15.4 inches of high tech goodness
October 10th, 2006
On Friday I was presented by Turner with my brand spanking new 15.4″ MacBook Pro (2.16 GHz Core Duo, 2 GB RAM, Radeon X1600 256MB video, if you care to know). I was given the choice of any machine I wanted to work off of and that was my pick. Mmmmm… feel the love… or is that jealousy I’m smelling?
So anyways… (Nacho fans?) I’ll be selling my 12″ G4 SpyBook. Before I do something stupid like list it on eBay, I’d much rather sell it to someone I know (and they in turn will be glad to not pay shipping). Here are the specs:
- 12″ 1.33GHz G4 PowerBook
- 768 MB RAM
- 80 GB Hard Drive (recently replaced)
- Combo drive (i.e., everything except the DVD burner)
- Bluetooth & Airport (802.11g) (recently replaced)
- OS X 10.4.8
- no Applecare
- custom shaping (read: slight dent) near the battery
- complete generic specs
- I’m including my Brenthaven 12″ laptop bag in the deal
I was thinking of charging around $550. I’ll be up in Greenville this weekend, if that matters to anyone.

Hey Jeff-
I bought a MacBook Pro with the same specs a couple of weeks ago. Now I’m saving up for a 30″ Cinema Display.

Do you have a bag for your MacBookPro? I ordered a STM Alley (smbags.com.au/mediumalley) for mine. It may be a little bigger than I need. There’s a fine line between not enough room and too much.
The Oakley Vertical (http://oakley.com/o/o3110d) looks well made too.

Micah just got a new ipod nano for FREE too! He opened up a bank account (those Maine banks…) and got a brand spankin’ new nano! I’d just like to know when’s my turn for the “free Mac give-away”.
awesome, my congrats!

Chris-
Actually the one I wanted to get was this one:
InCase Sling Bag
They’re apparently not being made anymore and this is the only thing I could find that’s really like it… sling bag that fits a 15.4″ laptop…
I ended up getting a Wenger Synergy backpack. It’s definitely on the “too much” room side, but I think I might still get the InCase Sling Bag and use a particular one for when I need more or less room.

That’s great! Go Micah! I think his daughter will be using it more than he will.

At this point she just knows it doesn’t taste good. That’s good for me. Sweet computer and interesting GW facts.
