Cheers for your help guys. I haven't actually seen it but have passed on the info you have given.
Very much appreciated Mark :) [Edited by Mark Champion - 2/1/2002 4:31:03 PM] |
Hello
My friend is looking to buy the following Mac laptop but doesn't know if it is a good price. Knowing nothing about Mac's I thought I'd ask you lot. The spec is 2.1-inch TFT XGA display 600MHz PowerPC G3 256K L2 cache (at 600MHz) 128MB SDRAM memory 20GB Ultra ATA drive DVD/CD-RW drive ATI RAGE Mobility 128 8MB video memory 10/100BASE-T Ethernet 56K internal modem VGA video output Two USB ports FireWire port The guy wants £850 for it. Is it worth it? 6 months old BTW. Thanks Mark |
sounds ok to me - small screen tho :)
|
Sounds fine to me. But I'd have to comment on the very small screen as well ;);)

I think new iBook prices are now less than that. I think if it is a black/dark grey Powerbook then it may be a little OTT.
The iBooks are good bits of kit and with the introduction of the new iMacs the old styles will be worth much less. You mention it is a 600Mhz G3, are you sure? The powerbooks were 333, 400, 500 Mhz. If it is a Powerbook I reckon nearer £500-£600 would be better. If it is a iBook then maybe a bit more but not £850 All IMHO of course. I would suggest you have a word with AllanB and get some up to date prices for the new machines..... |
ooh, that sounds like a mid range ibook, because they have 600mzh G3, plus 12.1 inch TFT XGA screen.
a new ibook of that spec is 1105.53 ex vat, so 850 quid sounds ok. if it's NOT an ibook then it's way to expensive. you seen the machine? does it look like the picture here |
Oh, and Rich does have a point about talking to AllanB, very good chap.
If it were not for the fact that we get a nice discount because we are Premier Apple Devleopers we'd probably get our kit from Allan. |
