Search before posting. Many have given their thoughts before. I direct you to:

Keynote on iBook: always freezes
My First Real World Experience Opinions of Keynote

Keynote is it really??

I will leave the thread open so that anyone who does have experience can post if they wish.

I'll post just for the heck of it...

I have a 500MHz iBook, 20GB HD, and 384MB RAM and Keynote 1.0

at 800 x 600 in keynote nothing skips, not even movie files. All the text and graphics are clean and crisp, the transitions are perfect and there is only the slightest pause from click to actual action. As for exporting, Export to PPT is exactly as most people have posted, so is import.

All in all, it's a badass app as far as I'm concerned. Nothing for me to complain about

I have an iBook 800, RAM maxed out. Keynote is excellent considering it's a 1.0 release.

With some themes, typing and rotating graphics is a bit slow, apparently it makes use of AltiVec (I asked some guys working on Cubes and they said that it is ok). When playing videos in presentation modes the framerate drops to about 10-15 fps (don't have numbers though, it's just my educated guess). Strangely, video playback nearly without any dropped frames in editing mode.

But still, Keynote is really worth it ... I wish it would have arrived one day earlier, because I've had a presentation the day it arrived (found it in my mailbox after I came home).
