Description
The Onyx is one of Apple's PowerBook G4 models released in the year 2001. It has a notably stuck-out hinge, and unlike the other G4 models, there are no ports on the side. All of the ports are hidden in a small trapdoor mechanism under the hinge.

Due to this artifact having a damaged hinge, the laptop should not be opened as it risks further damage.
