Ok I currently have a Powerbook G4 Alu 1.5 GHz which i absolutely love and is the best computer i ever owned. I came across a deal for the Macbook Pro 2.0 GHz that was too good to pass up so it is enroute to me right now (I have a UPS tracking number). Now i need to sell one of these 2 laptops as i have no need for two. I can't decide.. i LOVE my powerbook but the new MBP has some nice new features. I will accept best price i can for one of these 2 laptops. My ebay id is spacecadet610 and i am a very reputable seller. If i cant get a reasonable price, i may go the ebay route as the new MBP seems to be going for full price at this point. Reasonable price for PBG4 = $1500-$1600??
_________POWERBOOK G4
This is my prized laptop computer that has been babied since it was purchased 1 year ago. There is still 2 years of Applecare warranty left on the laptop which can be transferred to new owner (normal warranty is 1 year with new powerbook). There are no dead pixels on the screen, and it is super quiet and been the best laptop i've ever owned. No marks on the screen (always used screen protector) and in interest of full disclosure has only minimal scuff works that i can only see with bright light and at certain angles. I upgraded with a 1 gb memory stick for a total of 1.5 GB. Pictures can be provided upon request.

-1.5 GHz PowerPC G4 processor with 167 MHz system bus
