This is the best PowerBook you can get - it rocks the 1.67 GHz PowerPC 7447A CPU and a 17.0" widescreen display with the special high-res 1680x1050 panel. I upgraded it to 2GB RAM (the maximum) and put in a 120GB solid state drive.

Everything's working fine. The battery shouldn't be relied on because it's 18 years old, but OS X reports a 50-minute charge and 347 cycles. Screen is great, DVD drive is great.

The housing has a few minor scuffs and scrapes. A couple of the keyboard keys have light fading. The old gray rubber feet were missing, so I added new black ones.

I installed fresh, fully upgraded copies of OS X 10.4.11 "Tiger" and 10.5.7 "Leopard" on the two main partitions, and made smaller partitions to hold bootable images of the stock install discs. The Tiger side of things has a fully working Classic Mode setup with an OS 9 System Folder ready to go.

Shipping cost includes full insurance.

You're looking at an independent, one-person operation. That's why I can take my time testing items and fixing them up. It's how I make sure you get what you need. I'm an oldschool ebay seller with fourteen years of experience, and I stand behind my listings.

Most of my items are secondhand finds. I rescue artifacts from the wild and pair them with people who'll love and take care of them. If you're searching for something you don't see here, let me know. I have a ton of sources.

The shipping quotes listed are economy and middle-range shipping options. If you're interested in priority courier services, ask me for a custom quote.

I ship everywhere. If eBay's shipping calculator doesn't show a shipping rate for your country, message me and I'll get you one.

I pack very securely in thick cardboard containers, custom-built for each item. Anything even slightly delicate will be secured with shock-absorbent foam. If I'm shipping something that breaks easily, like glassware or a boombox, I'll double-box it with two ridiculously thick layers of padding.
