Quirks

  • The display has a noticeable scratch.
  • The trackpad will sometimes either not work or jump all over the place when touched. It is recommended to use an external mouse.

History

  • 2020-03-19: The incorrect materials that were shipped with the clamshell iBook G3 are identified as matching this model.
