Its stability and ease of use is unrivaled. Second, OS X is the most important reason to buy a Mac. Just put it to sleep and it will wake instantly.

OS X boots up quite quickly on a Powerbook G4, though I can't offer a direct comparison to Windows 2000 (never done one) and the idea is.once you boot it, you shouldn't have to shut it down. Mhz is as useless a measure without more info. Similarly, would you buy a car with a 9000 RPM redline over a car with a 6000 RPM redline? Sure the 9000 sounds 1.5 times as fast.and they sure will market it as such.but there are a LOT of 6000 RPM cars out there that will best the 9000 RPM Honda S2000. This is a total oversimplification of the entire story, but its a decent way to describe it. But whereas the P4 might have 20+ steps to do, the G4 has only 7, so its fewer steps at a slower speed, but its still fast. The clockspeed (mhz) is merely a measure of how fast each step in execution is.
Of course, here's the required mention of the "Mhz Myth." A 667 Mhz G4 isn't more than twice as slow as the 1.6 Ghz P4. It's actually a 667 or 800 Mhz chip, btw, but regardless, its also got a MB of 元 cache which drastically improves performance. This is a decision that many people have to make, so I'll be as objective as I can.įirst off, rest assured that the Powerbook G4 is no slouch in speed. and state facts, since I can't really make a decision with just statements as "get a powerbook because its better." Thankyou I guess my main concerns are how does a Mac run, since I have never used a Mac in my life except once which is a G3 I think in school, and it seems slow (I think it was OS 9.) Does it boot up as fast and run as good as Windows 2000 Pro? And I can't really see the justification to spend so much on a 663mhz when I can get a 1.6 ghz just for a prettier laptop (what is a 663mhz comparable to a PC?) Please give me an honest opinion.

I have asked the forum I usually go to and they say go to Dell (probably because its a PC Forum, so I need a second perspective). What I'm looking for is a laptop that is fast, stable, and durable. I do not need this laptop to play games since I already have an OC'ed Athlon XP 1800 at home.
This laptop is will be mainly used for work, school, and business (eg: checking email/web, chatting, dvds, word proc, ect). Hiya, I'm considering getting a Powerbook G4 663 or a Dell Inspiron 4100.
