I am a pc-user and I get my first apple next week. It will be a 12,1 " 900 Mhz ibook for travel(storage for my 10d raws), for mails, etc. I have decided an ibook, because the price was very good.

My photoshop work can I do on the pc. But: Must I? I think I will try photoshop on the ibook with a second LCD. I also known, that the G3 is slower than a G4. But ans this is my question:

What is slow? Impossible to work with?

No photographers works with photoshop and g3 machines?

There are photograhers, who works with an ibook and it is ok?

Please forgive my bad English.

i do webdesign work on my ibook 800, with 640mb ram. and i do photomanipulations. normally working on 1.5mb jpgs that i took with my digital camera.

i have no problem with using photoshop on my ibook.

For PhotoShop work, you'll need more than the stock memory to have a decent experience with PS. But other than that, the iBook is more than capable of filling your needs I would imagine. Good luck with your investment.

The Ibook
-I have used the 12" powerbook and the 800MHz Ibook and they feel the
same IMO(with 640MB RAM).

-You will have to do the hack on the Ibook to enable monitor spanning.


Photoshop
- For me it runs fine on an 800Mhz Ibook. I do web design and photoshop
image retouching and on 50MB files it works fine.

- If you are doing big files (over 50MB) the machine will be slow, better get a 15 inch

- If you are doing only basic retouching ( image cropping, Levels, actions etc) it will be ok.
Anything more complex you will need the second screen and it will be slow.
