15" 1.5ghz fully loaded (1 week old) Powerbook FS/FT

[jsova]

Hi all,

About a week ago I ordered a custom built Apple Powerbook. The specs are as follows:

15.2" Widescreen 1.5ghz G4 Powerbook
128mb Radeon 9700
1024mb RAM
80gig 5400rpm hard drive
Combo cdrw-dvd drive
backlit keyboard

Also included is a copy of Microsoft Office 2004 Mac edition (It is legally owned, not copied). The only reason I'm selling all of this is because I recently found out that the program I need to use to work towards my major is only available for windows :confused:

I payed $2800 for all of this a little more than a week ago, and everything is immaculate. I'm asking $2400 shipped, or I would be willing to trade for a similarly spec'ed Sony Vaio s270. Profit from my loss, and help a college student out please!

If you have any questions, you can email me at jsova@purdue.edu. If you live either in the Indiana or Virginia area, we could complete the transaction in person, otherwise we could use a trading service to ensure honesty :)

Thanks for looking!

There's something to be said for researching before you buy ;)

That said, this is a pretty damn good deal. I'd be surprised if no one takes advantage of it.

Yeah I've really fallen hard in love for Mac OS, and I plan to buy a powermac desktop in 2-3 years once I have some more money to throw around. However, I'm going to japan all next year, and I need a (windows) laptop to take with me.


edit: thanks for the link, jvivek, but I'm looking for something with a little more "oomph" graphics wise, preferably with a 9700m. I would also like it to be a centrino for the extra battery life.

Do you guys think I would be able to get $2400 for all of this on ebay (provided I take some decent pictures).?

It amazes me how for someone that is supposedly on a tight budget (student) you would buy a wintel laptop, sell it straight away to get a Mac laptop, then sell that right away to get a wintel again.

*engage brain before buying* ;) :rolleyes:

I know, this doesn't really look good for me haha. I've definately learned my lesson about researching more before hand. As far as being on a tight budget, I am, but I worked 50 hours a week this summer to save up for this.

2nd lesson: never work at Cedar Point, ever.
