[QUOTE="Stephen G, post: 162074, member: 9826"] Hi, I own a 12" ibook G4 1.2ghz w/ 1.25GB Ram, as well as a 14" IBM T30 w/ Pentium 4 1.8ghz + 1GB Ram. I find them to perform similarly, and often find the iBook to be faster, particularly in handling multiple programs running at a time. It is not unusual for me to do all of the following simultaneously on my iBook: -Scan film w/ Epson Scan -Edit already scanned images in Photoshop -Browse internet on Opera -IM with Adium -Work on schoolwork in MS Word -Listen to music in iTunes I find such a set of programs performs much better than if I was doing the same stuff on my T30 at the same time. -Expose on OS X is sooo useful, definetely feel the lack of it on XP -Dashboard is cool, I got Konfabulator on XP.. but it really doesnt compare All I can say is.....even though my T30 is 3 years older than my iBook... my next computer will be another mac....
