I attribute the MacBook Pro's performance to an I/O subsystem which is vastly better than what we've seen on Macs to date. However, the MacBook Pro is only slightly slower than the beefy dual-processor Power Mac G5. Note that the MacBook Pro is almost exactly twice as fast as the PowerBook G4, despite being handicapped by one-fourth of the installed RAM and a nominally slower disk. Here are the results of a " time xcodebuild clean build -target BBEdit -configuration Release": PowerBook G4 1.67, 2GB, 7200rpm drive My initial experience with an Intel iMac was very positive, so I was hopeful that the MacBook Pro would be able to hold its end up. However…Īs much as I like my PowerBook G4, it's frustratingly slow to develop on - builds can take a very long time. I'm trying not to get too attached to it, because it really is quite nice, and I know that the loaner period is finite. Since the Apple Store sends out most PowerBook repairs, including logic board replacements, that's a guaranteed two days of down time - longer if there's a delay with the parts.įortunately, my main man in Developer Relations was sympathetic to my problem, and in this case he went way above and beyond - and as a result I have a MacBook Pro 1.83 in front of me. ![]() The machine is still under warranty, but as my email, word processing, Excel, and business data machine, it's a critical component in the daily operation of my business, so I really can't be without it for more than a couple of hours. The Ethernet port on my 17-inch PowerBook G4 failed late last week. ![]()
