[QUOTE="sursuciofla, post: 256411"] If it specifically says Powerbook then go for the latest G4 PB or the new MacBook Pro(new powerbook just different name since switching to Intel chip). Adobe Apps such as CS2 are faster on the G4 for now just because the Mac version is built for the G4/G5 processer but next year CS3 will not have that problem because it will be universal. So it will be faster since it will not be using Rosetta. I have used ibook G4 during my graphics education and it has been great to me. I have also used a powerbook as well and both are great. PB is faster of course and a bit more powerful. I would suggest the G4 PB if you have to save a little cash but a MbP if you have the extra cash to spend. 15" only though. [/QUOTE]
