Apple Macintosh Portable M5120 Power Supply Carrying Case. SELLING FOR PARTS OR NOT WORKINGINTERNATIONAL BUYERS
Nothing I can do about shipping costs. It is heavy and the size of the box is large. I use Ebay Global Shipping ONLY so the actual International shipping costs are not visible to me. NO - I WILL NOT CHANGE THE SHIPPING METHOD. I won't answer any more questions about it. Buy it or don't buy it. Won't power up due to the dead battery (classic Apple design flaw). *See r...eason below.Very clean vintage laptop/luggable/portable. Includes power adapter and case with shoulder strap. Great candidate for refurbishment or for parts. The screen doesn't look great but I am assuming that would get replaced.Selling as it is seen in the pictures Unlike laterportable computersfrom Apple and other manufacturers, the battery is charged in series with the supply of power to the computer.*If the battery can no longer hold a charge, then the computer cannot run on AC power and hence it will not boot. The main reason for this is that the original power supply had a very low output. This is also why in many instances the special low-power hard drive would not spin up. Several popular unauthorized workarounds were devised, including to use the power supply from the PowerBook 100 Series which provides a higher output. As with automotive batteries, the sealed lead acid cells used in the Portable failed if they were fully discharged. The batteries are no longer manufactured and it is very rare to find an original battery that will hold charge and allow the computer to start. It is possible to repack the battery with new cells, or use alternative 6 V batteries.There were three lead-acid cells inside the battery; each were manufactured by Gates Energy Products (now EnerSys) and they were also used in Quantum 1 battery packs for photographic flash use.The Macintosh Portable and PowerBook 100 can run Macintosh System 6.0.4 through System 7.5.5.In May 2006, PC World rated the Macintosh Portable as the seventeenth worst tech product of all time.By contrast, MacUser magazine noted that this machine tended to remain relevant and therefore tended to have a long usage lifespan for those who bought it, reducing its total cost of ownership.
