You've got to be kidding about the G4 being adequate enough for film editing. Please keep in mind that the front side bus is quite anemic and is not comparable to the FSB of the G5 chip. That alone is helpful with rendering. I have a tibook 550 G4 and a 1.6 Ghz G5 powermac. I do realize that G5 chip is nearly three times as fast at my pbook Mhz-wise, but don't discount the bus! Using Magic Bullet for Editors, it took my powermac a couple of HOURS just to render a few filters on just a 7 minute short! I would NEVER try that on my tibook. It would even take a few minutes for the thing to load the clips, let alone render them. So a G5 Powerbook would definitely address a legitimate need for those of us who would need to edit on the go. Thanks.
