Great finds. See if you can get a G3 for the 1400 -- it makes it a totally different animal. Although my 1400+G3/333 still feels slower than my 300MHz blueberryBook, it still runs …

Is it the last model with the high resolution screen or the previous model?

AlBooks Nice one mate. The AlBooks still have plenty of life left in 'em. I still use mine as my main laptop. That said, I'd never want a 17", as I can't look at one and say "O…

VERY nice score, comrade!

Aluminum 17" 1.67 on ebay for 460.00. Not one scratch or any dents, which is a miracle b/c everyone i've seen looks like it was through the war...
