But Intel and AMD craps are in fact faster and cheaper. In short you get
more for your bucks. :-D

Thanks ... according to this and related resellers the cost of their laptops was the same as mine for a slightly slower machine. If I was to buy today, the Xeon 2.4 is the best I could get in a laptop (and not all of the sw I need is available), but as we all know (or should) hw cpu advantages don't last long. In 6 mos maybe a faster Xeon will be available, but so might a faster G5.
Anyways ... I'm off this thread.
