Not a problem to diagnose, but a sort of request.

If anyone knows off a Powerbook or a Laptop of fairly decent spec, for less than £400 please could you let me know the details

As of right now (02:31) the current bid price is £310, and there's just under 9 hours left on that item.

If you can Martin, try and find an early model PowerBook G4 around the same price... the G3 is a proven performer but incredibly slow. It won't do any modern graphics/3D/video apps any justice. Plus, it can't take advantage of any of the newer Mac OS X technologies like Quartz Extreme.

However, if you plan on using it to only check e-mail or surf the web, a G3 should be adequate.

Have a look at this.

It dosn't come with a battery, but you can pick one up for around £20 - and it hasn't got an OS, but I'm sure you have one lying around somewhere ;)
