It may be tough to find one for that much, but not impossible. I would suggest trying the guy at Wegener Media. He has a 500mhz G3 iBook with 192mb and CD-ROM for $220 and can upgrade to a combo drive and 256mb of RAM for a little extra. The nice thing about buying from him instead of someone off the forums is that you get a short warranty as well.

I've got a ti powerbook (g3, 500) with a set of scratches on the screen. It's in parts right now waiting for me to put in a new optical drive. If it's something you're interested in, I'll also consider trades. LMK!

[gooser]

oops, 1 hour later i just bought it.

[leblancchris]

bump...still looking

[KeriVit]

I may have something CLOSE to that soon. I have a 12." iBook G4- 1GHz/30/256


BUT! The hard drive is dead. It has AppleCare, so I need to send it in to get fixed- probably replaced, just have a lot on my plate right now.

Still, it's worth more than$250.... lemme research to find out its value.

[leblancchris]

if you were to replace the drive, i would buy it for $250

[KeriVit]

Well, I'm sorry. I spoke too soon. Apple is going to put in a new hard drive- which makes it worth the $500 range. Sorry.

[leblancchris]

worth a try

[leblancchris]

still looking for a laptop....

Not an ibook, but faster than the low end dual usb's.

It's a little more than you want to spend, but it comes with a 30 day warranty....

You honestly not going to get much worth a crap for $250 thats worthy of learning graphic design. Macmall has iBook g4's, the last revisions for $699. Suck it up.

[leblancchris]

suck it up?

im not trying to learn graphic design...im just looking for something cheap to learn the os on... if you've got nothing helpful to say... dont waste my time
