New PB G4 worth getting, considering..
I already have a PM G4 Dual 450Mhz, 500MB Ram, 40 Gig HD running Jaguar. I'm ready to upgrade to a new computer and I am strongly considering the new Powerbook G4, 1Gh w/ Superdrive and 500MB Ram. I mainly use my computer for design purposes (Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, Flash etc)
Will the Powerbook with its single processor give me a great speed and performance boost over my Dual 450 tower? The fact that I can take it to clients is a real advantage, but if it doesn't run circles around my current tower, which I will be selling to help pay for the new one, then it may not be worth it.

But I still recommend getting the PB, it will give you a very fast, mobile workstation with all possibilities!
I'm not looking to out perform the Dual 1.25 Tower, but in most instances the Powerbook would need to outperform my Dual 450. Another concern is this. Can the Powerbook withstand 4-9 hours a day of use and still last a few years?
Just as fast as my dual gig sometimes!!!
