If you liked the “Will It Blend?” iPhone video, this YouTube find will be right up your alley. This time, an old G4 iBook pays the price of being supplanted by its ultra-sleek cousin, the MacBook Air. The weapon of choice? A massive masonry drill. The culprits? A dedicated team of YouTube filmmakers.

But let’s not keep you waiting. Check this out:

Painful to watch, isn’t it? My first thought was, “What a waste”. But before you angrily hit the “Leave a comment” link (as I would’ve done in a heartbeat, I strongly dislike waste), consider this:

And if anyone is wondering, this machine was given to us by the IT department after everything salvagable [sic] had been removed. We are essentially just drilling through a shell with a non-functioning screen. And yes, we will be recycling this properly.
There. You can watch that video with a good conscience.

It may have had all the parts removed, but I still feel sad.

RIP my iBook G4
