-- Posted by Belfonte at 5:20 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 I'm considering buying a mac PowerBook from a friend for $550. 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? -- Posted by Striptease at 5:20 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 The HDD isn't very big :/ -- Posted by CoolGirlChrissi at 5:21 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 macs are the stuff -- Posted by Live Just To Die at 5:21 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 You need to be expeienced with MAC's before you get one. That is my only warning. -- Posted by Belfonte at 5:23 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 I am ok expirenced with them, my highschool uses only macs -- Posted by Elite Taste 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 -- Posted by espresso8097 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. -- Posted by Tuski at 12:47 am on Aug. 27, 2008 Not a good deal -- Posted by mysticgohan at 12:33 pm on Aug. 29, 2008 No, for $550 you could be a nice budget laptop like a Toshiba or Acer that blows it out of the water.
