[QUOTE="rs2sensen, post: 100698, member: 10090"] Yes, if you do the kind of stuff a mac is good for. Don't plan on it being a gaming machine. I have the top of the line newest PB with 1 GB Ram, and for games, it dosn't come close to a pc. Although, for stuff like photoshop, it's twice as fast as my pc. Yes, as far as the number itself. However, the Mac OS uses the processor much more efficiently than Windows. I've yet to find a mass produced Windows laptop that can match the speed of mine. Yea, forget abt. gaming on a mac. Graphic Design, Video Editing, Music Recording. That's the real strength of a mac. Now its great for other stuff too, just anything but games.Compare this, my PC has 512mb Ram with the AMD 64 chip. It is a very powerful chip. My PB runs faster than that pc for everything but games, and it runs faster than any laptop I've never used. Excellent, for everything but games. Photoshop, Illustrator, and other media type software runs twice as fast on my mac than my PC. If you plan on doing work with media and basic computing tasks, it will outperform most windows computers (not like a dual processor 8GB ram...., but most). If games is a necessity for you, forget it. [/Quote] [/QUOTE]
