I love my new 17" powerbook. It'll be awhile before the processor is obsolete - the IBM 970
PPC processors will be used on desktops, first, and the powerbooks wont see them for at least a year, I bet. Even though the G4 Moto' may not have the clock speeds that Intel gets,
native OSX app's run fast enough for me. Also, it is ridiculously easy to integrate into any kind of network and I've never experienced a crash, yet. I have had a few problems with Safari - however, even as a beta, it's much quicker than IE, and is only going to get better. Although the 17" is one of the more expensive laptops, I think it represents great value as there's so much hardware included: 60 gig HD, Bluetooth, AirportExtreme, Firewire 800 & 400, Superdrive, external monitor support, etc, etc. But what makes the powerbook so nice is that it has a real 'industrial strength' operating system that will surely make any Windoze
user envious.
