I just noticed that Newegg has "recertified" 1.33 GHz G4 12" iBooks for $210. The reviews aren't so great, so it looks like one should be returned to return one or two for problems that "recertification" didn't catch.

I thought it was odd enough to see a six-year-old laptop still in the regular retail supply chain that it was worth noting.

Thats a lot of money to pay for an old iBook...thats around Core Duo MacBook territory...

I don't know where you live but original Core Duo MacBooks are still double that price in the Pacific Northwest USA.

Thats pretty wild. I guess they still have to make sure they're turning a profit, but they could at least get an 80GB drive in there for over $200. Still a less risky way to get an iBook without going through eBay I guess.
