My work needs have changed and I need to go back to a windows based laptop to be productive. Before anyone mentions it, yes I could AND would love to use a Macbook but I am not able to dish out extra cash right now. So, if anyone has a compact windows laptop currently and is looking to get into OSX, maybe we can strike a deal. Below are the following specs on my Powerbook:

12" LCD
1.33 ghz G4 processor
100GB 5400rpm Hard drive
768mb Ram
Combo Drive
Mint Condition with original box and all accessories
Includes a neoprene padded carrying sleeve

Also, the original battery was part of the recall and I finally received a new one from Apple yesterday. The new one holds a full 4 hour charge and has no load cycles on it.

I am looking for a mint condition, compact windows laptop, non celeron based, must have builtin wireless. Would really prefer 14" screen or smaller, but will entertain any offers. Let me know if interested. I have ebay and heatware feedback under the same username, techster82, and can provide references from the forums here. Reach me at [email protected] as I am not on the forums much since my workload has increased.

i sold my 3yrold 15" P4 8lb vaio for 325, and bought that same powerbook for $350 (spent $80 to upgrade the ram, $30 for a new keyboard (the 5 and f12 keys didnt work, and the down arrow was gone) and after a month the original 60gb harddrive died and i spent $70 to replace it with a 5400rpm 80gb one).
but darn, u cuda saved me lots of trouble.
best of luck

Will also entertain just selling it outright, make an offer.

Edit:

I want to clarify that I will not sell this laptop for $350. I have had an offer for that based on another members post in this thread, which is very unreasonable. This laptop is mint, loaded, includes the original box and all accessories (still factory sealed) and has a brand new battery. Looking for $750 shipped.
