The Powerbook offers less software (appleworks, quicken, worldbook, and usually a couple of games are not on the powerbooks), but a better video card and a faster processor. OH and depending on which model screen resolution. I opted for the 12" iBook over the 12 Powerbook I didn't feel the $500 price difference was worth the processor speed..
