    iBook G4 (Late 2003)

    My aunt finally sprung and got a new computer, 13" macbook air, but now her old old computer is useless to her! Before diving into Craigslist to see if anybody wants this old thing thought i'd ask here.

    It's ancient I know, but I THINK (will confirm later once she gives me the serial number) that it's a late 2003 model.

    Specs
    Spoiler: show
    introduced 2003.10.22 at US$1,299 (933 MHz) and $1,499 (1 GHz); discontinued 2004.04.19
    requires Mac OS X 10.3 or later
    CPU: 933 MHz/1.07 GHz G4
    bus: 133 MHz
    ROM: 4 MB, NewWorld ROM in RAM architecture
    RAM: 256 MB of SDRAM (128 MB soldered in place), expandable to 1.125 GB using one 1.25" PC2100 compliant SO-DIMM (PC2700 compatible)
    Level 2 cache: 256 KB on-chip cache
    Video: ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 4x AGP
    VRAM: 32 MB
    display: 14.1" 24-bit SVGA (1024 x 768) color active matrix, resolution scaling for 640 x 480 and 800 x 600 modes
    video out: VGA and composite video
    hard drive: 40/60 GB UltraATA-100
    optical drive: 16x8x24x CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo drive
    floppy drive: external USB only
    USB: 2 USB 2.0 ports
    FireWire: 1 FW400 port
    ethernet: 10/100Base-T
    modem: v.92 56k
    WiFi: 802.11g AirPort Extreme optional
    microphone: built in
    PC Card slots: none
    Battery: rated at 6 hours
    size: 12.7 x 10.2 x 1.35" (32.3 x 25.9 x 3.4 cm)
    weight: 5.9 pounds (2.7 kg) with battery


    I'm certainly not looking for much for it. If anyone is interested let me know and throw me a price.

    I'm not sure it's even worth the cost of shipping to be honest :\
    I think your best bet would be to find someone local on Craigslist. Good luck!

    I was thinking somewhere along the lines of like $100. Think even that is too steep?

    Yeah, for something that old and (presumably, unless there's something I don't know) lacking in purpose.

    What's the shipping going to be like? I might pay like $40 for it, if it's not in really bad condition.

    It's actually got 500MB of RAM! It's in decent shape, normal wear I'd say. I'm gonna see if someone on Craigslist will pay $100 for it. I might just keep it for funsies if it's gonna fetch me less than that.
