Well it is time for me to upgrade my current system to better work with leopard.

I'm looking to buy a Powerbook g4 Aluminum with the following minimum specs:

1.5ghz g4
512mb ram
80gb hard drive
superdrive
15"
Screen must have no imperfections and I would prefer a machine with no dents.

I would also prefer a working battery and the original box, but we'll see what I get offered.


In addition to the powerbook I would like to purchase an IBM thinkpad for work. Minimum specs below:

IBM T40,41,42, or 43
256mb ram
40gb hard drive
DVD-ROM
No dead pixels/dents
Working battery


If you have another brand of PC that is not IBM contact me anyway and I'll see if that particular model would work for me.

Let me know what you have to offer, either in a PM or posting a reply to this thread. Thanks!

Would a Thinkpad T30 work? It's got 512MB RAM, 40GB HD, DVD/CDRW/Floppy hot-swap drives and a base station, along with a power cord or two (I have 4 but I doubt you'd need more than 2)

Let me know!

Thanks for the offer, but I am not really a fan of the T30s because they are so thick :D Still good machines, but I would prefer a Centrino /Pentium M model.

Do you have a price range for the PC Laptop?

Would a Celeron M kinda recent laptop do?

(like your sig.... ;) )

What kind of price range are you talking about here. I have a pretty freakin' loaded T61 14.1" for which I don't know the specs right off hand. I know it has dedicated nvidia graphics, 2GB Ram and 802.11N wireless plus a 7,200 RPM HDD (100GB I believe) and a Core 2 Duo processor. It is still in great shape and is still under warranty until I think Sept.

^to the above posts, thanks for the offers but I really don't care for celeron too much either, and the T61 would be way over my budget.



Thanks for all of the replys & PMs, I have found a Powerbook g4 from a forum member and I purchased an IBM T40 on ebay.
