MacOS was a breath of fresh air to those of us who wanted Office, Adobe, and a more polished experience than Microsoft or Linux offered at the time. My friend bought one of the last G3 iBooks. It ran Mac OS X 10.2 that was arguably the first “stable” release of Mac OS X. I had such a great experience I bought a 15” October 2005 PowerBook as my first Apple laptop. It was under performant compared to Intel offerings of the day but I badly wanted Mac OS X. I was thrilled when I could buy a 2007 MacBook Pro to replace it with a Core2Duo processor. Now, the M1 MacBook Air is so unbelievably fast and power efficient.
