      I bought a Macbook in November 2007 and I am finding that it is really slow. One of the major reasons for me buying a faster up to date computer was to use it for sketchup. Is there some setting I have to change to make it faster?

        try going to sketchup preferences -> openGL -> click 'use hardware acceleration'...

        an 07 macbook is definitely fine for running sketchup.. i use a powerbook from 04 when i'm on the road and it's fine..

            well that sounds more likely the cause..

            lots of small problems i keep hearing about with a few of my apps/leopard... i think i'll wait it out for another 6mos or so before i upgrade..
