The April issue of MacWorld on page 32 compares the 12 inch Powerbook 
867 and the iBook 800.

The Powerbook is rated almost twice as fast in the overall score. In 
the Photoshop suite it is 3 times faster. iMovie 2.1.2 rendering is 4 
times faster. iTunes mp3 encode is 3x faster. Almost twice as many 
frames in Quake III and Cinema 4D rendering is twice as fast.

Those extra $500 bucks deliver a little more in the performance 
department.

Maybe the review is online at macworld.
