I am in need of a new laptop for school and would prefer to get a Powerbook versus a Dell 710m. I use my PC at home constantly and would like a Powerbook or iBook to get my Apple fix. I am interested in the following:

12" Powerbook or iBook
G4 processor of 1.0ghz or better
Preferably an 80gb harddrive or better
Preferably a Superdrive
Must have builtin wireless
Near mint cosmetically

I have been looking at the refurbs from Apple, and don't really want to buy a new one, even with my student discount. I would greatly prefer to keep it under $1000 as I know this can be done. I was going to hold out for a Macbook Pro but decided to go the 12" route for portablility. Let me know what you have and your askin price. I do have a 19" Dell LCD if anyone is interested in a partial trade. Send any offers to claytonharvey@<remove>insightbb.com
