shrug. What's the fastest CPU on a toshiba? The fastest I could find at their website was a 2.0 duo core. The fastest MacBook Pro has a 2.16 duo core. The older Mac laptops are based on an ancient powerpc G4 design that is quite slow by today's standards. IBM stopped conentrating on Apple-oriented processors because there was more money in games consoles, so Apple switched their entire product line to Intel as of this year. Unless your friend bought his in the past 6 months or so, his Mac laptop is at least 5x as slow as the current Mac laptops.
