TITANIUM OUTER SHELL
These first series of 17" Apple laptops were made with the original Titanium (not Aluminum) shells. Except for a small 1/4" spot (not a scratch), which is visible only at certain angles, the top/cover of the shell is practically spotless. There are naturally a few minor scratches on the bottom of the laptop.

But the picture is an Aluminum model, and to the best of my knowledge there never was a 17" Titanium model.

yep, iirc the G4/1GHz 17-inch was aluminum.

The TiBook was only available as a 14" model. It was Apple's first foray into metal for computer shells, there was nothing larger. This guy is clueless. For the record, I've owned both the TiBook and the 1st gen 17" Al Powerbook.

The screen was 15", the Wallstreet ... Pismo G3's that preceded it were 14".

Maybe the first metal laptops, but Apple certainly used metal shells long before this, the Quadra 650 was metal.

The TiBooks were the first G4 400/500 machines, right?

Yes, following the beloved Pismo.

I gave away my perfectly working and clean condition 400 Pismo to Wife's grand niece, who needed one for her high school work. She was very excited and appreciative of the gift as she was an Apple fan as well. One year she messed up her grades, her step father took away the laptop. The last time I heard of it he "tossed it out" because "it was no longer working." In addition to being a hard core Windows fan, he also is well-known in the family as "not the sharpest tool in the shed."
