  For spec comparisons get the Mac bible: MacTracker!
  
  
  
  Benchmark tests get published irregularly by the media. The most recent article Google spit up is from last February, from our own Katie Marsall, about the spectacular forthcoming i7 MBP.

  Geekbench is a good test for raw performance:
  
  
  
  17" 1.67GHz G4 Powerbook = 956

  Well over 6 times faster.
