Analysis Performance: The iBook has modest to significant better graphics performnance, but in some hard drive activity it is significantly slower than the PowerBook. We have labeled this score yellow because we would like to see it confirmed by other testers, since it is outside of what we would normally expect. Battery life on the iBook is moderately better.
