[QUOTE="JazzTrpt, post: 7576"] I would say no as well. I don't see the P20-S203 on Toshiba's website, so I'll use their top of the line laptop. First of all, don't even start comparing processor speeds. The 1 GHz G4 processor is extremely capable...maybe moreso in some tasks than the P4 2.8 GHz. The standard RAM is the same. I'm not sure if you can upgrade the Toshiba's RAM, but the 17" pb is upgradable to 1 GB of RAM. Forget hardware for a moment....The operating system is where Apple computers truly shine. I suggest finding a Mac somewhere that you can play with just to see how you like the OS and such. I guarantee you will see the advantages over Windows immediately! Happy hunting.... [/QUOTE]
