There's nothing to laugh at iJosbo235 (except for this post, which blatantly displays your envy and loath for Intel simply due to Apple's current dated offerings).
The P4M has a new architecture and instructions (I am not a chip expert, so forgive me). Anyway, the current P4 is as fast as the 1.2GHz P3 (which is incredibly fast for a notebook), but is built differently and performs better in certain areas. P4 speed performance will increase when Intel pushes the MHz up (just like the desktop P4). The foundation is set, now speed just needs to be added. Intel's mobile chip roadmap is impressive and updates are right around the corner.
Since we're being humorous iJosbo235, why don't you tell us what kind of processor you have in your Mac? I think we'd all like a good laugh.

By my estimates the P4m isn't worth it's weight in salt. I'd estimate that it's at LEAST half as fast as a desktop p4, probably even slower.
You want proof? I really don't care enough to go the distance. If you care enough, do the comparison tests. I just know what kind of comp-arch goes into the P4m, and there's no way to defy physics. That is, there's no way the p4 can be very fast. Here's an interesting concept: higher clock speeds actually make transistors more power hungry and slower.
Unless, of course, you have a better knowledge of semiconductors and cpu architecture than I do -- which I may add is definitely possible -- I don't think you can make an argument here. If looked at some documents about the p4m, and let me tell you, there's nothing to be impressed about.
And to you, popstar, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but as far as speed and usability go, I don't think there's much that stands in the way of the PowerBook G4.

<strong>Intel has made a pentium 4 so they can have it in laptops and isnt that fast. Its all been done</strong><hr></blockquote>
What kind of sentence is this? It makes no sense!

Dude, FotNS, you have no idea how freaking hard I am laughing right now because of your post. You are right on...what the heck is this guy saying??
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the laugh, it is pretty late, after all.
