My pristine and loaded 12″ PowerBook G4 is for sale, because I have replaced it with a MacBook Air.
Specifications: 12″ PowerBook G4 (1.5GHz/1.25GB/55.89GB/DVD-ROM/CD-RW)
- two finger touch trackpad, USB 2.0, Firewire, 802.11b/g, 10/100baseT
v90 modem, mini-DVI, bluetooth, 64mb vram on nVidia GeForce FX Go5200
Mac OS X v10.4.11 with classic emulation loaded, install CDs come with it
Comes with the packaging, books, cables that I got from Apple when I bought it
This has been a beautiful little machine, very handy. It runs Leopard just fine, but I am unwilling to part with my own Leopard licenses, so I downgraded it to Tiger and loaded the classic emulation software that came with it. Note, this machine will not boot into any Mac OS prior to 10.3, though it runs classic emulation fine.
I am looking for around $650 in cash or trade value, and found that to be about the going rate for these without the expanded memory (which mine has).
We are also giving away (for free, as in beer) Erci’s old “Wallstreet Series II” (aka: PDQ) PowerBook G3 to the first person to send me an email at my scottnolan.org address. This machine has not been used in quite a while.
Specifications: 14.1″ PowerBook G3 (300MHz/192MB/8GB/DVD-ROM)
- VGA port for external monitor, adb port, SCSI HDI-30, memory can be expanded to 512MB
- No USB, no Firewire, no Airport slot
- two PCMCIA (PC card) slots
- 10Base-T ethernet and v.90 56k modem
I still need to scrub the drive, but it can handle any Mac OS from 8.0 through 10.2.8 officially supported by Apple, and some people have gotten 10.3.9 and 10.4.11 working with XPostFacto software. This one does not come in original packaging, nor can I find the original CDs (though perhaps they will turn up as I continue to clean house). There is a really big laptop bag that it comes with.
Update: Both laptops are now sold.
