Actually, it’s not a PowerBook G3. It’s a first generation polycarbonate MacBook in black. Note that the laptop looks thinner than a thick PowerBook and the Apple logo is not upside down, as seen in Lombard and Pismo models. Another fact to consider is that with the scene’s timeline at around the year 2007, the MacBook model was one of the most used laptop models at the time when the PowerBook G3, even the Lombard and Pismo models, is starting to be obsolete.
