This is my powerbook G4 that I've had since 2005. I got it just after I started at the sixth form college mostly for media studies, this was my first laptop and my first mac. After four and a half years on and it's still going, even if most of it has been replaced at one point or another.

It had a hard drive upgrade after I came off my bike and put a large dent in the corner. This is my everyday machine that I use for talking to friends, browsing the web and writing my reports on. Out of all my friends I have the best battery life so I don't have to fight with them for plug sockets at university.
