I have the oppertunity to get my hands on a used 2005 15" Powerbook G4 with leopard on it for $149, $100 with my student discount. Would this be a good computer for things like: web browsing, word and power point? Also do these do Pandora?
The software you listed will only run on a PowerBook G4 if they still support PowerPC processors. I'm not sure if they do, you'd have to check each one's system requirements. You listed MS Office 09 for Mac, but there is no such thing. There is Office 2008 which does run on a PowerPC, and Office 2011 with does not. It looks like iLife 09 is going to work.
If the software will run on a PowerPC, the G4 could be a good laptop. The biggest limitations will be heavy Flash like playing YouTube videos. HD video will be impossible. Pandora might work. For $100 it might be fine.
