen.

In addition to faster processors and the "bronze keyboard" for which it is named, the PowerBook G3 "Bronze Keyboard" systems are approximately 20% thinner than earlier PowerBook G3 models, have longer battery life, weigh substantially less and add dual display support. Also when compared to the "PDQ" models before them, the "Bronze Keyboard" PowerBook G3 models exchanged the ADB and Mac serial ports for dual onboard USB ports (while retaining the SCSI port), added 10/100Base-T Ethernet (up from 10Base-T) and dropped one of the two PC card slots.

“With Mac OS X 10.2 the Lombard PowerBook owners find themselves in the same predicament as in 10.1.5: RagePro drivers exist for the Beige G3 but not for the Lombard or WallStreet. A hack was found in 10.1.5 that would enable the Lombard to have accelerated video, but at a cost: you could not switch video resolutions or color depth without having to restart.”Not much has changed in 10.2 it seems. Not only can you not switch resolutions or color depth without problems, preliminary tests show that after a restart the machine still has problems in Aqua, usually showing a grey background with the spinning cursor. The only way to recover is to start up in single user mode and replace the patched file with the unpatched file.

Currently, BookEndz Docking Stations are available for the Apple iBook, the 2001 and 2002 G4 Titanium and G4 Titanium with DVI PowerBooks, and the 1999 and 2000 G3 PowerBooks. The iBookEndz Docking Station for the iBook is ultra compact – only 1.35″ x 5.75″ x 3″, and takes up very little room on the side of the iBook Computer. The G3 and G4 models add only 3″ to the rear of the computer when docked and allow for increased airflow.

By the time 1999 rolled around, the four product matrix was almost complete.  Apple had the Power Macintosh G3 to fill the pro desktop spot, the iMac to fill the consumer desktop spot, and the PowerBook G3 to fill the pro laptop, but had yet to release a consumer laptop. That changed in July when Apple introduced the iBook.  The iBook was essentially a portable iMac, complete with a handle and transparent, fruit-colored case options.

After over a year on the market, the iBook finally got a much-needed upgrade in September of 2000.  The base models were upgraded to 366 MHz Power PC 750 CX (G3) CPUs, which despite their higher clock speeds were only marginally faster than the 300 MHz PowerPC 750 CPUs they replaced. The updated iBook included 64 MB of RAM by default, had an upgraded video card, doubled the video memory to 8 MB, increased the had drive size to 10 GB, added one FireWire port and composite video out, and decreased the price by $100 to $1,499. The new iBooks came in a deeper Indigo blue and almost neon Key Lime green colors.  The Key Lime iBooks are still extremely popular in the used market.  They are rare and can command an upwards of $200 for a unit in good condition.

The SE model was updated at the same time and improved the base model by adding a 466 MHz PowerPC 750cx (G3) and a DVD drive.  The SE was offered in both Graphite and Key Lime colors. The price remained at $1,799.

The inside of the iBook wasn’t perfect either. The 300 MHz G3 was adequate for most purposes and was only 33 MHz slower than the low end PowerBook G3 that cost significantly more. What really bothered people was the size of the hard drive (3.2 GB) and the amount of memory (32 MB). Again, this was only a bit less capacity than the low end Powerbook (4 GB hard drive and 64 MB RAM).  Critics also disliked its single USB port, lack of Audio In, and lack of PC card expansion.  But the iBook was designed to be a consumer laptop. In order to shave costs, Apple took out things that most users don’t use.  Apple updated the existing line of iBook models in February 2000 to include 64 MB of RAM and a 6 GB hard drive.  This was the same time they introduced the iBook SE. The other criticisms would be addressed when completely redesigned Dual USB model was released in 2001.

I scored my Tangerine iBook off of eBay for $63 including shipping, which is a really great deal. On average, iBooks go for about $100 before shipping, so I was lucky to get this one.  I’m rather impressed with its condition for the price.  The top of the case is excellent – no major scuffs, cracks, or scratches. The rubberized plastic on the top and sides is free of major scratches and still has grip.  The handle is sturdy and works well. The bottom of the case is in good condition save for some minor scratches and magic marker.  The screen hinges are great – they hold the screen up well and close the laptop with a snap. The only odd thing about my Tangerine is that the inside of the iBook isn’t Tangerine at all – it’s Indigo (a later revision). The area surrounding the trackpad is dark blue as is the trackpad button.  I also think the keyboard is from a Blueberry model.  Although it is large and heavy, I’m impressed with its sturdiness. It feels much sturdier than my PowerBook G3 Lombard (which weighs less).   The keyboard is the same as my Lombard but in “ice” white, and it’s just as comfortable.  My only complaint is that the screen is a bit top heavy and has a tendency to tip the iBook when it’s on your lap.

In May 1999, Apple introduced the “PowerBook G3 (Bronze Keyboard)” which was an update to the black, curvy notebooks of the day. True to its name, it shipped with semi-transparent bronze keys that exposed the keyframes underneath under direct light.

Packing a 1024 x 768 14.1-inch display, this machine — nicknamed “Lombard” — was a full two pounds lighter than its predecessor, coming in at 5.9 pounds.

Inside was a 333 MHz PowerPC G3, with a 400 MHz CPU as an option for those willing to spend more. It had a memory cap of 384 MB of RAM and came with 8 MB of graphics memory, thanks to the ATI Rage LT Pro. However, this G3 had a slower Level 2 cache, making the old machine faster under certain workloads.

The Lombard, like other PowerBooks of the era, had two bays, one under each side of the keyboard. This allowed users to swap in modules like optical drives and even a second battery, for a potential 16 hours of battery life. The slid and locked into place until ejected by pulling a small plastic lever. It would never fly with today’s Apple, but it made the PowerBook G3 line of notebooks extremely customizable.

This particular generation of PowerBook G3 is special. It was the first to come with USB ports, shedding the ADB and serial ports found on the previous machine.

This port change no doubt upset some long-time Mac users, but it means that the Lombard was a bridge to the future. Inside, there were more changes, as it was the last PowerBook with built-in SCSI support and the first with a New World ROM.

The Lombard was for sale for less than a year, and about 18 months after it was announced, the Titanium PowerBook brought the G4 to Apple’s notebook line. As such, it’s basically a forgotten Mac, but one that was an important step in moving the Mac forward.
