It's interesting to speculate what the machine I'm using (MacBook) would be like with a Cell rather then the Core2Duo. A lot of general purpose day to day stuff would likely be slower - that's the sort of stuff Core2Duo is good at. However the only really processor intensive stuff I do is editing high MP images and 1080p video - the Core2Duo chokes on the images and it can't play 1080p smoothly from a movie editor. A Cell on the other hand wouldn't have even broken a sweat.
