[QUOTE="Discerptor, post: 731443, member: 12177"] The PowerBook G4 has a dedicated video card, whereas the MacBook does not. For this reason, Universal Binary games for Mac OS X actually perform better on the old PowerBooks than they do on current MacBooks. And I honestly never encountered sluggishness with my old PowerBook in any programs that weren't performing tasks that would take upwards of several seconds on any setup, so I really don't think CPU is that much a bottleneck for most applications. Plus you get a better screen. All that for less money, and the PowerBook still looks better than the MacBook. I can see people doing it. :P [/QUOTE]
