I'm selling my couple month old 12" powerbook and 20" cinema display because I am getting a new laptop from work and will no longer require the use of this. Here's the specs:

12" aluminum powerbook
Combo Drive
1 Ghz G4 processor
768mb DDR ram
80gb Harddrive
Built-in bluetooth
Built-in Airport Extreme
Includes Panther up-2-date disks, along with original restore CD's, manuals, box etc
Extended Applecare Protection until 10/16/2006 on both laptop and display
Perfect condition
Zero dead pixels
Apple DVI to ADC adaptor
Oh and I will throw in the everquest DVD I got for my .mac renewal since I don't use it.

20" widescreen LCD Apple cinema display
Zero flaws and NO dead pixels

Both are in flawless condition.

Powerbook Serial #: UV342660Q76
Display Serial #: N53382QKNAF

If you were to go to apple today and buy this combo it would cost $3,870 + shipping and taxes! Even if you are a college student and you get the educational discount it would still cost you $3,368 + shipping and taxes!

I am asking $3,050 shipped anywhere in the US shipped via FedEx insured. If you are in Minnesota I can meet with you to save shipping costs which will drop the price about 50 bucks.

I need to sell this system ASAP!

My ebay ID is intendedacceleration with all positive feedback, and I am a verified paypal member. Thanks!

I believe this configuration only goes for $2472.00, unless I missed something, brand new in the apple store tho.

I will pay cash + my powerbook for a nicely equipped G5 dual 2 or 1.8 ghz machine. Don't be afraid to shoot me an offer.

I will also concider newer (still in warranty) high end dual G4 machines.

Don't be afraid of insulting me, I'm a big boy, I can take it. :D Keep in mind though that I'm not going to give this thing away either.

Ok I need this thing gone. Here's what I'm going to do to spice it up. I will also throw the following into this deal. All are almost new and in perfect shape.

Logitech Elite Corded keyboard
Logitech MX500 Corded mouse

This is an outright steal! I need this stuff gone soon! Thanks!

lol - kind of funny to read through this thread... if you don't mind my askin, why do you have to get rid of it so fast and get your hands on a desktop machine?

Actually if you read through it again, I started out wanting to trade for a desktop. Later I changed my mind and just decided to sell it because my work bought me a new laptop and I no longer need this one at all. Right now it is just sitting in it's box collecting dust! :D

It's actually a Sony Vaio PCG-GRT270P.

2.2ghz P4M, 16.1" screen, etc etc

I like it the more I use it but windows is sure a pain over Panther. If I didn't need the money I would keep my apple too but that's just too much money sitting there that I can use for bills or whatever.

Yes my asking price is in US dollars. Go to the apple store and spec out a laptop exactly like this one and you will see that this is over 500 dollars off of new!

Come on people, computers are just like a car, you can buy a stripped down version of a model or a loaded version. Which is going to be more expensive? :rolleyes:

if you go to the Apple store and click on save, you can get a single 1.8 brand new for 1899 and just sell your PB. Saves you the hassle of the trade. just thought id give you the heads up about that deal
