I have a powerbook g4 867Mhz 256MB which runs OS X 10.2.8. I'm thinking of upgrading to 10.3 or 10.4 to be able to install OpenOffice and get the wireless connecting to my WPA network.

Can anybody tell me if this will make the laptop slower, or how much slower?

should i just wait for the leopard to come out? Will apple provide a service pack for me to upgrade to once the leopard is out (for a minimal cost if not free)?

I've actually had this problem for over a month, but it has happened more and more frequently.

The laptop doesn't always turn on when I press the On button. Instead, the leds for the power and battery flicker green for a little bit before they die. Sometimes it will turn on, and now it is to the point where it will turn on 1 out of 50+ times of pressing the button.

I chatted with Dell Technical Support last week, and they suggested that I take off the mid-hinge covering. I did, and and it turned on. I replaced the covering, and it worked a few more times. However, I encountered the same problem today and taking off the covering didn't solve the problem. The computer did miraculously turn on though...

Other details:
-Purchased in August 2004
-Warranty ran out this August
-I am currently in Singapore and want my laptop to last the rest of the year until I return to the States.

I have Duo core laptop with 1GB RAM. I have two problems.

My laptop often shows high CPU usage approaching 100% although only few windows of Internet Explorer are open. Even if I do not run any application it shows usage of about 50%.

When I type, some characters do not get typed although I press corresponding keys. There is no problem with keyboard as all keys are working correctly.

Can anyone help?

My iBook is starting to freak out. I think it might be hardware issues. Luckily I got the apple protection plan which expires next year. Since iBooks have been out of production for a year (2 years?), what are the chances that, if they can't fix my mac, they send me a new MacBook?
