Well I think I've pretty much decided to sell my 17" Powerbook, or at least see what offers there are. Now that I'm not in college anymore, I don't need/want a laptop as a desktop replacement. A 12" Powerbook would be much more appealling for what I want at this point, plus give me a little more cash to throw at a desktop setup for home.
So here is what I have:
17" Rev. D Powerbook
1.67 GHz
1.5 GB RAM
100 GB 5400 RPM HDD
Superdrive
128 MB VRAM
AE/BT
Great functional/cosmetic condition
Applecare just expired today, unfortunately, I believe. I bought this machine earlier this year from a fellow MacRumors member. It has been nothing short of fantastic.
Make me some offers! :)

How much vram does this PB have? If it is 128 MB, I may consider taking it despite the lack of applecare and hi res.
BTW, how much battery power is left?

Yes, it definitely has 128 MB VRAM. It also has a Superdrive, which I forgot to put originally. As for the battery capacity, isn't there some program you can run to tell you about your battery?

What do you think a fair price would be?

Maybe the Dell XPS + the mybook 500gb hard drive? OR maybe XPS 400 + Sony DSC-W7 camera? I live in NJ so we can meet half way :)

Well I have a revision D 12" powerbook, standard RAM with only a combodrive. How much more would you want? Also has applecare (just bought it a couple days ago)
I am just wondering, in case i decided to want a bigger laptop

Well, I would like to see $1300 to come out of it. I know people around here think that's nuts, lol, but that's what I'm hoping. I'll try my list (my name is Craig, hehe) if nothing amounts here.

Hey thanks for the offer, but I'm not really interested in a PC or camera right now.

I would think $350 more. Let me know what you think! I don't care about the Superdrive as have my iMac that I took to work (and it is awesome there) and will be pushing for another desktop system in the future. Plus the fact that I don't ever burn DVDs, hehe. Get the bigger laptop. You know you want to. :p

Yeah, that's it! I ran it on my Powerbook and it said my battery is at 77% having had 98 load cycles. That probably could be better for a year old computer, but I took it to classes and everything while I had it in college.
I can post pictures if anyone would like tonight when I get home, but it just looks like any other 17" powerbook you've ever seen, hehe.
