My current desk setup, mainly used for everyday work with some vintage Apple hardware from my collection mixed in.
It’s powered by an M4 Max MacBook Pro and also works with my HomeKit setup (outlets, smart bulbs, Apple TV, roller shades, etc.) I also use the desk for repairs and soldering so it doubles as a workspace for restoring Macintosh computers.
Thoughts?
Took this little piece of Apple history with me to Atlantis The Royal Hotel in Dubai 🇦🇪
One of the rare PowerBooks in my collection, originally released exclusively in Japan in 1998.The 240MHz version was a Japan-only model, making it a pretty unique Mac.
Even the original battery still works and actually holds a charge really well! I left it sitting for a few months and it still powered on.
Hi everyone,
I’m currently looking for a Macintosh PowerBook 145B JLPGA Special Edition and wanted to ask the Vintage Apple community if anyone has one available or knows where I could find one.
This is the JLPGA PowerBook 145B from 1993, featuring the unique brown/leather style lid design. It is a very obscure and rarely seen PowerBook compared to the more well known JLPGA PowerBook 170.
I’m a vintage Apple collector and would love to add one of these unusual machines to my collection. I’m interested in any condition:
Working or non-workings
Complete or incomplete
With or without accessories
If you own one, have seen one for sale, or know someone who might be willing to part with one, please let me know. I’m willing to pay a fair price and can arrange international shipping. I am based in the United Arab Emirates
Thanks!
After looking for one for quite a while, I finally managed to add a PowerBook 170 JLPGA Special Edition to my collection.
Often referred to as the "Benetton Mac" because of its colorful design, it was produced in a run of approximately 500 units to mark Apple's sponsorship of the 1992 Japanese Ladies Professional Golf Association tournament.
What makes this one even more special to me is that it's complete with its original box and packaging, which is something you don't come across very often.
Definitely one of my favorite pieces in the collection!
