Got today from a colleque an beat-up iBook 12" 1.2Ghz who was about to thow it away!

The machine is bit scratcy but just fine display, has no powersupply, has no harddisk, the screen-lid hinge is missing, the left-cursor key is missing.

I used 10.4 installation CD to take a look of the hardware specs. It has 512Mb RAM, cd-rw-drive, bluetooth. It has no airport, oddly everymac.com states it should have it as standard. I had same model many years ago and it had airport for sure. It might be removed when the harddisc was removed.. I haven't yet opened the machine so i don't know yet what else might be missing :lol: Oh, the trackpad don't seem to work, might be loose/missing cable after the "opening up".

If the internal parts are there, i just need to take a look and find ATA harddisc, the cursor key cap, airport card and maybe the trackpad cable.

It's so convinient size for a laptop!

Edit: Seems to be iBook G4 (Early 2004)-model wich seems to be missing from everymac.com

Edit2: There is an airport card inside! I took a quick peek inside as the matter was bothering me. No time to further open this machine tonight however.
