I agree, the ability to drive a larger monitor is the PowerBook's only 
real advantage.  There are apparently hacks out there to allow doing 
this with the iBook as well, but with a new one I personally wouldn't 
try that, since it would negate your warranty.

Since you're a student, you may end up doing presentations, depending 
upon your major and instructors, and being able to project a 
presentation and have notes on your monitor might be an advantage as 
well.  Again, this is a function of the PB's built-in dual-head 
capability and may not be useful for you.
