| Wanted: Cheap Laptop
Does anyone know where to get a cheap laptop capable of running Mac OS X? I would like it to be $50 or less + shipping. Thanks in advance  |

Erh... You *know* that "laptop capable of running Mac OS X" means iBook/MacBook/PowerBook/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air, right? Which basically means: 50$ or less is a no-go, unless you're willing to rebuild one from various defective ones (which would probably still cost you more than 50$). I think it's a ridiculous endeavour. More specifically, though: *ANY* version of OS X? 10.0/10.1 can be run on the oldest of iBooks with enough RAM. Maybe you'll find a working toilet-seat iBook.

Well actually I found a Clamshell iBook on eBay for $11 plus shipping. I just wanted to know if anyone wants to sell one cheap.

Okay. I'll move the thread to the right forum, then.

I think it is staying low because of it having a fairly bad battery. It has 3 hours left and is still at $11.

If it is still at $11 with the auction end approaching fast, it's either because the Clamshell could need more money pumped into it than it's really worth or, the Clamshell has been categorised wrongly. I've seen items placed in the wrong category before and these are the real bargains if you can find them. I advise against buying the Clamshell (and I realise I am prob too late) unless you know exactly what's wrong with it. Clamshell iBooks are a bit of a collectors item and picking up up for less than $100 is down to a few things, like the onboard specs, RAM, Airport Card, DVD drive, etc. I paid a lot of money for a top of the line 466 MHz iBook Clammie which has a DVD drive & Firewire and about half that for a 366 MHz iBook Clammie. The prices do vary and a lot of people are snapping the cheaper ones up for resale, based on their collectability factor. The best bet is not to rush into any buying and look in the local paper classifieds, keep looking on eBay or other such sites but you will be lucky to pick up something good for < $50. |

How useful are PowerBook G3 750s? Is $20 worth it?
