Did Apple produce a 1.5 ghz 15" powerbook with DDR2 SDRAM, a 128mb Dual Dvi Radeon 9700 video card, superdrive, and the high resolution screen? Or was that just the 1.67ghz version? My dad just bid on a laptop with these specs and I don't think it exists...

ebay item number 5873564255

it's going for like $1125.00 right now.
 
Not sure on all the specs. It sorta looks like this one. Maybe you can find it if you poke around that site.

The Apple Macintosh PowerBook G4/1.5 15" (2) has an ample 15.2" widescreen TFT active-matrix display (1280x854) and features a 1.5 GHz PowerPC 7447a (G4) processor with the AltiVec "Velocity Engine" vector processing unit, 512k SRAM on-chip level 2 cache (3.), 512 MB of PC2700 DDR SDRAM (333 MHz), an 80.0 GB Ultra ATA/100 (5400 RPM) hard drive, a slot-loading 8X/24X/16X/24X DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive, an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (AGP 4X) graphics processor with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM (128 MB dual-link DVI available as a build-to-order option). Connectivity includes Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire "800", USB 2.0, AirPort Extreme (802.11g), and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR.
 
I have the 1.5ghz Powerbook, with that video card, a single layer superdrive, but it lacks those other features I believe.

Nope, the high-res screen version was only 1.67GHz. It came in when they simplified the range down to just 3 models with superdrives across the range. It's either the 1.67GHz model or they're BSing you on the other specs. My guess would be the latter.
 
Either a typo, or something shoddy going on. Perhaps ask the seller a question and see what the response is.
 
we were outbid, so I'm not gonna bother with it anylonger, thanks for all the help with the specs. I truly appreciate it.

From now on I'm gonna have to supervise this purchase.
