I have upgraded the RAM to 2GB of DDR2 667. I have also installed a new 160GB Western Digital Scorpio 5400RPM 8MB Cache HD. It is much faster than the stock HD.

The machine is an 8.7 / 10 in terms of physical condition. There are a few minor scratches (hard to see them) and the underside paint of the 'N' key is messed up. The keyboard backlighting works great, and looks awesome! This machine really looks very elegant in my opinion.

I will include a boxed copy of OS X 10.5 Leopard at no additional charge.

Pics coming soon.

Price: $550 shipping included to the Continental U.S. I will ship worldwide for an additional $25.

I ship USPS Priority mail unless you specify otherwise.

Insurance for this item is optional.

A very nice brenthaven mobility bag with removeable (and thickly padded) slipcase is available with the laptop for an additional $50.

Paypal is the preferred method of payment, although I do accept cashiers check from a major bank or a U.S. Postal Money order. If choosing the paper route, I will hold the item until the check / mo clears my bank and I can withdraw the ca$h.

talk about a rare spec'd out model powerbook. DDR2, 1440x960 screen and finding one with the DL drive is tough, especially if it's not beat up. that model honestly in that condition is worth about $700 on ebay or more realistically. I wish i had the money to pick this up for $550, pretty good deal on a rare spec'd out powerbook!
