I was browsing Powerbooks on ebay the other day and saw a G4 12" for £20 buy it now, I offered them £18 and they accepted. It was listed as booting up to an error, I assumed this was a faulty HDD so was happy to purchase anyway. I also had no idea of the spec. It arrived the other day and I was surprised to find it booted straight up in to leopard and quite quickly too. I will have to reformat as the previous owner left all their data on the drive and obviously I need to respect their privacy. It did have a copy of Office 2008 that I tried to copy over to my 17" but I didn't have any luck (errors saying disk full).
Specs and Pictures below:
1.5GHz PowerPC G4
1.25GB Ram
250Gb WD HDD (not sure on the health of this although it seems quick)
F Key missing from keyboard
With regards to the missing key, I'm struggling to find one for a reasonable price. I may have to just look for a whole parts machine to take the keyboard from. Am I right in thinking the size of the key should be the same as the 15" and 17" models? A quick measure with my ruler on my 17" makes me think they are the same.
