Just upgraded to the MBP 2.5 15" and will soon be selling my old powerbook. As title says, it's 12" powerbook, 1ghz G4, 1.25gb ram, 80gb western digital drive, 802.11b/g airport extreme card installed.
The 60gb drive went bad and I upgraded to an 80gb wd drive.
The Bad:
Combo drive will not burn cds and makes grinding noise when reading. Been that way since I bought it used off the marketplace here. Does not read sometimes. As such it must be considered unusable.
The F11 key will not stay on the clip. I screwed that up putting the hard drive in. Do have the key still, so maybe the clip can be replaced - I never checked.
The battery is only good for 1.5 - 2 hours
The Good:
Everything else works just fine.
Aesthetics:
Couple of minor scratches from standard use but otherwise acceptable.
Would come with 10.3.x install discs, mini vga, mini dvi, original manual, powerblock, iLife 06 (assuming I can find the disks), How-Do-Everything-Mac-Panther book (http://www.amazon.com/How-Do-Everything-Mac-Panther/dp/007225355X/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1205039262&sr=11-1). Wil also throw in a 5.25" cd burner if you want to buy an external usb/firewire case for it.
Won't be ready to actually sell for another week to ten days; want to make sure the new MBP remains problem free and to quadruple check that I've pulled everything off the powerbook.
My eBay profile is 'pedale'.
I'd give a 14 day guarantee that it comes as described.
