Aqua-Soft ForumsI'm really interested in getting a PowerBook G4 for college (I'm majoring in Multimedia & Web Design over at the Shaumberg, Illinois Institute of Art), but I've found that they are extremely pricey. Basically what I want is a 12" - 1 ghz with 256 ram and at least a 30 gig HD, preferably with 10.3 installed on it.. I can't find any other Mac dealers other than the Mac Store and CompUSA. Does anybody know of any online Mac dealers with really good prices?
Powerbook G4 Pricing
The problem is that Apple has a tight rope on the prices of their computers. So the probabilty of finding any cheaper is literally zero.
I've seen amazon.com have powerbooks 17" go for as low as 1600, they are sold by independent people so you have to be careful what you go for, keep in mind things like escrow (so you don't get e-screwed), apple warranty, etc.
get a student or a teacher to get you an edu price?
You'll save about 100 or 200 bucks

when do you need your powerbook? i know you said you wanted 1ghz, but i was planning on selling my 667mhz (512mb, 30gb, 10.3, airport) later this year (like around september)
i wish i had money... i have a wallet in my pocket with a 20 in it. i have nothing more. twenty measley bucks. i doubt you want to give me it for 20 dollars.
Or you can always source it out on eBay as well... You might get really good deals when people are getting rid of their PBooks for whatever reasons. Just be extra careful during the transactions and all should be fine.
