Thread Starter 
hello all, im interested in getting the 12" powerbook, except im not that good when it comes to mac. i have a few questions that i hope you guys can help me with.

1. Can the PB be turned into a PC format? Can someone explain "Virtual PC" to me?
2. How does the G4 compare to the P-M and Turion in performance, speed, battery, etc.
3. What is the ETA on the G5 and the Tiger?
4. How does the PB handle games? (I play Splinter Cell every now and then)

Thanks everyone.

not really, virtua pc is for those apps you MUST have.. not gaming and the like.. it's not fast.. but workable with a lot of ram and some patience.

it'sa wash, some things are faster on the pb, some on the pentium m.. clock for clock very similar

g5 laptop, not before september i doubt.. tiger by the end of april (speculated)

not a gaming machine at all.. if you want to game you need to step up to a 15"
