I can sell my Powerbook 17" G4 1.67Ghz for about the same price I can buy a Macbook 2.0Ghz.
Should I do this? Is the Macbook faster than than my powerbook?
I would miss the large screen. I don't use the firewire 800. I only use the pcmcia slot for a SD card reader. I use mainly Cubase and Logic.
Thoughts?

The speed is only marginally better as a normal user you will not even notice if you happy with what you have got why change If they both in the same production year stay with what you've got.
It is not always that simple I know.
Take care!

Your Powerbook has a separate video RAM versus a shared memory architecture on the Macbook. The Macbook is only slightly faster than the Powerbook, not enough to justify the $1K +price.

Before you change your Powerbook to Macbook, please aware that macbook has a randomly shot down problem.
