You'll probably get more longterm bang-for-the-buck with the PowerBook, for sure...all those reasons listed above are true and dead-on.

The few things the iBook might have over the PowerBook (well, one of them is definite, the other two up for debate, with recent PowerBooks out there):

1. iBook definitely more rugged and roadworthy. They're just made that way.
2. iBooks historically have tended to get stronger AirPort reception.
3. Same thing as #2, regarding battery life.

Again, that might be different now (#2 and #3) with these more recent PowerBooks. But #1 is an undisputable fact. Some research - or input from others here - could confirm or debunk #2 and #3
