I have no doubt that G4 PowerBook is good for the average user as well as iBook. How will these laptops handle the following tasks:



- Running remote desktop to Windows XP machine from Virtual PC 7

- Overall Virtual PC performance?

- Running remote GNOME X Windows session.

- Occasional Java development in Eclipse.

    I have had reasonable performance using Eclipse for schoolwork on an iBook G3 800 MHz
