New article! lowendmac.com/2025/farewel...

New article - my first impressions on this WallStreet PowerBook G3 I recently got. lowendmac.com/2025/saving-...

submitted 1 day ago • 0 comments

Took some more pictures of the PowerBook G3 Wallstreet which I’ll be using in an upcoming article. It won’t sit here on this desk as it’s meant for the iMac in this spot. It also wouldn’t be comfortable to use there anyway, but it looks nice in pictures.

Rearranged a setup! The Monterey 7,1 iMac has a proper place again, the Mac SE boots again, and the corner looks cozy. Maybe I’ll experiment with Tahoe on the iMac since it has a real RX 580.

It’s nice to finally have one of these! And it’s in remarkably good shape too.. now to get a power adapter for it. The first “new” addition to the computer collection in a little while..

Have a Custom Mac or wanna check out a collection of them? Send them in or stop by our website - whether it's spray painted, encased in megablocks, or if it's a serious hardware mod.. It's a CustoMac indeed. lowendmac.com/customacs/

All is well, it was just bad RAM. Guess something must’ve happened to the 16 GB kit I bought for it only a year ago

submitted 12 days ago • 0 comments

Well this was totally unexpected, being a Late 2013 21.5” with just an Iris Pro 5200. Hoping it’s just bad ram and nothing else, it’s been unexpectedly having issues lately.

The "Indexes" have a Software section now - for OSes, all software, links, app highlight articles, the hacks index, and other OS articles. This page may change slightly over time, you may navigate to it by clicking "Software" on the site. lowendmac.com/2013/max-sof...

Since some people liked it, I figured more would like to see it outside of Social Media so I put it on the website too along with a couple more pictures. Enjoy! lowendmac.com/2025/imagine...

The "Linux always sucks" crowd got a hold of my last video. You know ardent adherence to Windows/Mac supremacy is just as insufferable as Linux supremacy, right? They're just tools. Chill yourself down.

Even though I have an M4 MacBook Air, I still keep a 2018 15" MacBook Pro beside me as a mobile late Intel Mac/hypervisor. In this article, I take a detailed look at what it's like to use in 2025: lowendmac.com/2025/using-a...
