For Sale: MAXED OUT Powerbook 3400c

[Sawtoothdude]

MAXED OUT:
240Mhz 603e
144MB RAM
2GB HDD
Mac OS 9.1(Or choice of 7.6.1)
2 Hour WORKING Battery
No damage to case except white scratches on top and bottom, this happened to alot of older PowerBooks, missing back port cover but has ADB door. the screen is very dim, i suspect the backlight so i am including another Fully working powerbook for you to take parts from or swap parts to.

Here are full specs:
200Mhz PowerPC
80MB RAM 16 onboard, 64 stick
1.3GB Drive, will instal OS 7.6.1, 8, or 9.
has a bit more scratching than the other, but not too bad. also has battery but does not hold a long charge, about 2-3 minutes, maybe it can be exercised,

So the total package is 2 3400c laptops, a Floppy drive, a CDROM drive, and 2 batteries, I do not know if i have a spare power adapter at the moment


$75 dollars shipped takes both of these things.

Unfortunately, I think whatever you need with a 100GB HD will not be accomplished by this PB. You should at very least look at a G3 powerbook.

As for the OP, I think the price is good for the offering, and a collector or legacy user would benefit from this laptop. I love seeing older hardware beefed up and used in a modern setting.

For $100 I will ship 2 PowerBook 3400cs

of course the Maxed out one as well as one of this spec:

200Mhz 603e
80MB RAM 64MB stick and 16 onboard
1.3ish GB HDD
and installed OS, 7, 8 or 9 you choose.

the 240Mhz's screen is very dim, so it would be better to include the second one just incase the backlight died.

How is 75 Shipped for both machines? I need to get rid of these, they take up too much space in my room.

what could i do on them?You could do just about anything with them. As with any computer, the main limitation is what software you have. Fortunately most of the software you would need can be found on ebay for very reasonable prices.

Those examples were done using Strata Vision 3D 4.0, Strata Studio Pro 1.5.2, Strata MediaPaint 1.1.1, Strata Videoshop 3.0, Adobe Photoshop 5.5 and QuickTime 6.0.3. Nearly anything is possible with a system like this, it is just that most people assume that the only way to do anything must be with the newest and best systems. But if you recall that the 3400c was the fastest laptop in the world 10 years ago, then look at what was being done 8-12 years ago with computers, you can figure out what these are good for.

Their primary limitation is the imagination of the owner I would guess. ;)

I don't think that I could work with it, thanks though ;)
