Main Description:
The Apple 12” Aluminum Case PowerBook G4 is said to be the ultimate portable laptop. The PowerBook 12” is what made me fall in love with apples products. Perfect for any young child, student, or adult, containing a 1.5GHz processor, the very fastest you can get. A brand new extremely fast 250GB hard drive disk, the largest you can possibly purchase from any third party, this one was professionally installed by Mac Service. Along with a total of 768MB of RAM, which was upgraded from 512 MB of RAM. Delivering astounding speed to your PowerBook, It has a built in DVD player and CD burner. It comes with install disks, port adapters, a power adapter with the power cord and more. Amazingly fast Air Port Extreme card installed for all Wi-Fi connections. It will also ship with two batteries, one of them the apple recall which will be labeled on the inside for the best visual appearances “Bad.” The other is a perfectly normal replacement battery that was sent by apple, which has great charge, it will be in the laptop at full charge which is up to 3 hours depending on what you do. The PowerBook comes with Bluetooth 2.0 installed. And even comes with the PowerBook manual and original shipping box. Which is absolutely everything you would receive when it was new all of which is either in mint condition or unopened. It even comes with ALL of this completely extra and brand new software, pre-installed!

Condition:
This system is fully operational, problem free. The brand new hard drive disk is faster than ever, and is accessed unbelievable fast. The RAM along with every single file is fully optimized for best performance. Circulation of air within the laptop is perfectly normal. The LCD screen is bright and clear, no dead pixels and scratch free. The aluminum case is in exceptional condition, with only two minor bends along the front of the machine, however these bends do not affect the operation of the machine. The screen backing where the apple symbol lies is very clear, one very minor scratch on the lower edge, which you can only see if your looking for it. There are also small normal wear markings that you would find in any machine on the inside where you rest your hands, it is not a discoloration just a few marks. The keyboard and trackpad is completely clean with no markings. The trackpad along with all of the keys are fully operational, and do not require you to press down unusually hard. I have treated this laptop with extreme care, and have kept it in the neoprene incase sleeve during all transportation to prevent any avoidable dents or scratches. It has been used and stored in a completely smoke-free environment. Before shipping, it will even be cleaned using iKlear, a professional cleaning kit for all laptops and desktops. Overall it’s as shinny and elegant as when it first came out of the box.
This auction does have a reserve price, but based on the quality of the product, the technical specifications, and hundreds of dollars worth of software, it is the minimum worth of the machine.
I guarantee you will receive the computer and every accessory exactly as described and pictured, I’m not trying to sell something I don’t have.
Good Luck, and Happy Bidding!
