It was the high-end 15” PowerBook G4 that Apple sold at that time. It has the following specifications: -PowerBook 1.5GHz (15.2” TFT) -1.5GHz PowerPC G4 with 128MB Graphics Memory (ATI Radeon 9700) -1024MB DDR333 SDRAM - 2 SO-DIMM (Shipped with 512MB, but I added another 512MB myself) -80GB Ultra ATA drive @ 5400 rpm -SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW) -AirPort Extreme Card (802.11G) -Backlit Keyboard/Mac OS - U.S. EnglishThe Restore CD’s are with the original Mac OSX 10.3 “Jaguar” that shipped with the notebook. I have formatted the hard drive, installed Mac OSX 10.4 “Tiger”, then upgraded that to a “clean” installation of Mac OSX 10.5 “Leopard”. When you first power the notebook up, it will prompt you to setup your notebook and user accounts, etc. This is just as it was when I first turned it on brand new. The screen is bright and uniform, with no dead pixels. The keyboard is like new, with no stains on the keys. Also, the keys are like new, with no signs of any paint rubbing off. The trackpad is like new, as I usually used a USB mouse, and it still has its original, uniform appearance. The magnetic latch to the cover still works great. I understand that many of these models have had problems with this latch wearing out, but this one works just fine. The LCD screen is clean and blemish free, with no scratches or impressions from the keyboard from closing the lid. All 4 of the rubber footpads are intact. The battery will still give between 2-3 hours of power, depending on your usage and system settings. All accessories are included, including the Apple stickers and even the clear plastic protective cap for the A/C power adapter.Detailed photos of EVERY item can be found HERE.__________________________________________________________________________________     Apple Aluminum Wireless KeyboardThis is the current model Apple Aluminum Wireless (Bluetooth) Keyboard. I originally paid $79 for this keyboard, but barely used it because I prefer to use a keyboard with a dedicated number pad.Detailed photos of EVERY item can be found HERE.__________________________________________________________________________________     Apple Final Cut Studio 5This is Apple’s Final Cut Studio 5 professional video production suite. It retailed for $1299. This is the full retail version and it includes: -Final Cut Pro 5 -Motion 2 -Soundtrack Pro -DVD Studio Pro 4 -LiveType -CompressorThis is the Universal Binary version that will run on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs. I purchased Soundtrack Pro when Apple still sold it individually, then, when Apple started only selling it in the Final Cut Studio 5 bundle, they had a special offer to get the entire Final Cut Studio bundle, sans printed documentation. That is why there is a printed manual for Soundtrack Pro, but not the other programs. The software does include full electronic documentation, though. This software’s serial number IS eligible for upgrade pricing, as I have not upgraded using this serial number.Detailed photos of EVERY item can be found HERE.__________________________________________________________________________________     Microsoft Office for Mac 2004This is Microsoft’s Office for Mac 2004 Student and Teacher Edition. It retailed for $149. It includes Entourage, Word, Excel, Power Point, Messenger and Remote Desktop Connection. It includes 3 Product Keys to install on 3 Macs.Detailed photos of EVERY item can be found HERE.__________________________________________________________________________________     Vue 5 InfiniteThis is e-on Software’s Vue 5 Infinite landscape creation and visualization software. This software is amazing. If you are unfamiliar with it, check out the e-on Software site. This software comes on two hybrid CD’s including both the Mac and PC versions of the software. Vue 5 will import and export 3D content in the .SHD (Shade) format and also will import .pz3 (Poser) files and animation. This is the Education version of the software that retailed for $299. It is exactly the same as the full retail version of the software that retailed for $595, however, it has an academic license, so it is for personal and non-commercial use. Basically, you are not supposed to use it to make money. Technically. Also included is the Quick Reference card (not pictured).Detailed photos of EVERY item can be found HERE.__________________________________________________________________________________     Shade 7 StandardThis is Shade 7 Standard 3D modeling software for Mac. Now owned by Smith Micro software, this product retailed for $199.

It includes the PoserFusion plug in to allow it to load and save scenes and objects created in Poser. You can also load objects created with Shade 7 into Vue 5 Infinite.Detailed photos of EVERY item can be found HERE.__________________________________________________________________________________     Poser 6 OSX - Special EditionThis is the Poser 6 Special Edition kit that includes a special “Winter Queen” content CD and Shade 7 Designer LE. This software retailed for $249. Content made in Poser is able to be loaded into both Shade 7 Standard and Vue 5 Infinite.
