Here is something I can't believe: people say that Macs are slow. My 1.33 GHz G4 PowerBook is faster than most, if not all, PCs I've used. My brother's 2.4 GHz P4, for instance, is excrutiatingly slow - and it's got 512 MB RAM. Our 933 MHz PIII is disproportionately slower than the G4. Now, I'll concede that games run slower on the Mac... FAR slower... but I chalk it up to poor porting and lack of DX9.
But when it comes to using everyday programs, launching applications, using the OS in general, and programs such as Photoshop GoLive, the Mac is incredibly faster. So I'm curious why people say Macs are slow, and what they use to back that up. People seem to complain that Apple laptops are too slow, but it doesn't seem that way to me.
