Condition & Notes

This unit is in excellent condition, and was purchased from the original owner who used it for graphic design work. It is complete with all the original packaging, power cable, three hot-swappable expansion bay modules (1 battery, 1 DVD-ROM, 1 3.5” floppy), software CDs, documentation, and even the original Apple stickers.

This particular machine is the 250 MHz Wallstreet model from early 1998 - midway through the PowerBook G3 series (1997 - 2001). It has the 13.3” display, as this was the last generation of PowerBooks available in three different display sizes (12.1”, 13.3”, and 14.1”). This second-generation Wallstreet line succeeded the first-gen Kanga models introduced in late 1997, and preceded the third-gen Wallstreet II (PDQ) models introduced in late 1998.

It is in fully working order, and is currently running Mac OS 9.1.
