This PowerPC portable from the mid-2000s was petite yet powerful, and remains a popular machine among retro Mac collectors. But when the hard drive in mine started to fail, I had a choice to make.

Great video! Did you use a special drill head for the screw?

Nope, just a regular bit. I can't say for certain, but I think the screw was aluminum, and it was quite easy to drill.

Hey Colin, with the amount of Powerbooks that you've collected and presented on your videos over the years I've been wondering if you have any intention of doing a documentary about them? I know they're just laptops but I still feel there's something more to them than the average laptops of the day (perhaps that's the reason you collect them).

You know, I'm not sure. I'm not really into "collection tour" videos as I think they too often come across like showing off or bragging, but I also can't really think of any other way to show the progression of PowerBook design in one video. I do try to include at least some history about each model that I make a video about, and often that can include info about other models (my PowerBook 3400 "fastest laptop in the world" episode is a great example of this).
