PowerBook G3 laptop w/ 10GB hard drive - $85 shipped

#1 Post by pianowizard » Tue Feb 28, 2006 1:46 am

Up for sale is a PowerBook G3 laptop computer in good working condition. A unique thing about the keyboard is that it has Japanese markings, because it was originally made for the Japanese market. But it's not a problem if you don't use the Japanese markings, because all the usual English letters, numbers, symbols, and functional keys are there. All original manuals (written in Japanese; can download English PDF files from Apple.com), CD-ROM discs, adapters and cables are included. The laptop works perfectly, except that the display hinge has become very loose, a problem that seems to affect many G3 laptops (see http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/ws_hinge.html). Thus, you should either use the computer with the lid leaning against a wall (consider the computer a desktop replacement!), or get it fixed. Here are the specifications:

233MHz processor
160MB RAM
10GB hard drive
internal CD-ROM drive
14.1-inch color display (bright and sharp, in near-mint condition)
built-in ethernet port
built-in modem
two PCMCIA slots
SCSI drive port
mouse port
battery that holds a charge and lasts about half an hour (an estimate)
power adapter
OS 9.2 and Microsoft Office 2001 preinstalled

I bought it from a Japanese friend two years ago, and he installed the English version of OS 9.2 on it so that I can use the keyboard like an English-only keyboard, but if you want, you can replace the OS with a Japanese OS and convert it into a Japanese-and-English keyboard again.

If interested, please send me a PM.
