Mar 29, 2004 The G3 iBook is certainly still a great computer. I would get the G4, I agree with Randyman's points. Moreover, future versions of OSX or beyond may drop G3 support since Apple's current line has no G3. I purchased the G4 iBook after owning a G3 ibook. Stay a current as possible.
can i install the newest apple os on my ibook g3? I want my ibook to work like a new mac book.
Is this a good question?
Comments:
Leopard drags horribly on even a low-end G4, so why on earth would anyone want to run it on a G3? But I think we are taking the question too literally. I think the proper answer to the asker's desire for a G3 to 'work like a new MacBook', is that this is simply never going to happen. The newest OS you can install on a G3 (without going to ridiculously extreme measures, and ending up with a hideously slow machine) is 10.4 Tiger, and that is a universe away from Snow Leopard on a new MacBook.

However, Tiger is far better than Panther or Jaguar, so if you're running one of those you should definitely consider a Tiger upgrade in order to make your laptop relatively more usable and compatible.
