Pondering Selling my Apple iBook

Specs:
OS X 10.4.11 (Will do fresh install, only have my set of disks though)
800mhz PowerPC G3
256mb SDram
CDrom Drive
Radeon 7500 32mb
Wireless Card Installed (pretty rare on these models I think)
LCD: 1074x768 (12.1 inch I think? Its the tiny one )
Battery holds a damn good charge, I could make it through a 2.5 hour lecture with the backlight on low and cpu throttled enough to take notes. Great considering the age
Comes with a replacement power adapter (Bought the laptop used myself so)

This thing is great for taking notes in class, and some minor gaming (NES emulator worked alright). Video can be a bit choppy, but Id imagine a nice ram upgrade would bring it up to speed (around 50-75$ to max it out at 768mb I think). Served me well in class, thats for sure.

Now then, the laptop is used, has scratches and stuff, but is in pretty nice shape for its age (2002!). Its white, so from a distance, you dont really notice the fact that its scratched up, though they are noticeable at normal distance, so I wont hide that

The only problem I had is that it accidently fell off my bed at school during some hardcore Rock Band drumming. Which means that the screen spazzed, and blacks werent displaying correctly. Basically, I think I knocked a wire loose. Hitting the screen a few times fixed it, so its as good as can be right now. Only time it spazzed again is when my nephew slammed the lid, but a few love taps fixed it right up. So yeah, I think a wire is loose in there, but right now, its displaying just swimmingly, though occasionally a line of pixels wont display correctly, same deal heh.


Price is 225$. I think I have a case thing for it, good if you want to throw it in a backpack or something. High resolution pictures available to those who want it, I just need to find my camera.



Great price for a great laptop.

 

love taps for the win! :lol:

 

bed at school?!? wtf

 

Bump.

And yeah, bed at school = college hahh

 

Note: that screen problem is a 5 minute fix. I think it was pretty common in this model. Unplug the panel from the motherboard, straighten the cable then plug it back in. Done.

 

Yeah thats what I figure, Im just lazy lol

 

Pictures update Like I say, its used, worst scratches are around the edges, but its from 2002, and functions great, apart from the apparently loose cable.

 

lovely thing

i could never sell my 14" G4 iBook

 

any idea on how much this would cost shipped to germany?

 

At the worst, in a flat rate box, it would be 39$ for USPS priority international.

 

that would still be a good price. ibooks are so damn expensive on ebay.de ...
