The processer has 1.33 GHz, 1GB of memory, and the battery has 98 cycles on it for about a 300 cycle life The drive has about 75 GB with about 41 GB left The computer is a PowerBook G4 with a Leapard operating system Is this a good buy for $550?

Tuski Posted at 12:47 am on Aug. 27, 2008 Not a good deal espresso8097 Posted at 10:15 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 If that is an Intel processor that is a decent deal, if it is a PowerPC processor keep looking. Elite Taste Posted at 5:31 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Not good that must be in old laptop If you can only afford that, then do it, but that's not that fast and not that much space Belfonte Posted at 5:23 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 I am ok expirenced with them, my highschool uses only macs Live Just To Die Posted at 5:21 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 You need to be expeienced with MAC's before you get one.
