Well I finally bit the proverbial bullet and nabbed a very tidy looking 15" A1106, for just shy of $70. Unless mister postman uses it for football practice, it doesn't have any dints, just a couple of minor scuffs on the underside. I took in to account a lot of what was said here, much of it was...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I installed windows 10 on the Acer and was surprised to find Microsoft have managed to make an even LESS appealing operating system :-/ Even if i installed Linux on this Acer, it still wouldn't alter the fact its a badly designed pile of c3$p. I've now...

Yikes!

If this company is based in the states, do any members across the pond, fancy doing a little detective work to find out if they do indeed service all the Apple batteries they claim? I would do it, but being in the UK would make it an expensive call :p

Well if you order one, let me know, as i would like to get my hands on one.

Has anyone used these people? I'd like to get a new battery for my Pismo, but at the moment it's looking rather grim. I tried emailing batteryrefill.com but I've had no response from them.

That would be great! Sure! can you pm me details? maybe a pic of the machine? :)

This is why I initially struck intel Macbooks off my list of potential replacements. I'd rather use an older 2005 PPC mac, that might have fixable issues, then a system that has serious design flaws. I really like the plastic macbooks and because of my affinity with my Pismo, I did consider...

*Snigger* I obviously meant useful! Thanks auto correct, thanks a lot! :p

Hi Gorgonops Photoshop and CGI have long been a hobby of mine, so i enjoy sitting down with CS2 and doodling. Over the years I've been able to produce some pretty impressive things with just my Pismo, I bought the iBook for the better screen and faster G4 1.33. Yes I want photoshop to run...

Nice, would love to find a faster CPU for it. But dont processors above 700mhz cause the system bus to go slower? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

If you read what I wrote initially that explains why I'm looking at the PowerBook.

As I said before, I don't want to use Linux on this Acer. It's a mobile processor, so running Photoshop through wine would be like pulling teeth. For the past week I've been using my iBook for everything I was 'trying' to do on the acer. Even with the books intermittent trackpad issue, its still...

I love the Pismo, it's a great little machine and with its 500mhz G4, I manage to get most of my writing and photshop work done without issue. The 12" G4 iBook is a lot quicker and the screen is great, I think if i dont find a decent powerbook, I'll just keep using the iBook for the more...

As I've said before this is not to be a daily driver, this is for light surfing and writing my tech blog. One of the reasons I'm looking at the last generation powerbook is partially for collecting and also because I have a decent number of apps for PPC already. If i bought an intel mac I would...

Just wanted to thank everyone for their input, I'm still interested in getting one. As it has been said, most of the apple laptops have some issue or another, mig not post a wanted add on the forum. eBay seems to be far to pricey, compared to the $100 price range someone said I should be looking at.

What is the model number for the HR? I'm seriously wonderingwhether to place a wanted add on the forum. Shipping is going to be the killer.

They seem to be selling for more then that over here in the UK :( and the worst being that people dont seem to look after them, all the one's on ebay seem to be scratched or dented. BTW how do you tell the difference between the normal and hi-red models?

Hey guys Still thinking about the Powerbooks G4, what is considered an acceptable price for the 1.6Ghz 15" model?

hahaha typical! Well going by the photo's you posted, i think it looks very similair, plus the time between manufacturing dates, I'd say they will be the same. Going try glueing the fascia on. What glue did you use? i'm thinking hot glue gun.
