PowerBook 1400cs/166

About a week or so ago, i bought a PowerBook 1400cs from eeun, and it came in today! yey! I'm fairly impressed with it; Its very snappy for its age, and Has a good batter! wow!. Thanks for a working battery btw, eeun. They are hard to come by without some serious cash. It hold a 1:30 hour charge. And, by far, the most applealing feature about the whole thing is its keyboard. It beats every laptop I've ever used all to heck.full sized keys on a laptop? yes!. My Next Mission: Geting a wavelean card so i can take this with me on trips.

Specs:
166mhz 603ev
1.4gig HD
64mb ram
Floppy drive (i have a external CDROM im using)

On a side note, this came just in time. The AC adapter on my HP laptop just died, and HP refused to replace it, so, (the ac adapter is but one of MANY MANY problems, never will buy another HP product) this little 'book is gonna get a serious work out. Big props to eeun Blum 3

Hmmm...I should have tested the battery more before selling it...could've charged you more! Acute

Glad it arrived safe and sound.

Seriously. I too have a 1400, and I love it. I have the 1400cs/117, so I don't have the L2 cache, but it runs OS 9.0.4 pretty well, and you just can't beat that keyboard.

I have a 1400c/133 I bought a

I have a 1400c/133 I bought about a month ago. very nice mac. it runs 7.6.1 very well, except it keeps telling me it only has 47-49mb of ram, and I know it has 56mb.

the keyboard is awsome, despite the intense wear the previous (original) owner gave it. the faceplate fell off the CD-ROM drive after i got it, but it works fine without.

also, the original AC adapter (square box, 3 pin grounded AC crod type) was acting like it was dead or dying, as the battery kept draining with it plugged in. The plug on the back is lose (not the jack in the computer, but the connection). i whipped out my yoyo from my wallstree, and it works fine, snug fit, just hope it doesnt fry.

it also has some other cosmetic flaws, scratches on the lear bookcover cover, a crack on the back LCD panel, which bulges, and despite the port door intact, the latch is long gone, so it doesnt close proper. a little duct tape fixes that.

Pretty much any PPC should ha

Pretty much any PPC should handle MP3 just fine. The faster 68ks can handle mono MP3s ok.
