Hey everyone.

I'm thinking about selling or trading my Powerbook G4, I need a bit bigger screen that what I thought when I purchased it. I just purchased it about 5 weeks ago from another forum member.

There is nothing wrong with it performance wise, it runs CS3 suite perfectly fine. I just need a bigger screen. I really love the 12'' form factor. I was using an iBook G3 12'' for years and finally decided I should upgrade a bit, so I bought this powerbook. I love the little bugger. I just think i need a wider screen.

The specs are.

Powerbook G4 12''
1.5ghz g4
512 ram
80 gig hdd
Superdrive
Bluetooth 2.0edr and Airport ex
Battery gets 3.5 hours of life.

It's this same machine - Apple PowerBook G4 1.5 12" (Al) Specs (12-Inch - 1.5 GHz - M9690LL/A*) @ EveryMac.com

It would come with the power adapter with extension cable, OS X disks 10.4 for powerbook g4's.

Cosmetically there it's in great shape, there is a little ding by the power connector, and the palmrest has a little "corrosion"/ spots that's normal for some of these, the metal gets dirty from your sweat. It's purely in the coating and not any flaw of the laptops performance what so ever. It's been seen on the MBP's as well.

Essentually I'd like to trade for a 15'' powerbook, preferably 1.67 ghz, or a Macbook / MBP. Of course for the MBP I'd compensate. I'd be happy with anything bigger.

As for the price, I guess we could start at - 900 shipped and go from there. Of course I'm willing to lower and negotiate, so don't feel bad for asking a lower price.

Thanks!

Here are a couple pictures.
