Powerbook for Sale

2009-01-29 Update: The Powerbook has been sold.

I'm selling my old Powerbook G4. I purchased it in October of 2003 and used it as my primary computer until I started working at Technorati in September of 2006. In July 2006, I had extensive work done on the machine to fix some of the defects of the early G4s (covered under AppleCare). Apple replaced the following:

  • top case
  • bottom case
  • latch
  • LCD display
  • keyboard
  • main logic board

As a result, the computer looks like new and works very well.

I looked at similar computers on eBay, and took into account the near-pristine condition of the machine (due to the above-listed repairs).
