[QUOTE="glynn, post: 532799, member: 41876"] Having a Powerbook G4 with 10.3.9 1.25mhz and now also having the newest Macbook Pro 2.2, I find certain things not as good or as fast as the older machine. i.e from waking the machine from sleep mode the old one is MUCH faster at reconnecting to the airport wireless network, in fact it's immediate, whereas the MBC take a minute or so. Also when browsing the web the pointer takes time to show if I have used the keyboard arrows to scroll. It seems to me that Apple have the new stuff out in the wrong order, by this I mean they produce fast machines with an operating system that runs fast and "then" introduce a new OS that slows the machine down. Why dont they do the OS and Then make the machine to suit ? I am seriously thinking of downgrading this MBC to 10.4, its ridiculous. How on earth can a G4 powerbook @ only 512 ram and 1.25 mhz be faster than a MBP with 2Gb ram and 2.24 mhz???. [/QUOTE]
