He gave it to me with a fresh installation of Mac OS X 10.3 “Panther”. He also replaced the original CD drive with a DVD drive, as I understand it out of necessity, because the original CD drive broke. He also managed to replace the original hard disk drive with a 120 GB drive, so I don’t have to worry about disk space limitation. My friend, who had used it for several years and replaced it a few years ago with an Intel-based MacBook, had its main memory maxed-out so it features 544 MB memory: 32 MB internal + 512 MB from the expansion slot.

The hardware performance is essentially the same as I am used to from my Power Mac G3/350 Blue & White. I just got an original iBook G3/300 (sometimes also referred to as “Clamshell”) from a friend and I have to say that I do like it very much.
