That was power adaptors, sorry i confused yall!anything under 100 bucks is fair for a fully working pwerbook, in 2008 i paid $200 for G4 12” loaded with CS3. OWC is givng batteries away for these powerbooks only 4 bucks!

You should totally buy one. They really are awesome looking & feeling writing/composition machines & definitely worth the money. View attachment 823596
I did. They may have had just the one but not any more.look in garage or some other part of their website, i k ow friday i saw one that might have soLd out
OP, get a 15". Preferably a 2005. The DLSR and early 05 model before it both have the same GPU, yet the DLSR has more pixels to push, and DDR2 RAM does not make that great of a difference. So given that, you'll also get more out of the early 05's GPU than the DLSR's. It will also be cheaper, less sought after, and more commonly available, so you'll have an easier time securing one while getting more value out of it.
Don't make the misstep I made...
I have the 17" and 15" DLSDs and the 12" at 1.33Ghz - I love them all but the 12" is my favourite - it feels more solid and all of it's perceived shortcomings (RAM, GPU and lower speed) don't have any impact...and I can control the CPU speed - something that can't be done on the DLSDs.
You (deliberately?)overlooked the hair-tearing, frustratingly un-friendly repairability shortcomings of these otherwise great 12" PowerBooks. Oh, and the hot-bottoms of course!

Getting the penultimate PB15 is another potential mistake. That one suffers from sudden death memory slot syndrome. The 17" from that period seems free from that blight. The 15" DLSD is worth the extra just for the peace of mind of having 2GB of RAM available for heavier apps if you don't want the 17".
Check eBay whenever the 1.67SL comes up how often they are described as having 1GB of RAM onboard. There's a reason for that.
I can't say I've ever heard of these models experiencing that, but I can say mine has never had any graphical issues.But don't they have display issues, like graphical artifacts?

On the other hand, does anyone know the speed difference of the 1.5 models and the 1.67 ones? They have most of the same specs and don't suffer from prominent issues, do they?
Nope.But don't they have display issues, like graphical artifacts?
Nope.
As for the A1106

Apple also references the 1.5GHz as being prone to this fault. I did have this PB back in the day, which never showed any issues in all the time I owned it but I suppose there must have been enough complaints for Apple to have included it in the repair program.
The nice thing about a DLSD when it fails though is that you can just use a 2GB stick of DDR2 if I'm not mistaken, which is pretty easy to come by. As far as I know, (correct me if I'm wrong!) the biggest modules for the DDR required by the earlier models are 1GB.Not just exclusive to those two models, my 15" DLSD has the failure too.

But then you still can't take advantage of Double Data Rate.
To be fair, despite their talk of products holding their value, Apple never really wants you to buy a used device.We spent more time on this topic this week that Apple this decade
Well, yes my Mac Mini 1,1 caught that bug, too. The point is, those two PB models were prone to that lower memory slot failing. It led to a repair program, which to my knowledge was not forthcoming for either the DLSD or my Mac Mini, which would suggest just bad luck on our parts with a faulty logic board as opposed to a design/inherent production error.Not just exclusive to those two models, my 15" DLSD has the failure too.
You're confusing with Dual Channel which I believe Powerbooks don't have?
