Hi all,
I'm looking to sell my Powerbook, mainly because I don't travel enough and I realised I'd be better with a desktop. The system itself is in mint shape, the keyboard itself has never been touched (put on the silicon keyboard cover right away), no dead pixels. I have all the original packaging. The battery monitor lists as excellent condition holding 83% original charge which translates into still getting 3-4 hours use.
rough specs:
12" Powerbook
1.33 Ghz G4
768 MB RAM, upgradeable to: 1.25 GB
modem, 10/100 ethernet, 54 GB wireless, 2x USB, 1x firewire ports
64 MB video
60 GB hard drive
CD-RW/DVD drive
Panther (10.3.9)
I'd throw in any/all the following:
Hardware:
- iskin keyboard protector
- Radtech Screensaver screen protector/polishing cloth
- Roots laptop bag
- MS notebook mouse
- iLap cooling stand
- Apple Pro keyboard (I used it for setting the PB up as a 'desktop' with dual
monitors)
- aluminium 'hard shell' carrying case
- Airport extreme card, brand new never used (seal broken only to
verify content)
That's $650 worth of extras including the RAM upgrade. I'd factory
wipe the system, setup user account(s) do all the OSX updates, install a full office suite so it's ready to fire up and use. I'll throw in Firewalk X 2 firewall (with licence). Provide a month+ of free tech support via e-mail and/or my remote support system through my IT business, I'm also a MacOSX tech .
I'd like to get around $1500 CDN for it, as I'll need to buy a replacement computer. Given all the extras is still a reasonable deal. I originally paid over $3000 CDN.
If you're interested or know anyone else who might be, drop me a line at: rick(dot)blythin(at)gmail(dot)com . I'm a PC tech by trade so all my family, friends, clients are Windows based. Excuse the text e-mail I get enough spam as it is

PS: I also have a Powerbook 5300ce as well. The AC plug has broken off, but should be a matter of soldering it back on. I never got around to repairing it, at the very least it would be a good parts computer. Apart from the plug, it appears in great shape.
