Hi,
I'm currently typing this on a 2005 powerbook, I think it's the last one before Intel. It has a backlit keyboard and I love it for what I use it. Perfect companion for syncing music on my 4S, watching some movies, browsing etc. I'm more than happy with it, the only thing I would like it would be 720p movies, but you can't have it all eh..
According to powerbookmedic, it's the A1106 model.
Mine has 1.5GHz and 1.5GB of SDRAM and ATI 9700 with 64mb.
After long debate, I've decided to get the Retina MacBook 2013 when it will come out next summer so it will be quite a wait. So I've been thinking to throw in a SSD to make it a more enjoyable wait.
I found SATA-II SSDs from Kingston 128gb at a very good price of 90$.
From reading this forum's F.A.Q and searching around, I see the powerbooks require a IDE/ATA ssd, not the regular SATA ones you find these days.
Unfortunately, those seem too expensive since nobody buys them anymore and I wouldn't want to invest in this machine more than 100-120$..
For those who tested, is it worth to put a SSD in this ? I know I won't be getting 300-500MB speeds, but if it's too small of a difference from the stock HDD (say .. 20-30mbps) I doubt I should do it. I just want a significant difference, not an earth-shatering one.
Thanks
