While I wait for my 12" PB to come from Apple. I have a question for any Matlab and Simulink users. Will I ran into any big problems with Matlab and Simulink on my PB? With so, what is the best way to aviod them?

Might want to ask this question (or have this topic moved) to the software form where there will be more help. IIRC Matlab is made natively for OSX so I wouldn't see why it would be any different than the windows version (though I have not yet needed to buy a copy for my studies here.. I do have a copy of the peecee version). I can tell you that mathematica 5.0 works fine

Thanks, wuzup100

How do one get a topic moved?

I've never used Simulink, but Matlab runs fine on a 12-inch Powerbook (Rev.A, 867 MHz). Running 'bench' on my laptop gives a relative speed of 8, compared with a speed of 25 for a PowerMac G5, 2 GHz Dual. A new laptop would of course be faster than mine. I actually rarely use the laptop for Matlab since I have a desktop available.

A bigger issue might be screen size, since Matlab can use a lot of windows depending on how you use it. An exteral monitor would solve that problem.
