Yeah i just switched over from Dell to a 12" Powerbook G4! I am a Dell hardware tech and everything (and that is a reason I switched haha) Guess i learned to much about how much be…

mwurman: I, too, am a convert since 2001. My experience is that my powermac and powerbooks are slower. period. I have everything maxed out but certain things just take a while t…

I made the switch 6 years ago and in spite of the windows users at work "not getting it", I have been very happy and I doubt I will ever buy a windows machine ever again.

The only problem now is the wait. I use my notebook for business and being without a notebook for 3-4 weeks is kindof a pain. Hopefully I'll get lucky and get shipment much earlier…

I'm going to need a raw organizer very soon and I was thinking about Bibble Pro. I was wondering, how fast is it. Can anyone give me their experience/predictions. Also, if anyone h…

What do you consider to be too excessive about it? I'm not arguing, I just haven't heard that position on Photohop before. I'm also curious to know what your creative projects mi…

By excessive I mean it is not geared towards photo organizing. Since that is my main concern I want the tools that allow me to do just that, plus a few extra features like the one…

Being a pro user I'm not acquainted with any applications specifically geared at organizing photos. Given the narrow scope of features you want I'd think you'd be hard-pressed to f…

Right, suffice it to say that Bibble, Aperature, and many other RAW workflow programs satisfy enough of my requirements. That is, all but one that I'm unsure of. Going back to the …

Have you looked into the Gimp?

It's not just speed but also quality. Bibble is quick and easy to see what is going on. The controls are nice and obvious to use and very good. I haven't seen version 4.6 (that cam…

What's 'vicLib FFT'?

I think you mean "veclib". As far as I remember it is a test of Altivec performance. Of course the MacBook is going to bomb on this test seeing as it does not have Altivec in har…

It's great to have early benchmarks, but Xbench isn't exactly the best for the purpose. Also, the %increase column is just plain old wrong, or at least misleading. There are nume…

Keep in mind that of his two comparison laptops, the PowerBook had 2 gigs of RAM, the MBP only 1 gig. Even out the RAM and results would have been even more one-sided. Of course, t…

Can anyone post scores from the latest universal version of Cinebench 9.5?
