[G4] Powerbook V iBook

[Roger Harris]

I would find the difference verses the money, to make the iBook a  
clear win for the uses you describe. The hard drive of the Power Book  
is bigger and faster; But you can change the iBook drive later and  
max the RAM for much less than the cost of a PB. If you do a lot of  
audio work the PB is better because of the faster system buss and RAM.
