can anyone direct me to some processing power/speed comparisons between g4 powerbooks and pc's(pentium or centrino). desktop pcs or pc notebooks...anything like that. I have found the ones on the G5 vs pentium but id like to see a comparison to the powerbooks.

Having worked on
P4s
Centrino
P3s
G5s
and G4sG4s are must more solid than a centrio by far. And overall my 1.0ghz powrbook had about the same power as my 1.8 ghz P4 dell Insprion.
G5s have much more power over the p4. The AMD 64 and G5 are my fave chips over all.
If you are comparing a centrino to a G4... no question.. G4.. not only because of power but the whole Apple package is the best you can get.
Right now PCs are just bug machines... maybe that will change with longhorn but for now they are pretty crappy

cheers guys.
im kinda tossing up between a 1.5ghz g4 powerbook,
Athlon 64 3000 or a
3.0/3.6ghz p4 desktop pc.i generally want it to do print, web and possibly video editing, After effects, premiere that sorta shit.
just hoping a powerbook can do all that i need.

mac vs. pc
I like both. if you can afford both get both. As a designer for web, you will need to at least test for both. 90 percent of the market is pc. so if the issue is money design for the pc. flash is faster on the pc anyway. but mac's are virtually virus free and look cool.I have both. A mac desktop, and a pc laptop. They are both essential to my business. In my opinion, Use your mac for surfing and any downloading related activity., and your pc for your applications. If used right, XP is a very quick OS, assuming you run a clean box, no virus, no spam, no unecessary shareware shit. But OSX is rock solid, rarely crashes. although your might apps crash more often.
Get both. They are both useful.
If you can only get one, get a mac.

Im trying to move away from web and more into print i think....although i will definately need to be doing some web on it at times.
