My CTX AMD K6-300/128 MB RAM/3 GB drive laptop is obviously at the end of its life. I was in the "shopping" process for a laptop for 2 months now, and I considered a number of PC laptops, including the Compaq Presario 1525US. At the end, I decided to get the new 12" Powerbook, came in last week, and I am since then using it as my primary machine. Here is what I think about it.

>>USB 2.0 has been proven to not even meet the speeds it is claimed to have. I have a 4 port USB 2.0 card in my G4 and its not any better than 1.1 for speed (USB 2.0 CanoScan LiDE 30).<<
USB2 not reaching full speed isn't the point. Any new computer should have all usb2 ports. They are full backwards compatable. To make them usb2 takes basicly zero effort on the maker. Just because USB may not be fast as it claims (if you statement is true) it's still faster and USB 2 devises are out there in masses. People should be able to use them to their potential. It doesn't matter if Apple wants to get people to use Firewire there is way more USB product out there and that isn't going to change. They need to support whats out there not what they may want to. Not having USB2 on a newly designed laptop is just a flat out defect in the machine and apple.
