I have G4 iBook, 1.33, 12", Ram is 1.5GB, 10.5.8 OS. Can the original HDD be simply swapped out with this SSD model?

This is a standard eide hard drive the only issue I had was the housing screw's are not flush.

I swapped this for the HD in an old IBM laptop, and it worked fine. This is a PATA drive - are you sure you don't need a SATA drive on your iBook? I used EaseUS Partition Master to clone my HD onto the KingSpec SSD, then put the SSD in place of the HD and it booted right up.

Hi Rayn...Your Mac takes a 2.5" HDD, & this HDD IS 2.5". It will fit/work in any laptop...notebook, etc. I have an HP Envy Notebook, & if I ever want/need to replace the HDD, I wouldn't hesitate to use this one. As for it being a good drive, I've been using mine in my PS3 Slim, & it's turned out to be a GREAT upgrade. I originally had the 320 GB drive. I got tired of having to delete games, etc, to free up space, so I went with a 750 GB drive. I use my PS3 a lot, & I've had no problems!! Anyway, I HOPE I helped out...& good luck with your Mac...

I do not see the point of changing the one it has already for the one you mentioned, because both are hybrids and the hybrids have a flaw when we talk about proper speed. Change for a proper SSD (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MZ-7TD250BW-Solid-State-2-5-Inch/dp/B009NHAEXE/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1373543806&sr=1-2&keywords=samsung+ssd) than it will make a lot of difference on speed (boot up time and every day use). If you need more space, use an external drive for storage.

Yes I swapped in a Crucial 512GB M4 SATA. Thunderbolt works fine but believe it or not the USB3 interface had faster read times!

Yes. Bear in mind that the pre-2010 iMac models do not have an add-on option if I recall correctly, meaning that you will have to completely replace your previous HDD (or SSD if you had previously replaced it).

Sorry, I do not know anything about Macs. But, I would check your owners manual. The SATA connector should be the same, but the height of the drive could be an issue, it might not fit in your HDD slot. Good luck.

I've done this a couple times. The best way is to get a cheap usb external enclosure from macsales.com or newegg, then put your new SSD into it. Use a program for your mac like Carbon Copy Cloner and create a mirror image of your current hard drive. Then I usually search Youtube, or find step by step installation instructions on ifixit.com for my specific model of MBP. Good luck!

Since I don't have the iBook G4, I cannot give you the strait answer but I suggest you email Other World Computer(OWC). They cater for Apple products and will be able to tell you. I suspect it will work because your iBook came after my (now dead)Powerbook G4 and most computers from then on use the Extreme over the original Airport module.

Upgrading is possible. I just changed my HDD to an SSD. now it is super fast. Memory upgrade is also possible. though apple recommends only upto an 8GB, people have proved that it can really be upgraded to a 16GB. 128 GB SSD cost 50+ USD where as an 8GB(2x4) cost nearly 70 USD or less.

Answering because all of the other answers sucked: This looks to be in the same linage as the 1015e. Assuming it's effectively the same, you can't add ram. Swapping the hdd to an ssd is possible but annoyingly difficult and will void your warranty (but it makes it _much_ more usable in my opinion).

Yes, I have upgraded mine and also switched my hybrid HD for the MX100 SSD. No hassle at all.

I am using a 500Gb hard drive (the original that came with the Mac). In the original spot I've installed a 320Gb SSD drive. But I believe that if the Hard Drive has the same form factor, it doesn't matter the capacity.

Yes. You may refer to this site https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+21.5-Inch+EMC+2389+SSD+Dual+Drive+Installation+Replacement/9068

The RAM is soldered on so you can't remove it. When I called Asus support and asked them if the SSD was replaceable, they recommended a 2.5" SSD... Poor customer service because they don't even know what the SSD type is for their own products. After asking them again, they told me that because of the gumstick-style SSD drive, you can't replace it unless it's through them... I'm sure you could try Google searching for gumstick-style SSD drive options. All I can say is: save yourself the trouble of the flaws and headaches of this laptop and go for a Macbook. I'm no Apple fanatic, but the Zenbook's flaws and horrible Asus customer support is what pushed me towards my first Macbook Pro (2012 model, 13") and so far I have had no problems with it while mainly using Windows 7 on a virtual machine. And with a Macbook Pro, you can replace both RAM and HDD. Go for the older model when a newer model comes out to save yourself some money.

Ram memory is soldered so it is unexpandable. You'd have to purchae the variant with 8GB by default. SSD is mSata so you can expand manually.

Yes. It should work. But please check out this video first. http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Early+2011+Hard+Drive+Replacement/5119There may be a cut-off between early 2011 & eary 2012. There are also some kits that allow you to upgrade to Hybrid or SSD.Hope this helps.

The answer is yes, it should be a plug to plug replacement. Your Mac book should recognize and accept the new capacity of 500GB.
