The macbooks are slower with graphical programs like photoshop suite. And they aren't perfectly compatible with older programs developed for macintosh. Hence most people I know are not converting over (Even anytime soon). You are right to wait until native apps become available. I would let other people debug the machine. If you need a laptop soon, the powerbook is still a great purchase.

Speaking as someone with a powerbook, I don't use a mouse at all. Initially, I hated the touchpad, and bought a wireless mouse with that in mind. However, I've brought out my bluetooth mouse a total of 3-5 times in the 2 years i've owned this laptop. Mac has plenty of keyboard shortcuts. You just need to learn them. :)

I can't wait to upgrade to 0S 10.4 next month!
