apple ibook G4 - is this worth it?

It's for $400. Should I doooo it?

You can see the specs in the picture:

 

btw, can you tell me if that's a glossy screen or not? TFT? What resolution does that look like? Thanks

 

it's not glossy.

 

i just realized... is this an apple powerbook g4? it is, isn't it? it's not the ibook like i thought!

is this widescreen? thanks

 

It is a Powerbook. Looks to be in good condition, and it seems to be one of the later models. I myself would love to buy one of those for US$400, but see how it fits your needs. I assume it is this model:

you should do a little research before you buy it I think, but yes that is a good deal. as long as the internals aren't at all damaged etc.

PowerBooks didn't have glossy screens, yes it is widescreen,

 

That's a steal at $400. Definitley worth it. Those dents will probably be fixable, if it matters. I would bet an Apple affiliate could do it for you, though the labor would be a lot. If you're brave you could attempt it yourself, but would have to pretty much completely disassemble the thing. All I'm saying is.. it's possible.

 

That's a Powerbook, so it's better than an iBook anyway Good deal for 400 if it works, I'd say.

According to the Apple specs site (I ran the serial number through their search there) it's a 15.2" display (widescreen it looks like, native resolution 1280x854). Glossy did not exist in Mac portables before Macbooks came out (and later Macbook Pro also got an option for choosing between matte and glossy when ordering).

 

thanks guys. It definitely works and there's nothing wrong with it mechanically. I guess we'll see how this goes. Thanks

 

I'll buy it if you don't, since I need a cheap used notebook for school. Let me know if you're not interested. Thanks
