I have a 12" iBook G3 (snow) that I would like to trade for a comparable PC laptop. The iBook specs are as follows: 500mhz G3 processor, 128mb RAM, 15gb hard drive, 24x CD-ROM drive, AirPort ready (no card installed).

The iBook is in FANTASTIC condition - literally like new. I was very surprised when I saw it and realised that it was a ~5 year old machine. It was used in an office 100% of the time and was never traveled with. There are very few scratches/scuffs on the exterior and NO wear whatsoever on the keyboard, trackpad, and handrest. The screen is perfect. Honestly, only a scale of 1-10 (10 being brand new), I'd give this machine a 9. Even the protector plastic is still on the original power adapter. The only problem with the laptop is that the battery would need to be replaced - it only lasts 30-45 minutes on a full charge. Original packaging and all cables are included.

Additional information here.

Pictures of the actual iBook for trade here.

I'm looking to do a straight across trade for an ~800mhz Intel-based laptop. Dell, Toshiba, and IBM would be ideal (no Compaq's or HP's please).

Let me know what you have!

In case no one wants to trade...
Since used Macs have good resale values and are relatively easy to sell on eBay (i.e. they sell the first time so you're not relisting a bunch of times) or Craigslist, I'd suggest selling it and buying a used PC laptop from Retrobox or similar.
