[QUOTE="_nelsonc, post: 833242, member: 18615"] I recently bought a 1.67 Ghz Powerbook G4 on eBay for $468. It has 1GB of memory, dead battery ($120) and a flaky trackpad button (not fixed yet), but other than that, it works great. I bought it to replace a 600Mhz G3 iBook that was so slow it was driving me crazy. I had bought and sold a 2.15 Ghz Macbook Pro when they first came out and there have only been a couple of times i have noticed performance to be less with the Powerbook. The G4 has the same backlit keyboard and auto dimming screen that the MBP had. I think you will like the Powerbook G4, especially for apps that have not been converted to Universal Binary. [/QUOTE]
