I am considering a Mac Powerbook G4, so this has to go after years of faithful service. I bought this in May of 2004 and it set me back $2200 :eek:

Specs:

Dell Inspiron 8600 w/ 15" widescreen lcd
*Pentium M 2.0 GHz processor w/ arctic silver 5 thermal paste installed
*1.5 GB DDR
*60 GB IDE HD
*128 MB ATI Radeon 9600 Pro video card
*NEC DVD-R/W CD-R/W combo drive


Comes with:

*AC Adapter
*The software restore disks
*PCMCIA Proxim Orinoco a/b/g wireless card (works in linux too)
*Windows XP and/or Linux (which ever you prefer. I can set up both as well)


The Quirks:

The battery is probably on its way out, as I get ~ 30 minutes out of it now.

There are a few isolated minor scratches and some smooth spots on the plastic where my wrist has sat for 4 years :p.

Asking [highlight]$525 shipped via priority insured w/ DC within the US[/highlight].

I'll snap pics if anyone is seriously interested in it.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I'll have to do some research on those apple batteries.

I may just turn this into a hackintosh :360:

Thanks for the kind words :)

Epic price drop. I have put this thing on ebay twice only to have a hacked account "purchase" this laptop.

I want to avoid ebay.
