Ozfer:
Yea so as the title states I would really like a Oct 19, 2005 (Rev E) 17 or 15 inch Powerbook g4(M9969LL/A, M9970LL/A). The ones with the 1.67Ghz g4 cpu aluminium body ATI Radeon 9700 with 128 MB of DDR SDRAM and uses DDR2 SDRAM instead of DDR. Amount of ram or hdd doesn't matter since I can upgrade that.

Jesus... It's called an iBook or a PowerBook. The internet is your friend if you use it like you should...

OP: you realize this machine doesnt boot mac os 9 natively right?

MacOS 9 Support:   Classic Mode Only*   Windows Support:   Emulation Only
Details:   *This model is capable of using Mac OS 9 applications within the Mac OS X "Classic" environment provided with Mac OS X 10.4.11 "Tiger" and lower ("Classic" is not supported starting with Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard"). It cannot boot into Mac OS 9.

pretty sure the last mac os 9 booting powerbook is:

and g3 ibook:

Yea I didn't really want it for OS 9 but I figured someone who has one may be likely to see this here.

Anyways who gives a crap if I call it ibook powerbook macbook whatever at any rate its a power pc laptop made by apple and you know well what I meant as they all refer to apple laptops and I specifically stated what models. Go yell Jesus somewhere else  >:(

DieHard:
Ozfer...

you are not being criticized, it is just that certain Macs can be used for OS 9 and others cannot... so it was an assumption that you were interested (since this is an OS 9 forum) in a mac laptop that could boot directly to OS 9... which is as Chris mentioned, a PowerBook G4 1 GHz. Titanium series... Not an Aluminum Series...

Now that we know you don't need it for OS 9 then we can suggest eBay, the model you mentioned will still be cheap since it is PPC based and not in high demand... OS X Users won't want it (since it is non-Intel) and OS 9 users won't want it... we have a lot of people willing to help you here.
