[QUOTE="djames42, post: 313578, member: 13241"] I don't find the performance of CS2 on my 1.83ghz CD MPB to be significantly different than on my G4 1.42ghz Mini (which is comparable in speed to what you're going to get with a Powerbook). When CS3 comes out, it'll blow away the native G4 performance, and it should be out in what, six months? If you go for a Mac, don't go for a PPC. If you're unhappy with the performance of CS2 under Rosetta, install Bootcamp or Parallels and run the Windows version of CS2 to tide you over until CS3 comes out. If you're still torn, keep in mind that you're going to find very few people who've made the switch to MacOS who don't wish they'd done it earlier. You will pay a slight premium, since you can find non-Apple laptops in the sub-$1000 range, but the hardware won't be up to spec with Apple's cheapest ($1100) Macbook model, and the general consensus is that the software won't be anywhere near close!
