I picked the 12" 1.33/superdrive PowerBook over the 14.1" 1.2/superdrive based on 4 points. (config: 768 RAM, largest HD available, bluetooth, superdrive, extra power adapter, extra battery and applecare).
1. equally configured there was only a $234 (educational) price difference
2. PB a 64MB graphics card compared to the 32MB in the iBook
3. The PB had a more substantial/quality feel to it
4. The PB LCD "seemed" to be of higher quality than the iBooks (or it could be PB colored glasses).
I'm very happy with my 12" PB.
The 15" would have more of a price difference, but I think that it is worth it if you are going to be using the PB in a "work" environment. The iBook is fine for home stuff and some lower end work, but the PB really shows its stuff when you start doing alot of PS work or alot of coding (where you need multiple windows open).
