I traded in my iBook g4 around then. It was just too slow and it couldn’t keep up with basic things we all take for granted. The laptop was the fastest around when it came out but everything changed so quickly that decade. Not being able to stream video at any resolution higher than “low” was the final straw for me.

For something that lasted about 9 years, I'd say that was pretty darn good value for money, at least it was in my case. This led me to continue buying Mac's until today, mainly Mac Mini, Macbook Air and Macbook Pro's. None of them have given any issues except the GPU issue on the 2015 MBP, which was sorted out by Apple. I notice that people complain a lot about Apple quality having gone down, but one also has to realize the complexities of their hardware went up quite dramatically, along with their ambitions to change everything now and then (the keyboard flop comes to mind).
