WTT: High performance PC laptop for G4 powerbook/ibook

[mrbigcdx]

The laptop is pretty decent, but I've taken a fancy to Macs and think they'd meet my needs better. If you want more info and am interested, just message/email me and I'll provide 'em. Of course, I'd want something comparable and not a lowball :-P

Some quick specs:
P4e 3.0Ghz (800mhz bus + 1mb l2 cache)
15.4" widescreen display
80Gb hard drive
768MB RAM (subtract 128MB for the shared ATI Radeon 9000 IGP video)
XP Home
DVD/CD reader/rewriter (for both, not just CD)
Full complement of ports (USB, firewire, one pcmcia, etc.)
fine working battery, all manuals/CDs, power adapter
Bought brand new in late January, gently used since then.

Email/respond in this thread if you're interested! Thanks! :)

i am very surprised, 3.0GHZ is pretty high even for a desktop computer, but can you actually utilize all that power in a laptop? (sorry if i am derailing your post, i am interested)

[mrbigcdx]

Yes, you can. Note how I put it has an 800mhz bus and 1mb L2 cache. It's not a toned down laptop version, it's the actual "desktop" version of the P4 Hyperthreading. I'd say it has pretty great performance all around! I think there's even some 3.2ghz or more out there now in laptop form.

As in my first post, contact me if interested for more details!

not really interested in a trade (got a desktop mac/dont need a pc) but these might help in your sale
what brand is it?
with a desktop p4 what kind of battery life does it get?

[mrbigcdx]

It's a Compaq, still under the 1 year warranty. The battery is nothing to be proud of, unfortunately. I'd say it's a good day when it gets over 2 hours. Normal would be 1.5-2 hours. Nobody out there got a Powerbook as a gift and needs a quality PC? :confused:

You may wanna list the video card and how much VRAM it has, as that would help the sale greatly.

768MB RAM (subtract 128MB for the shared ATI Radeon 9000 video)

there it is

there it is

The ATI Radeon in itself has 128MB of RAM, ATI does not share RAM as VRAM, only Intel Extreme Graphics (which sux anyways) shares RAM as VRAM. So I really think that the ATI VC has 128MB of RAM. Make sense?

[mrbigcdx]

You make complete sense, but you're wrong ;)

It's ATI Radeon 9000 IGP (IGP=Integrated Graphics Platform or something similar)

So yes, it's exactly what I wrote, not a thing less. Still nobody even remotely interested?

[slooksterPSV]

Oops sorry, be sure to change your first post so people recognize that. I forgot about IGP - I'm more of an Apple Techie now lol.

Nobody's interested or got a Mac they don't want/need? Aww....
