I'm pretty happy with my PowerBook, although it tends to run Java
apps considerably slower than either Windows or Linux. All in all
though, I'm quite happy with it (BTW, this is a 1 GHz G4 with 1 GB RAM).
Just be aware that with new Java releases, Apple requires an OS
upgrade. I had to buy Tiger in order to get Java 5 support. I
suspect Java 6 will not work on Tiger when Apple supports it.
So, in summary, I'm pretty happy with Java dev on my PowerBook. I
just wish I knew beforehand that Java 5 was going to take 9 months or
however longer to support than Windows & Linux had and that it would
require an OS upgrade and a RAM upgrade to facilitate the new OS.
I hope some of that helps you out.

Hello,
I have about 1400.00 to spend on a laptop and am undecided between
an ibook or a pc laptop.
Would there be any problems using a mac to develop java apps using
eclipse and tapestry or jsf?
I also have Java Studio Creator installed on my PC at work.
Thanks fro the help
Frank
