[QUOTE="hokiethang, post: 6704"] First, who needs a hardware raid in a laptop... thats insane... second, performance is irrelevant, a P4 is a different chip, and does things wrong which wastes a lot of clock cycles. A G4 with altivec does things right, with higher speed busses and doesn't waste nearly as many clock cycles. Value doesn't mean anything either, as people who buy powerbooks buy them for what they are good at, lightweight, less than an inch thick, dvd burning capability, fast processors, quality components and an amazing operating system, not because they are cheap. PC Laptops have a long way to go before they can be a threat for mac laptops. Show me a P4 that doesn't waste 50% of its clock cycles waiting for information from a bus, and ill be convinced that PCs are starting to catch up. [/QUOTE]
